Garden Style Kitchen Windows

The Garden Window is growing in popularity for a Kitchen Window. These windows extend out approximately 18 inches past the wall giving the homeowner extra space and depth perception. The home garden window also increases your energy efficiency with dual or triple glazing options. They come with casement windows as the vents on the side and picture windows in the middle and roof sections. These are usually a vinyl replacement window with a few different color options available. The seat and side profile is commonly birch or oak veneer. The kitchen garden window is a great option for simultaneously increasing space while decreasing fuel bills.

Another great kitchen window idea would be installing a bay window. You need a minimum of 48 inches in width for most manufacturers to make this window. The kitchen bay window similarly uses a birch or oak veneer seat and side while extending out approximately 24 inches. The side vents can be either casement windows or double hung replacement windows. The middle window is standard as a picture window. The bay windows usually have a 45 or 33-degree angle. They have to be finished off on the exterior with a roof.

The final selection for kitchen windows is the double hung or casement windows. The double hung is usually installed over the sink like garden windows. These window slide up and down for ventilation and tilt in for cleaning. Conversely, the casement window cranks out to 90 degrees for air and the homeowner can clean by sticking their hand out on either side of window. The screens are on the inside of the casement window while the double hung has the screen on the outside.
