3 Ways To Bring In Sunshine During The Fall Season

1. Let your light shine

From windows, to skylights, patio doors and entry doors there are several ways for natural light to enter your home. Regularly clean all exterior glass surfaces to ensure the maximum amount of light possible, not to mention the beautiful view outside. Keep window treatments tied back or vented during daytime hours so as to not prevent light from coming in. Plan your furniture placement with natural light in mind. Don’t block possible openings that allow natural light to come in.

2. Additional Light Sources

Consider installing clerestory windows or sidelights. Clerestory windows are relatively smaller and can be installed in gables or unused parts on the wall. Clerestory windows offer several advantages for interior living spaces. 1. Natural light: Clerestory windows help illuminate interior spaces by drawing in light from the upper levels of a home. 2. Privacy: Homeowners in urban areas gain privacy from clerestory windows without sacrificing natural light. Certain areas of the house like entry halls are typically darker, so if you’re considering getting new entry doors sidelights are a great option.

3. Don’t ignore south-facing windows

South-facing windows generally have a bad reputation because the light coming from that direction is too harsh. But it is an abundant light source, nevertheless. Choose replacement windows that feature glass with low-emissivity coatings. These coatings make it possible to have windows that have low visible transmittance (VT) ratings that can tame harsh lighting.

We could not be happier with our windows! We had all of the original windows replaced on our 41 year old home and the difference is night and day. The house is so much quieter and it has saved us quite a bit on our electric bill. The install was fast and professional and the crew cleaned up so well it was like they were never here. On top of that, we saved several thousand dollars compared to what other companies wanted to charge for lesser windows with an inferior install. Highly recommended!

If you want top notch, reliable service from a window company, this is the company for you! I’ve installed windows in a previous home and it was a nightmare that played out over several months (missing windows, wrong windows, missing screens, water intrusion). Needless to say, I was hesitant and wary this time around. But, my experience could not have been any better with Patriot Windows. From beginning to end, they did right by me and my husband. So grateful for a job well done!
