 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Scott DeWitt is the absolute 100% reason for my review being 5 stars instead of 3. He was a great installer, timely, respectful, genuine, and did the job right. Everything else unrelated to his work wasn’t all that impressive. Thanks Scott for the top tier work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We discovered this company while visiting relatives in Ohio. Since our initial contact to replace two sets of French Doors, the entire process has been exceptional, simple, and the products are of the highest quality (while not the priciest in the market!) No hesitation to recommend this company to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Keith came out to review and quote our project. He was timely and informative. Then Thomas came out to install the windows - he was early (AWESOME), polite, completed the task quickly, and cleaned up after himself. We are happy with our windows too - they look great. We'll definitely work with this team again on our future window projects.

Your home’s windows are not just installed to maintain comfort and reduce your heating and cooling costs. These fixtures can also give your living space the natural lighting it deserves. It is called daylighting, and this architectural concept not only makes your room spacious and bright. In a way, getting enough sunlight while indoors plays a vital role in your overall well-being.

Health Benefits of Natural Light

Exposure to sunlight helps the skin absorb Vitamin D, which is an essential nutrient that lowers the risk of various ailments, particularly in the bones. Opening your curtains every time you wake up in the morning to bring sunlight in allows you to get a healthy dose of said vitamin.

Also, with fall already here, some people can experience serious depression, mainly because there’s not enough sunlight around this time. Utilizing regular and egress windows to let natural light in over the next few months can lower the chances of a disorder called seasonal affective disorder.

Another benefit of daylighting the interior is its correlation to sleep patterns. Mental health and sleep often go hand in hand, which is why it is not surprising for many people, whether at home or in the office, to experience better sleep the more they get exposed to natural light.

Ways to Bring in More Natural Light

Aside from windows, there are other ways where you can maximize sunlight to brighten up your interior. Hang up at least one mirror to reflect sunlight coming from the window and make the room brighter. Also, you may want to consider ditching your existing curtains. With the sun as your “alarm” upon waking up, you can recalibrate your sleep-wake cycles, especially if you are not getting enough sleep at night.
