When it comes to upgrading the appearance of your home, you might consider a transformation to a new and improved accent window. While looking through all of the different options, we recommend that you don’t ignore the benefits that can come with accent windows. These windows, whether they are garden, wood octagon, poly octagon, oval, or round windows, are a unique design element that can truly give the aesthetic of your home a healthy boost.
When you decide to incorporate accent windows into your home, you can enjoy a design feature that helps to accentuate your property as well as enjoy more natural light. Some examples of the benefits you can expect include:
Garden Windows – A perfect option for letting natural light into your home while also giving you a place to display your indoor plants.
Octagon Windows – An attractive addition to your home that looks great above exterior doors or on either side of a fireplace. These windows add elegance along with a unique style beyond the standard square or rectangular house windows.
Round Windows – Provide an undeniable “wow” factor to your home and also the savings of energy efficiency. Perfect for transforming spaces from run-of-the-mill to one-of-a-kind.
Octagon windows are a shining star in the world of accent windows. They are unique in style and function but like anything else, they may need to be updated. If your wood octagon window has experienced some sort of decay, you should replace it to avoid further damage to the wall.
To help keep costs down, explore all of your options for replacing the window. Research different window manufacturers to find a trustworthy supplier with fair prices. Be sure to also consider shipping costs, if any, in your totals. Keep in mind that different types of glass (and other clear materials) are available at various price points.
However, remember that your home’s windows are an investment, and ultimately you get what you pay for.
For the installation, you have two options: hiring a professional or doing it yourself. The main benefit of hiring a professional is that you can rest assured the window will be installed correctly without leaks that increase your energy bills. However, if it’s more important to you to save money upfront, you can always tackle the project yourself.
New replacement windows will have installation instructions to guide you through the installation process. There are also many resources online for tips on how to make the process of removal and installation go smoothly. Take the time to research what tools you will need and what replacement materials will be required before beginning the job. This will help with budgeting cost and time spent to complete your project.
