5 Types of Living Room Windows


While choosing the timber windows for your living room, you do not have to select the same windows as are installed in the other rooms of the house. If you reside in Sydney, you will find various types of timber windows available in Sydney to choose from to enhance the interiors of your living room. Here are some popular window types:

Casement Windows

Hinged on the side and open outward, casement windows are the most common windows used in living rooms. These are usually glass panelled, but you can also find these windows with wooden panelling in Sydney and Newcastle like cities. Casement windows are used to provide top-to-bottom ventilation.


Paladian Windows
A Paladian window has a central arch over three sets of windows. It is suitable for the living rooms that have renaissance architecture in classical and traditional style. Paladian timber windows in Sydney and such cities are known for providing certain visual drama to the living room from the interiors as well as exteriors.


Sliding Windows

Sliding window is made up of two or more sashes that slide horizontally. It is an ideal solution for living rooms that have narrow spaces and have not much space on the outer side to open windows (for example, in buildings closely set next to each other).


Bay Windows
Bay windows are excellent addition to any living room style. These windows are projecting outward from the building. Bay windows offer excellent ventilation and lighting along with an excellent view from multiple directions. Moreover, these windows make the living room more spacious.


Double Hung Windows
Also known as sash windows, double hung timber windows in Sydney or other cities have two panels that slide up and down. These are widely preferred for living rooms because of their unique styles and excellent ventilation capability. Suitable for kids, these windows are also used for bedrooms and kitchens.
