How Can Windows Improve Home Ventilation?

There are many factors to consider when deciding which windows should be installed in your home. Apart from crystal clear daylighting benefits, windows are the primary source of natural ventilation in most rooms in a building. In this post, siding contractor Home Pro Exteriors, Inc. focuses on how the right windows improve ventilation in your home.

How Can Windows Improve Home Ventilation

The Role of Climate In Choosing Windows

Factors such as cold, precipitation, extreme heat and humidity can decrease the number of days you are able to let in uncontrolled air. However, if you live in regions with temperate climates, then having operable windows is essential for your home. Natural ventilation is critical in keeping your property in good condition and making sure that there are no risks of structural or health damage.

Minimize Indoor Air Pollution

Not a lot of homeowners are aware that indoor air can be permeated with pollutants. Substances such as paints and plastics emit volatile organic compounds, or VOCs and particulates. In addition, high levels of humidity encourage mold and mildew growth which can trigger allergies and other respiratory problems. If you have ventilating windows, then not only are you keeping your indoor air clean but also avoiding potential cases of costly roof repair.

Improve Natural Home Ventilation

Although there are many different window styles, some are considerably better than others when it comes to home ventilation. Having two openings on opposite sides of a room is always encouraged to improve cross-circulation. One vent will be responsible for letting out warm, stale air while the resulting air pressure draws cool, fresh air inside through the other opening. For a small room, double-hung windows usually work best. Mixing a large picture window with two operable windows (on each side) is also an efficient way to improve home ventilation.

DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
HERE IS WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

When we needed a new roof for our home we were met by Home Pro’s lead man, Dan Lynch, who provided us with a detailed breakdown of what the job entailed and the steps that would be taken to complete it. That breakdown was clear, concise and followed thru with professionalism. Home Pro gave us a quality job at a fair price, and you can’t ask for more.

This is the second time we have used Home Pro Exteriors. First time we had a new roof installed and we were completely satisfied with their work. Clean and efficient. Never know the crew was there! Now we had a new window installed in our bedroom…Wow what a difference! both of the crews that worked on our home were extremely professional. and again you would never know any work was done clean and efficient as usual. We would recommend Home Pro to anyone looking for the very best in exterior work for their home.

My wife and I decided to build a home from the ground up. With all the things we had to worry about we didn’t want finding a reliable contractor to be one of them. We called Home Pro to put up the siding because they offered the product and color we were looking for. Their execution was impeccable and more importantly they were honest and reliable.

I hired Home Pro Exteriors to help us execute several projects on a home renovation show and Joe and his crew were as good as it gets. He was professional, friendly, courteous, and worked effectively and efficiently to get the job done. Not only did Joe help execute ideas, but he built an art studio from scratch and made our clients cry tears of joy. He even designed and custom made draft boards for the artist himself...

We thought redoing our roof would be a nightmare but Home Pro was a dream come true. We really appreciated the time they took to explain what we could expect of the project. Their workers were skilled and a pleasure to deal with. We’re very happy with the finished result and have already recommended Home Pro to others!

We finally decided this was the year to build a patio room off the living room. We called several companies for an estimate, and we are so glad Home Pro was one of them. They listened to our needs and worked with us to build a suitable design. They always came on time, kept the space clean, and finished within the timeline given. We are so happy with our patio room! Thanks guys!
