What Are the Benefits of a Window Backsplash?
Using a window backsplash can make your kitchen appear bigger as glass creates an illusion of space. This type of backsplash is ideal for those who have smaller kitchens. The see-through glass can prevent your kitchen from looking and feeling cramped.
A window backsplash will also allow you to watch your kids while they are playing outside or in your yard. You can prepare and cook meals and look over them at the same time. Of course, windows can help illuminate your space. Natural light can help make your space fresher and it also helps improve your mood. Moreover, with operable replacement windows, you can improve ventilation in your kitchen. It will allow humid air escape and fresh air to enter.
Things to Consider Â
Keep in mind that creating a new opening is necessary if you don’t have an existing one in your kitchen, which can add to your remodeling costs. When choosing windows, you have the choice between operable and stationary styles. Operable windows, like casements, can improve ventilation. On the other hand, stationary models, such as picture windows give you expansive views but may not help with ventilation.
One more thing you need to consider when getting a window backsplash is orientation. Think twice about getting south-facing windows as they tend to receive direct sunlight, which can cause glare and discomfort. It’s the same for east-facing windows, which usually receives direct sun exposure in the morning. Meanwhile, you can get balanced natural lighting from north-facing windows.
