Choosing the right windows for your custom home can dramatically affect its personality.

During a custom home construction, you can design every part. You govern your home design from the paint to the door frames, from the floors to the ceilings. In particular, windows are a significant part of home design and can significantly impact your curb appeal. Therefore, choosing the right windows for your custom home can dramatically affect its personality. Keep reading to learn which windows you should opt for.

Window Style

You will need to consider what kind of windows you want regarding the style. There are numerous window style options: single, slider, casement, fixed, bay, and more. Single windows are likely what you are most used to. These are the window types where you can push the bottom pane upwards while the top pane remains in place. Casement, hopper, and awning windows also swing open from one part of the window, similar to a door.

Furthermore, slider windows for your custom home can be moved via a track, bay windows have huge sills that extend outward from the house, and fixed windows are decorative and inoperable rather than functional. Overall, you should use a mix of window types everywhere in your home because this can increase character and improve a room’s appearance.

Personal Preference

Combining window types throughout your home typically involves personal preference, so don’t hesitate to experiment with your ideas. For instance, a bay window can join any other window type, even side-by-side. However, a single pane beside a casement window might appear uneven. Since fixed windows are primarily decorative, they must be placed with care. The best way to work out placement and window types is to collaborate you’re your reputable home builder. Custom home builders know the right windows for your home to make it beautiful and equal.
