Garden Windows Explained: Benefits, Installation, and Design Tips for Your Home

hey guys Shan with American Window Concepts and today let's talk a little bit more about a garden window and is it right for you okay so we do have uh lots of customers here in the area that have Windows in their kitchen right over their sink they have good exposure for the Sun and they're like you know what would be cool is if we had a window where we could put some little plants and this is the window for it obviously it's called a garden window and you may have one in your house now and maybe want to replace it um or you just don't have one and and you'd like to have one these windows here there is in my opinion no retro style available for it now they will say yeah we can do it in a retro style I'm just completely opposed to it because of the weight of these things now this is a little guy this isn't all that big so I would be less apprehensive about making a a retro style out of this but I am the player of always going new construction we're either breaking stucco or we're pulling siding but this I want this flange to go on the 2x4s 2x6s whatever is holding your house up I keep saying sync because that's a lot of times where we see these because a lot of times you're washing your dishes or doing whatever and you got little plants or you got trinkets or whatever and I don't know it just makes you feel good who knows but you can put these pretty much wherever you want these things are a great option right I wouldn't want somebody trying to pin this thing into my house as a retro style like we would with single sliders or single hungs or casements or anything like that again because the weight I don't trust it I want to make sure that that this thing is pinned on your 2x4s and it's going to maintain sturdy it's not going to just fall out or start to separate at the top and the cocking gets exposed and then all of a sudden we have an issue with leaking I don't want any of that but these things are gorgeous right now you can get this style Garden window from Anin and or milguard they both use the same frames and it's from True frame so whether you get an Anin one or you were to get a milguard this is what you're going to be looking at soft bullnose edges you're going to have single hung operations so you just go to the inside there's a little lock here there you go and that's on both sides you got this side and that side get a little air flow in there right plants like you know moisture in the air so give it to them you have a picture window on the top trapezoids on the side picture window in the front super easy when you spin this little guy now what's cool about this is you can get the option to have a glass shelf or you can get a wire shelf I am of the mindset that the glass shelf is probably the most pretty way to go if you're going to get a shelf in side and the reason I say that is because you can get it with no Shelf at all and you can make it so that way the brackets themselves here that actually hold and you can adjust the Shelf you can have it so that way these are not on your garden window so you receive it and it's just vinyl you have your your bottom and that's it these things are really really cool because they project out 16 in just on the inside and it looks really really good it extends out how the kitchen feels or wherever this window is it it helps add a little something a little Dimension so hopefully that answers any questions you may have um or your thoughts about the little garden window maybe you didn't know you could get one you absolutely can and it's an option so think about it all right guys make it a great day hey guys if you live in the Ventura or Long Beach area and are interested in a free in home estimate go to our website American window concepts.com and we'll reach back out to you as soon as possible if you guys find this information valuable and you want to continue to learn more about Windows and Doors subscribe to our Channel thank you so much
