Windows are considered as the house’s ‘eyes’. They let you see what is going on outside your house, provide you with a properly-ventilated house by letting in fresh air, create the image of a spacious room, and allows light to enter the house. Imagine a house without windows. It is just like living inside a box!

In a house, the bedroom is the place where people can relax and sleep after a long and tiring day. Because of these functions, bedrooms should be well-ventilated or well-insulated, whatever the situation requires. Fortunately, there are many different types of windows to choose from. Here are some of the types that are appropriate for your bedroom.

• Double-Hung Windows. These are the traditional types and you can usually find these in old houses. There are two parts for this type—the upper outside sash and the lower inside sash. The upper sash slides down while the lower one slides up. These are very easy to clean because they are removable. Moreover, these are great windows for your child’s bedroom because you can open just the upper part while the lower part is closed. You can also control the amount of air that could enter your bedroom. They can also effectively keep rain water from entering your bedroom.

• Jalousie Windows. If you live in a place where the climate is always mild and warm, it is okay to have jalousie windows for your bedroom since they can give your room enough air especially in those hot summer nights. However, these are not ideal for places with cold climates because they are cannot entirely block the wind from entering the room. Moreover, this type cannot completely keep off rain water. The area inside your room nearest the window might get a bit damp when it’s raining.

• Bay Windows. If you have a nice view that you can see when you lookout your bedroom, it is best to have this type of window. It adds interest to your bedroom because its appearance is unique and stylish. Moreover, this type also provides good ventilation and brings in light from multiple angles. It also makes the room appear larger because it brings in the view from the outside.

• Horizontal Slider Windows. These could have one or more immovable glass panels and additional movable panels. The movable panels can be opened horizontally to allow in air. It is also ideal for blocking off cold winds and water from rain.

• Casement Windows. This kind allows light and breeze to enter the bedroom. The glass panels are conveniently attached to hinges and can be opened outward fully to let in the cool breeze and warm sunshine. These are very easy to open and close and are also very easy to clean.

Depending on what you want for your bedroom—cool and airy or warm and cozy, well-lighted or slightly dimmed, practical or stylish—choosing a window is never too difficult. By knowing that there are several types of windows to choose from gives you a lot of options to consider for your bedroom.
