Energy Efficient Windows
Energy efficiency is at the forefront of modern home design, driven by both environmental concerns and the desire to reduce utility bills. Energy-efficient windows play a significant role in maintaining a home’s thermal comfort by minimising heat loss in the winter and reducing heat gain in the summer. These windows have a couple of significant features.
They often have low emissivity glass which is a coating on the window glass that reduces the amount of infrared and light that passes through without compromising levels of visible light. This stops your home overheating and less damage can be caused to your skin.
Double and triple glazing is also a way of enhancing your energy efficiency which often comes with modern windows. Thermal breaks are materials inserted into the window frame that significantly reduce thermal transfer, enhancing the window’s insulating properties.
Smart Windows
In this day and age, there’s a ‘smart’ option for everything which comes with a level of perceived class and sophistication which is why they’re a sound choice for modern homes. Embracing this technology means you can integrate your windows with other systems or simply have voice control windows or remote control powered ones.
Change the level of tint on the window, open and close then, turn on lighting around the frame and more. This brings convenience, energy savings, enhanced privacy and more in terms of benefits.
Privacy Solutions
Another trend on modern homes is the windows that offer advanced privacy solutions. With lots of new build developments often overlooking each other, or the modern home owner seeking more privacy in general, it’s no wonder these sorts of windows are becoming a fix for this problem.
Whether it’s frosted glass, tinted glass, window films, smart glass or something else, there’s something for all privacy conscious property owners. This also means you add some performance to your window without changing the whole unit which is another bonus. We anticipate that this trend will continue for years to come and that there will be even more options available on the market soon.
Soundproof Windows
Noise pollution is a growing concern, particularly in urban areas. Soundproof windows, often achieved through double or triple glazing, are becoming increasingly popular. Double and triple glazing are able to block noise significantly because they’re built with more layers of glass which act as barriers. Lots of modern homes come with double glazing as standard.
Laminated glass is another excellent way of soundproofing your home more than single glazing for example. This type of glass has an interlayer of plastic that not only improves sound insulation but also increases security by making the glass harder to break.
Casement Style Windows
Casement windows have always been a classic in terms of design but they’ve evolved to include modern materials thus appealing to modern needs. With so many casement windows designs, it was an obvious move to take this and construct it from material that will add better ventilation, enhanced energy efficiency, unobstructed views and more.
Casement style windows are popular because they suit many different households and the better performance means they’re now trending on modern homes.
Sash Style Windows
Sash windows are characterised by one or more movable panels that form a frame to hold panes of glass. They’re always described as timeless and versatile so having the choice of sash windows in modern materials has taken off in modern homes.
Sash windows are stunning to look at and come in lots of styles and colours. We’d argue that modern houses have better options for customisation so this is a big plus in itself.
Finally, in a modern, fast paced world, sash windows are really convenient to clean and don’t require much maintenance if you get them in uPVC.
