How to Choose Your Bedroom Windows

It’s important that every room in your home has the right windows–but this is even more crucial when it comes to your bedroom. After all, this is the one space where you can fully relax and spend some quality alone time. With the right windows installed, you can improve not only comfort in the space but its aesthetics and safety, as well. STL Windows Direct, the premier door and window installation expert in the area, shares a couple of tips on picking the right bedroom windows.

1. Keep it airy. You’ll want to increase your access to natural ventilation in the bedroom. By drawing fresh, cooling breezes into the space, you can make sleeping more comfortable. That’s because there’s less chance of excess heat and moisture buildup in the room. What’s more, keeping your bedroom well-ventilated can reduce your reliance on your air conditioner, helping you save considerably on your cooling bills. 

Your Best Option: Double-hung windows from STL Windows Direct are a champion when it comes to providing natural ventilation because of their two operable sashes, which can be opened at the same time.

2. Follow the code. Local building requirements usually require bedroom windows to be of a specific height and size. This way, homeowners can use them to easily and safely exit their home during an emergency. Given how these codes and regulations exist for your own personal safety, it pays to adhere to them when getting new windows for your bedroom.

Your Best Options. Our casement and sliding windows are good options for meeting these codes because they are easy to operate, and can create a wide opening.

3. Make it bright. Nobody likes a dreary bedroom, so make sure to pick windows that allow plenty of natural light to stream into the space. You’ll find that a well-lit bedroom not only creates a positive difference to your mood–it can give the room a neater, more spacious look, as well.

Your Best Options. Larger casement or sliding windows, or a picture window flanked by casements, can light up your bedroom to great effect, while also maximizing outdoor views.
