Whether you’re picking out windows for a new construction home, chipping away at replacing your windows a few at a time, or replacing windows in the context of a remodel, here are some questions to consider:

• What’s the function of the room? How does that impact your needs for privacy, security, sound reduction, and more?
• Does the cardinal direction the windows face offer a particular opportunity? 

And, of course, individual rooms are a part of the whole home, so think about:

• What’s your home’s style? Are you sticking to that style or are you striving for something new? Perhaps something more contemporary, traditional, or maybe transitional (a blend of both)?
• How does your home’s location affect your needs? Do you need UV protection? Coastal protection? Or, do you need to meet energy efficiency standards? 

When you consider these questions, you can make window choices that improve the way you use your space and the way you feel when you’re in that space.
