Surprisingly, many people don’t realize the large role windows and doors play in high-end architectural design. Homeowners tend to focus more on functionality and energy efficiency over aesthetics. But why compromise when you can have both?
Take decorative glass windows that combine attractive designs made from clear beveled glass and caming; the metal banding that connects the individual segments with privacy glass panels.
If you make the right choice, you will transform your curb appeal the instant you have them installed.
These decorative glass windows are available across various window styles, catering to different architectural designs. For instance, vinyl garden windows from Provia provide custom options for size, color, and glass.
The Shape Of Things To Come
Architectural innovation is the order of the day. Arch windows, bay windows or eyebrow windows with an eye-catching curved shape will add visual interest to your roof and home.
Eyebrow windows have a long history, dating back to medieval times when they were used on thatched-roof cottages. They became popular in America in the late 19th century, after architect Henry Hobson Richardson designed many buildings in the Richardson Romanesque style, featuring eyebrow windows.
You can get inspired by those designs and let Provia’s eyebrow windows bring visual interest to your home. These eyebrow windows are available in two styles: full eyebrow and extended eyebrow. Full eyebrow windows are half-round windows that have a flat bottom and a curved top. Extended eye-brow windows have a flat bottom, taller on the sides, and curved on the top.
Both styles can be fixed or operable, depending on design and function. Explore the distinctions here.
Keep Your Eye On The Architectural Design Trends
Provia’s eyebrow windows are part of the Aeris, Endure, Aspect, and EcoLite window brands. They come with a variety of options, such as decorative or stained glass, privacy glass, tinted glass, and interior grids.
Eyebrow windows enhance the appearance and character of a building, creating a cozy space inside while adding a distinctive style to the outside. They can complement various styles of homes, such as Spanish, Tudor, Victorian, or modern.
You Get What You Pay For
Just be aware that they are difficult to install and match to existing windows and the architectural design and style of your home. They require custom-made windows, complex framing, and careful roofing by a talented team of professionals with high standards.
All these custom window shapes can be used alone as a single focal point or in combination with other windows to create a show-stopping view of your home; complementing its unique style while allowing more natural light to brighten up the space.
Combining Aesthetics and Functionality
The best part is you don’t need to compromise on style or efficiency. ProVia’s high-quality, energy-efficient windows have been integrated into various homes, catering to different phases of families’ life cycles and offering stunning energy efficiency, a wide range of color and glass options, and sturdy construction.
Whether starting a family, raising kids, or enjoying your empty nest, windows are a game changer. Even if you are less concerned with reducing your carbon footprint than saving money on energy bills and increasing your home’s value, it may be time for a change.
With a wide range of color and glass options, you can customize your windows to perfectly complement your home’s design. Plus, Provia’s sturdy construction means that your windows will stand the test of time, providing you with lasting value and performance.
