Windows that Allow the Most Natural Light into a Room 

When you set up your home office, you might not have given a lot of thought to your windows, but they can make a big difference. Marvin Replacement has a wide selection of windows that will fit perfectly into a home office to maximize natural light. 

Invite More Light in with Large Vertical Single Hung or Double Hung windows 

Single hung and double hung windows can provide large vertical views and natural light. Marvin Replacement’s Ultrex® fiberglass doesn’t use as much material as other window frames to provide bigger views with thinner frames.

Windows that Provide Panoramic Views: Sliders 

Slider windows can give your home office more of a panoramic view and natural sunlight. Sliders also work great in outdoor areas where landscaping can get in the way of other windows.    

Just in Case: Squeeze in a Casement Window 

Casement windows are known for their ability to fit into tight spaces and they fit in well in home offices, too. Casement windows can have a similar shape to single hung and double hung but you can open casement windows completely for breezes.  

Combine with Special Shapes 

If you have the space for additional windows, adding special shape windows above double hung, single hung, or casement windows can fill your home office with additional light.
