Helpful Information
Thinking of altering your bedroom
but we bet you didn't think of this!
It is important to decide where you
would like natural lighting to shine
into your room. Nothing is more
worse than having a bedroom
that is cold and damp.
Find out where you would like to
position your bed and look into
allowing sunlight to shine upon
that area. If only half of the
bedroom ever receives light from
the sun, a good idea is to put a
big window on that one side only,
if it doesn't already exist. Avoid
windows that have too many
designs that get in the way, that
will be discussed in the windows
section.
Amazing Facts
Sunlight is extremely good for
your skin as it helps your body
to create vitamin D. This vitamin
is important because
it regulates the absorption of
calcium resulting in stronger
bones and aids in cell to cell
communication throughout our
body - Our nervous system
relies on this communication
in order to operate efficiently.
In addition, heat removes
moisture and bad bacteria that
grow in damp areas. Naturally
creating a healthier environment
for youself.

Wood
Softwood windows are cost
effective but need to be
protected by a natural wood
finish or paint. As the wood
is tender it requires regular
maintenance.
Hardwood on the other hand
is expensive but is more
durable and only needs
the protection of oil. Choose
wooden windows if you don't
want to spend too much money.
Vinyl
Double-glazed (two sheets of
glass) vinyl windows
are excellent at insulating
heat and sound. If your
room allows a lot of sunlight
through but you don't want
the heat to be too strong, this
is a good option. Also it will
keep all that unwanted traffic
noise and all your drunk
neighbours from affecting
your sleep. They come in
many different colours and
require little maintenance.
Aluminum
This option is excellent if you
require maximum light into
your room because the frames
are small. Since aluminum
has incredible strength it is
capable of supporting a large
expanse of glass. However,
this material conducts heat
out of your home so double-
glazing may be required to
reduce heat loss. These
windows are durable and
require low-maintenance.
Amazing Facts
By the mid 16th century many
wealthy households had
glass windows. Glass windows
were such a precious commodity,
owners would have the glass put
away safely when they were
absent.
This is only a basic guide,
you can get customised
windows with a mixture of
wood, aluminum and vinyl.
