Use a Garden Window to Start an Indoor-Outdoor Oasis
A garden window allows you to enjoy natural light and views of the outdoors from inside your home. Unlike a typical window, this type protrudes from the wall and has a specially sloped bottom frame that follows the contour of your lawn or landscape. Some of the benefits of this window type include:
- They make interior spaces feel brighter and more open by maximizing the amount of greenery visible from inside.
- The angled bottom frame rests directly on the ground, reducing the need for a raised planting bed below the window. This allows for an unobstructed view.
- The sloped glass helps shed water and prevent condensation around your new windows. Compared to other window types, this makes cleaning and maintenance easier.
- Installing this type of window is an impactful yet affordable way to transform a room’s atmosphere without major renovations or construction work.
How Can You Customize Your New Windows?
Our team can help you customize your new windows to match your home’s taste. When you work with our team, you can choose the type of material, size, color, and shape. You can choose from the following materials for your windows:
- Vinyl is a synthetic material that is durable, low-maintenance, and available in a variety of colors. It is highly resistant to weathering and does not require painting. Vinyl windows are affordable and energy efficient.
- Fiberglass windows are made of plastic resins reinforced with fiberglass. They are strong, durable, and stable in temperature extremes. Fiberglass will not rust, chip, crack, or peel and requires little upkeep. These windows provide good insulation and are often affordable.
- Wood windows offer a classic, elegant look and come naturally sealed and finished. They allow easy restoration to the original condition with refinishing. However, wood requires more maintenance and is more susceptible to rot, swelling, or warping from moisture compared to other materials.
- Composite windows use plastic resins blended with wood or other materials for strength. They have the look of wood windows but are as low-maintenance as vinyl. They are also less prone to damage from water, are very thermally efficient, and often come with lengthy warranties.
After you choose your window material, our team can help you decide on the color, size, and shape. We work with our reputable partners, Andersen Windows and Kolbe Windows, to offer a wide variety of customization options.
How do You Open and Clean a Garden Window?
Opening and cleaning your window properly is important to maintain its function and appearance over time. Many window designs include a lower sash or side vents that can be opened to allow airflow and ventilation into the room. Before opening, check for any locking mechanisms on the sash and release them. You can then simply lift the bottom sash from the inside, much like a traditional window.
Some models have side vents that swing open instead. Remember to close and re-engage the locks when finished to prevent accidental openings. When it’s time to clean the glass, fully open the window to access both panes easily. Mix a mild, streak-free glass cleaner solution in a spray bottle using warm water.
Lightly spray the solution onto the glass and wipe clean with paper towels or a long-handled squeegee. Be sure to dry the glass thoroughly to avoid water spots. It’s also a good idea to use clippers or a trimmer periodically to neatly edge back any plants growing too close to the frame. This allows the glass to be clearly seen and helps with ventilation and future cleaning.
