When you are getting new windows for your home in Pompano Beach, FL, there are a lot of questions you will need to answer. Do you want vinyl materials? Do you want impact resistant glass? Should the glass have a low-e coating? Do you want to fill the panes with argon or krypton gas? And so on and so forth. But there are a lot of little details that affect the aesthetics of the windows, too. What style windows do you want? What color should they feature? Do you want grids in them? Sometimes, the bigger decisions are easier. It’s the little things that trip you up! When you are looking at home windows in Pompano Beach and you’re wondering if you want grids or not, take these items into consideration.
Neighbors’ Homes
You don’t always need to have just what your neighbors have. In fact, it’s hard to “Keep up with the Joneses,” Right? But you will want to consider what’s standard and accepted in your neighborhood. If absolutely everyone has grids on their windows, you might not want to be the only house without them. On the other hand, if having a clean, clear view without the grids is more the norm, that may sway your decision as well.
Home Style
Consider your home’s style when you think about whether or not you want grids. Look at pictures online and see what kind of windows fit in best with that style. You can also drive around your area, looking for other homes like yours. If you have a colonial home, for example, most of those homes have windows with grids in them.
Curb Appeal or Vision?
You want your home to have a good curb appeal, of course, and sometimes grids can give it that. However, you also may want to be able to see out of your windows well. Consider your view. Is it something you want to see in all its glory? Or is it okay to break it up into sections with grids? You don’t need to have grids on every window, either. Perhaps the view from the back of the house is better. Leave those windows open while placing grids on the front of the house for aesthetics.
