Kitchen

What kind of windows are best for a kitchen?

Solar shades and glass block windows are a good choice for a kitchen and a good option in tight areas.

These types of windows can be hard to install, so it is advisable to get specialist help.

What type of window is best for a kitchen?

In a small house, it is unlikely that a large window will fit (with or without solar shades or a frameless design) unless there is more room than can be found elsewhere, so more conventional window designs such as sliding doors and French doors are worth considering if you’re looking for a central light source in a small area.

But if you want to maximise light and open up the space, consider going for a sliding door instead.

Hang it

What kind of windows are best for a loft bedroom?

We explain how to make your loft bedroom even better than the one in your childhood…

And our step-by-step guide includes how to hang the door, fitted headboard, and simple storage to make your new space feel cosy.

Loft windows are often recessed (they hang down from the ceiling and can only be reached by climbing up the steps) so it is advisable to make sure they are wide enough to have room for your head.

Some traditional lintels are as thin as a strand of hair and you’ll need a professional builder to install them. You will need to paint the exposed wood frame and we’d recommend double glazing for added security and less disturbance in a busy loft.

As well as insulation, we’d recommend double glazing to avoid any draughts.

Before you install a glass or timber framed or specially-designed French door, ensure the door itself is bolted to the wall (in a position which is still easily accessible).

Ceiling

What kind of windows are best for a ceiling?

This is one of the most important parts of any room for natural light but will likely cost a lot more than the walls.

Look for a clear glass pane with a high sash to allow as much light in as possible. Frameless windows with sash blinds will generally work best, although you may still need to mount blackout blinds to reduce glare in certain positions.

Exterior

What kind of windows are best for an exterior space?

Install solar shades over the windows to increase the amount of daylight and keep the room cool in summer, or stick with solid glass and let the rays through in winter.

Make sure you get high quality fittings to avoid damage to the windows and the solar shade.

Display

What kind of windows are best for display space?

On a smaller scale, display windows can be beneficial for keeping your home warm or airy in colder months.

They can also be used to protect valuable items from thieves and to avoid too much sun for items displayed on wicker furniture or on shelves.

They can be expensive to install, but are far cheaper than replacing them every few years.

Frame and shelves: where do I hang storage?

This all depends the space how much space you have available. Here’s a few ideas on how to use display windows:
