Simonton Corner Windows: How to Naturally Light Dark Corners

A well-lit room isn’t just more inviting, it can also foster a greater sense of well-being. If your home has one or more rooms that could use a little more natural light, Simonton corner windows just might be the perfect solution. Beautiful and energy-efficient, they can transform your home into a light-filled retreat.

The Ins and Outs of Corner Windows

Corner windows, as their name implies, occupy the corner of a room. The wall’s framing is modified to wrap around the window opening; sometimes people opt to remove the corner post to create an all-glass opening. There are many benefits to choosing Simonton corner windows for your home:

• They afford stunning 90-degree views of the outdoors.
• You can select a symmetrical or asymmetrical design depending on your personal style.
• They create a sense of space and openness in cramped areas.

A style of corner windows called clerestories, or windows that are well above eye level, are an excellent choice in bathrooms and other rooms where more privacy is desired.

Light up the Room

Simonton corner windows not only light up dark crannies, they also help you save on energy. There are plenty of innovative ways to use them:

• Corner window backsplashes in the kitchen turn an underutilized area into a source of abundant light.
• Replace solid walls in a dining room with two box-style bay units to give the illusion of dining outdoors.
• Create a conducive space for work or study by placing a desk in front of them.

Or you can forego the furniture option and use the well-lit area to provide hours of daylight to gorgeous flowers and greenery.
