In designing our house, it is vital to know the importance of windows and where to best place them. Most of us think that their main purpose is for the passage of light and for proper ventilation. But other than these, windows serve other purposes, especially the corner ones. Serenis houses are specially designed with corner windows. This is in fulfilling our promise in bringing you “Beyond Green Tropical Living.”

Save electric bills through natural light

Even during daytime, most of us turn on the lights inside our house, just because it is too dark to read a book or do household chores. Corner windows allow more light in, unlike the conventional window which lies flat on the wall. Before placing the windows, make sure to identify strategic areas in your home. In a country with a tropical climate just like Philippines, it is also important to consider the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC). SHGC measures how well the product blocks heat caused by sunlight. So the higher the SHGC, the more suitable it is for tropical countries.

 

Modern design

If you want your room to look more stylish and more attractive, a corner window is a good option. Say goodbye to conventional window-types! Whether you like the corner windows framed or not, the key is to match it with the overall theme of your room. But for those who really want to have an incessant view of the outside, the frameless ones are your best option.

Enjoy the view!

This is really a bonus especially to those who want to meditate in their rooms. Corner windows are a great way to keep in touch with the surroundings and be one with nature. Compared to conventional window types, these give you an uninterrupted scene of the outside. You can opt to place a couch or your favorite chair― perfect for those who want to read a good book while sipping hot chocolate on a rainy weather.
