Arches Aren't Just For Churches, Add Style To Your Home With Arched Windows
Can you imagine a home without windows? What a bleak and depressing thought! Windows not only serve the important purpose of supplying light to our lives, but they also bring ventilation, energy efficiency, and design to our domains.
Just installing windows on your house is not enough in itself. You must choose the right quality, locations, and designs to reap the full benefits of the investment. Installation is also important. A window can do more harm than good if it is not properly installed. Leaky, drafty windows will hurt your energy bills and lead to insect infiltration, mold and mildew problems.
Where can arched windows be used?
If you want to bring some style to your window design, the arched window has long been a favorite. As demonstrated in these pictures, arched windows can be used in many locations in a house. Use one as a stunning picture window. Bring captivating design to the front of a building, or bring distinct style to every room in the house.
What type of windows can have an arched top?
Pretty much any type of window can be custom built with an arched top. Choose from casement windows, picture windows, fixed pane windows, and storm windows.
Where can I find arched windows, and how much will it cost me?
Most of the leading manufacturers of windows produce an arched top option. Andersen Window Company offers an arched-top window with Low E4 glass for about $1300. Other examples include these design options offered by the Pella Window Company: Special Shapes Windows.
Arched windows require special skill in the installation. The contractor will need to frame in the opening to accommodate the arched design, being sure to install the proper support. He/she should also carefully caulk and seal the arch to create a strong moisture and air barrier.
