Materials which to choose?
There are several types of window materials that have their own good points and downsides.
The noble wooden window is a classic example. The wood is soft, it’s elegant, it is a little rustic and, more importantly, durable and environmentally friendly. The downsides? Its price tends to be very high and the frames are usually thicker, thus a there is a loss in light penetration.
Modern PVC windows are very common these days. Less noble than wood, but also much more economical, PVC offers lots of colors to complement your interior.
Finally, aluminium frames are still quite rare, but are very high in quality in insulating ability, durability and aesthetics. Aluminum windows and the return of wooden frames are the next trends to come.
And for a brighter kitchen, do not hesitate to increase the openings to the outside and replace your heavy timber doors with glass doors.
Hint: Place a mirror in front of one of your windows to optimize maximum light.
