Living Room Windows
The living room might be the place where you go at the end of the day to curl up with a book or your phone. It might also be the place where you host Sunday football games or book club.

Kitchen Windows
Kitchen Windows - We make the most of the space to bring light and fresh air into the center of your home. It is difficult to install windows in kitchens because hoods, cabinets, etc. occupy the walls. However, the important function of windows is to exhaust steam and cooking odors and allow fresh air to enter the room. Importantly, windows bring cozy natural light into this so important room.
Dining Room Windows

Condensation from showering and the cleaning products needed to keep the space clean mean there's a good reason to opt for an openable bathroom window. Bathroom windows prioritize water misting, followed by concealment and privacy.
