ᐅ Windows & Window Sizes: What to Choose? Double-Hung or Casement Windows?

Curly schrieb:
I wouldn’t make the window (guest bathroom) next to the front door so small and square but rather align it with the sill height of the other large windows. After all, a window should also serve the purpose of letting in enough light. Our guest bathroom window measures 1m x 1.38m (3 ft 3 in x 4 ft 6 in) and it lets in plenty of light.

I don’t think that’s a bad idea either,

I will choose one of the last two views and sleep on it overnight.

Many thanks to everyone

I personally prefer this over the front with the small window, as it also highlights the elongated window better.

I personally prefer this over the facade with the small window, as it also highlights the elongated window better.

This way the elongated window stands out better.

You mean the bathroom window that is then more nicely framed by its neighboring windows? - yes, you could look at it that way. In any case, I would say: put a stamp on the latest version. That one fits.

I would probably choose large, undivided windows unless subdivision is absolutely necessary due to their size (this often applies to floor-to-ceiling windows leading to a terrace, which can be designed as double casement or similar).

And even if you might not want to hear or read this: Please carefully reconsider whether you want to install a central ventilation system. There are many strong reasons in favor and very few against!

Pros:
* Significantly improved indoor air quality
* No mold growth caused by incorrect or missing ventilation
* Ventilation even when the house is unoccupied (during the day when everyone is at work or school, or on vacation)
* Ventilation during bad weather (it’s inconvenient if you come home and can’t open windows on all sides of the building due to rain or thunderstorms – this happens more often in autumn)
* Less dust in the house thanks to the filter system → less frequent dusting
* (Not only) for allergy sufferers: Allergens stay where they belong – outside
* Much less heat energy is lost → lower energy costs throughout the year can at least partially offset the initial installation expenses. With rising energy prices, the annual savings increase even more
* Since windows don’t need to be opened, the little decorative items on the windowsills don’t need to be moved constantly (of course, you can still open the windows if you want; this just temporarily reduces the above-mentioned benefits and is usually only done on appropriate occasions)
* Last but not least: Increased comfort

Cons:
* One-time installation costs (in the lower five-figure range)
* A few extra euros annually for maintenance, such as filter replacement (which is usually something you can do yourself)

If you’re sitting on the toilet by the narrow window, you can lift the pleated blind a bit to see who is bothering at the front door again.

Otherwise, we have been living in our house for 2 years without a ventilation system, and there is no mold and the air quality is good.
