One thing people love about the window manufacturers we work with for energy-efficient replacement windows is the availability of creating a unique look for their homes. Rather than go into a big-box store and pick standard styles off the racks, they can order windows that are custom-made or have options to produce one-of-a-kind looks that fit their taste and their home style. In this post we’d like to talk about a window style that gets very little notice – the 90º corner.
More and more the trend is to open up rooms to natural light as much as possible. There are multiple ways to do that:
There are two basic styles of corner window: one that is a solid piece of glass, or one that has two windows with a narrow strip of mulling at the corner. Both Marvin and Weather Shield offer this type of window. They are generally less expensive than the ‘cornerless’ wraparound window. Here are a few examples:
This living room combination is from Weather Shield’s Contemporary Collection (aluminum-clad wood). The narrow mullion in the corner is very slim and almost not noticeable. No visible distraction, more light. And note the almost floor-to-ceiling oversized windows. It’s visual appearance is almost a solid open wall of glass. Imagine the dramatic impact with the right view!
Marvin also offers corner windows with slim mullions. Here’s a look that’s equally dramatic but based on a different window combination. Multiple slim-frame windows from Marvin’s ‘Ultimate’ line are installed together, with the black frames creating a distinctive contrast. You still get plenty of glass and light because of the slim frames:
