Ventilation is easily one of the most important things to have in any building. With proper ventilation, stale air can flow out of a room and fresh air can take its place, making indoors safe, cool and comfortable. Windows play a huge role in keeping rooms ventilated, so you have to pay attention to some aspects of their design.
The most obvious factor in a window’s design is its size. When opened, large windows will provide more ventilation than smaller ones. In some cases, you may want to go all out and pick the largest windows you can find, but getting advice from a professional window expert is always wise.
Windows are available in a wide variety of styles, some of which lend themselves to more efficient ventilation. For example, double-hung windows can have sashes at the middle to create two separate openings that will allow constant air flow in the room. A reputable window company like Renewal by Andersen of Montana can install different types of windows to meet our clients’ different needs.
Even window placement will affect how well your window can provide ventilation. For example, two windows placed opposite each other will provide better ventilation than two of them placed side by side. You could also consider adding a skylight to a room with only one window to allow one-way, continuous air flow.
A window contractor like us knows that external factors can affect a window’s ability to keep your home ventilated. For example, having trees or other tall objects that can help channel the wind towards the windows will also help improve the home’s overall ventilation. Climate and average wind speeds can also be a deciding factor, plus a major consideration when picking the window frame material.
