Garden windows are popular among homeowners for their unique design and the perks that come with them. These are similar to bay windows and project away from the home. They can be the defining feature of a room if you’re tackling a home remodeling project. Consider the following benefits of this intriguing architectural fixture.

Why You Should Install Garden Windows

1. Space for Plants

Standard garden windows include a platform that extends away from the home and windows on the sides, front, and above. Homeowners love to use this space for growing herbs and plants that may not do as well outside, especially during winter.

Garden windows allow plenty of light to promote growth, and the indoor plants will stand out well if the window overlooks a scenic lawn or outdoor garden.

2. Extra Light & Ventilation

Dark kitchens, bathrooms, or bedrooms welcome the extra light and ventilation these windows provide. Sunlight enters from more than one angle, so you’ll enjoy noticeably more light than with a casement window.

Multiple panes also open, so you can invite breezes into your home. This is especially beneficial in bathrooms with poor ventilation. Built-up moisture can cause mold growth, so consider one of these windows if a master bath is the target of your home remodeling project.

3. Eco-efficiency

Natural breezes and light often lead to reduced electric bills. You won’t have to use electric light fixtures during the day. The UV rays, especially from sun-facing windows, will warm your home in winter to reduce heating costs.

In spring and fall, open these windows to cool your home without running your HVAC system. Aside from monthly savings, you can also rest easy knowing you’re reducing the home’s carbon footprint.
