Filling your home with natural sunlight does more than brighten your spaces, it lightens your mood and improves energy levels for your whole family. But as many of us live within hailing distance of our neighbors, gaining a lot of light can also mean losing a lot of privacy. When you’re ready to remodel your home, consider these three solutions to make your home sunny and bright without oversharing with your neighbors.
Yes, skylights are back and showing up in the best houses. They’re amazing at capturing light throughout the day, but unlike previous iterations, today’s improved engineering and construction techniques fully eliminate leaks and fogging. You can choose to gain just sunlight (and starlight at night) with a fixed, non-venting type or capture the summer breezes with our new smartsensor skylight that opens on all four sides.
Awning windows are a perfect combination of privacy and light for bathrooms, bedrooms, and more. They can be placed just high enough to fill your room with natural light without a direct line of sight from outside. Top hinges that swing open at the bottom make these exactly right to make the most of those lilac-scented spring days.
Some windows just need something special, and our tinted or texturized glass is a great option. Bronze-, gray-, or green-tinted glass lends a calming and stylish air, and our wide variety of textures will match any architectural style with the degree of privacy you crave.
