In the master bedroom, another long picture window offers a panoramic view, and there are oversized windows in the other bed- rooms — children no longer have to stand on tiptoe to look out their windows, thanks to improved energy efficiency that supports a trend toward larger windows in every room. “Clients are looking for windows that are made of materials that are maintenance free, and (they) are concerned about long-term energy savings,” Vassallo says, adding triple- pane windows with sunblock protection are becoming the norm in KDR houses. “The benefits are obvious — the client spends a little more money upfront, but the savings in home maintenance and window upkeep, not to mention reduced hydro bills, quickly add up to cost savings.” With more efficient options that alleviate concerns about heating or cooling loss, mul- tiple-paned and oversized windows let the sun shine in, creating bright, airy spaces and making living areas feel larger.
