Windows have received lots of attention over the last few years. The emphasis has been on upgrading windows for energy efficiency but now it's time to step back and look at the emotional side of picking the right windows for your home, and that includes changing your existing windows.

As people stay in their homes longer, you want to look for projects to update your home's best features. You'll enjoy your home more, your home will be more attractive when it's time to sell and with the right research and budgeting, you can recoup part of your investment when selling.

Windows that Add More Natural Sunlight

Transom windows - are windows that sit above the beam or crosspiece separating a door or window below it. Earlier transom windows could be opened to provide cross-ventilation before air conditioning became common. They were high and small enough to maintain security and privacy in apartment buildings and office buildings.

Windows that Add More Natural Sunlight

Transom windows are one of my favorite window styles because they let you catch more light as the sun rises or sets so if you have high ceilings and feel like your rooms are too dark, this is a great approach to bringing more light into your home.

Skylights are a perfect solution to adding natural lighting to kitchens and bathrooms where there is very little wall space available for windows. Velux, the leading skylight manufacturer, has created a smaller sun tunnel product for bathrooms which might be overpowered by a skylight.
