19 Jun The Many Benefits of Natural Light
One of the best things about windows is how they bring natural light into the room. Brightening the area without feeling the heat from the sun is what makes our windows great. However, what you may not know is that natural light brings with it several other benefits. Learn about the power of natural light from our experts at Renewal by Andersen® of Central Florida.
Good for Your Money
The best workplaces and homes have large windows that bring in lots of light. You’ve seen the beauty of high-end residences with picture windows. This is because the view is unobstructed and wide. It also helps make your home feel brighter.
It also means you save more money on energy costs. With natural light, you get good lighting without using too much electricity. Less electrical use means fewer expenses.
Good for Your Health
One of the best installments for bedrooms is a casement window. By adding one near your bedside, you bring light and luxury to your room. Who doesn’t like waking up to a view awash with natural sunlight?
What you might not realize is how much this can affect your health. The daylight in your room helps energize you and wake you up during the day. It reinforces your circadian rhythm–the sleep-wake cycle–and refreshes your senses.
Good for Your Productivity
If you ask any employee in a well-lit workplace, they’ll probably tell you that they’re happy with their workplace. Classrooms and offices with good daylight boost the positive thinking and mood of the room’s occupants. Students and workers with a sliding window that brightens up the room are more likely to perform well.
Ideal Window Types
Our contractors all offer the window types mentioned throughout this post, especially since they are the best at bringing in natural light. Casements are easy to operate and energy-efficient. Sliders are smooth in operation and give your home a contemporary feel. Picture windows are better for views rather than ventilation. However, all of these windows have unobstructed glass because they lack sashes. This makes it easier to bring in as much sunlight as possible.
At Renewal by Andersen, we offer all types of windows with High-Performance™ Low-E4® Glass, perfect for letting in sunlight without the heat. Call us today at (407) 512-5504 to schedule a free in-home consultation. We serve Orlando, Florida and nearby areas.
