A popular addition to many home builds and renovations recently has been the addition of large minimalist window systems. Thanks to recent technological developments, manufacturers have been able to minimize the frame that windows need to sit in and maximize the size of the glass. Some manufacturers are now creating glass pieces up to four meters in height.

Benefits of Minimalist Windows

With the sheer size of these windows, designers and architects are now able to design buildings that can maximize views and create the feeling of bringing the outdoors inside. And with motorized opening systems, you can actually open the large portions of the house to the outside.

These windows have reduced the amount of posts and walls needed to create a properly engineered building. They have now even developed techniques where sliding doors can meet in unsupported corners creating stunning design features.

Many accessories and features have been added to these windows including gorgeous, motorized exterior blinds, bug screens, stellar awnings and gas filled windows that change the glass in the window from clear to opaque electronically. The glass also holds a high insulating value.

These windows can weigh well over 1000 lbs each and yet whether motorized or manually opened, even a child can move the doors. This is thanks to superior hardware that not only works amazing but is designed to be used and not seen. With both the threshold and the top rail usually inset to the floor and ceiling, your transition from inside to outside is almost seamless and does not impact your view.

So whether you are thinking of renovating or building new, and have a stunning view, talk to your designer to incorporate minimalist windows into your home improvement project. The world is a big piece of art and with minimalist windows in your home, it will be your center piece.
