Attic Windows

Homeowners love to store things in their attic but dredd the trip upstairs to fetch the stuff they've so neatly packed away. This really has nothing to do with why they're considering adding an attic window to their home; the real reason stems from a desire to add more curb appeal to their home.

Other than looks, why would I need to have windows installed in my attic and what special features should they have if any?

In reference to why you should get an attic window other than for looks, there really are no good reasons other than just to lighten up the space. Attics are meant to perform a function that windows don't help. Again, looks are the driving force behind adding attic windows. Here are some of the top reasons for adding an attic window.

The design of some homes creates a relatively dead roof area on the front of the house. One way to spice up the area is to add dormers to imply that the home has an additional floor, even though it's actually attic space.
If you would like to have more natural lighting in your attic, installing a window will work great but make sure it's energy efficient and it helps to have the glass tinted to help prevent excessive heat gain.
You want more curb appeal on a otherwise plain wall and the gable area looks to be the perfect spot. Make sure you refer to statement above in this case.

Installing an attic window can vastly improve the looks of your home, but make sure it's thermal efficiency is good to prevent over heating.

Selecting the right window for the job is crutial when it comes to attics. Our staff can help you choose the best window with the proper energy efficiency ratings so you don't have to worry about excessive heat in your attic.

Here are a few more of the main considerations you should take into account when choosing attic windows.

Heat Build-up - Windows allow lots of sunlight into a space. Choosing windows without the right features can create a greenhouse effect in your attic that could result in over heating.

Periodic Check-ups - Attic windows are in a sense, out of site, out of mind and can cause huge problems if not checked periodically. So make sure the attic windows you select don't require any upkeep or maintenance.
