Windows and Natural Ventilation: What You Need to Know

As windows come in numerous styles, they can offer unique functionalities, depending on what the homeowner needs. For instance, sliding windows are designed for smooth and effortless operation. Picture windows, on the other hand, are known to offer expansive views, maximizing the beauty of outdoor spaces.

Windows and Natural Ventilation

This is why, if you’re looking to increase air circulation within your home, you have to choose the best replacement windows for your needs. Renewal by Andersen® of Memphis can help you with that.

Window Styles Designed for Superior Ventilation

One of the most popular styles for improving indoor air circulation is the double-hung. Their two operable sashes, which slide up and down, can be open both at the same time to allow for fresh breezes to enter your home abundantly. At the same time, they allow warm air to exit from your interior.

Another ideal style to consider for your home window replacement is the casement. Casement windows act like doors, so you can open up their panels wide to catch air when you need to. By increasing ventilation inside your home, you can prevent poor indoor air quality and the health risks related to it.

Consider the Window Openings, Too

Aside from style, you want to consider the size of the window opening. Unlike double-hungs, casement windows, have hinges on the side that allow you to swing them in or out. As a result, they require a wide opening for better access to fresh breezes. In fact, you can angle their sashes to direct even more air into your indoors.

Whether you’re looking for excellent window replacement or door replacement, hire only the name you can trust.

"Love my new windows from Renewal by Andersen. The installation was seamless. The installers were great and very professional. They also made sure to clean up after themselves. Need windows go with Renewal by Andersen."

"Our windows were the original ones that were installed when they built the house in 1972. They wouldn't open, they had been painted shut. They were single pane and the glaze was cracked everywhere. I had to put plastic up every year to help keep the house warm at least a little bit. My MIL was surprised that there weren't any panes in the windows. Now she loves it. We have put a film on the windows so we can see out but no one can see in. We are loving it!"
