Garden
Whether you're building a new home or refurbishing your current home, garden windows are a great addition to consider. Primary uses for garden windows are herb gardens in kitchens, however, garden windows can house any kind of plant or flower that needs full or partial sunlight. Although garden windows are built primarily for herb and flower gardens, they deliver more than just flowers and herbs, they also add architectural dimensions and massive amounts of sunlight to any room. Garden windows have glass on all sides, with exception to the bottom, and vents on each side which are used to control air flow throughout the year. It's like having a miniature greenhouse in your kitchen or den! If you are looking for a unique and very attractive addition to your home, look no further than a garden window.
Why Should I Consider a Garden Window?
Garden windows protrude from the wall, mimicking the design of a bay window. The garden window was patterned after the greenhouse, which was created to capture the sun's energy through the use of glass or heavy clear plastic sheeting to help grow plants and herbs. The greenhouse concept allows for the efficient conservation of lighting and space heating and there is an easy-to-operate handle to control the vents. They are a great choice if you are looking to brighten a kitchen, or perhaps a bathroom or den.
What Should I Look For in a Garden Window?
Garden windows come in many styles, shapes and sizes. There are several different types of glass that can be used in the garden windows, ranging anywhere from Low E glass to Laminated glass which blocks over 96% of the suns most damaging UV rays. These different types of glass determine your energy savings. Garden windows may also include functional sidelights as well.
Garden Window Materials
Garden window frames come in many different types and options, but the two most common are vinyl and aluminum. Many companies prefer vinyl frames because they provide better thermal performance and better resistance to condensation. To clean the garden windows, manufacturers recommend against using any harsh cleaners. To keep your window working at peak performance for years to come, simply use warm soapy water and let air dry.
