Help needed in window styles.

TanyaDoyle

We are planning to renovate our family villa, which now is in my name and I want it to move in here. The place will be my home and also my work space. We have a drawing room and a smoking room adjacent to it, so I'm thinking of partitioning it as if one can be used as family or drawing room and the other portion to be the guest or client meeting room. The idea of the meeting room is to have two sides mostly an open type, maybe like one side with big high profile fixed window through which one can view the lawn and the room will get good natural light, and the other side also has a bay & bow model windows. One side of the room will be just the wall with good crafts enhancing the view, and this wall will be the one exactly opposite to the large window. Now I'm confused about the type of glass I should select. The windows are from Clera Ontario and they have these glass types: http://www.clerawindows.com/windows/glass/ and a better choice from the lot will be of great help.

If it's optics you're concerned with, I'm wondering if there an opportunity to view samples of these in person in a showroom or store? I find their website a little confusing and the photos not illustrative or large-scale enough to be able to envision in a space. My husband and I are currently undergoing extensive renovations on a home too, and we are finding that sometimes even when we think we've made up our minds, seeing something in person can change our selection. An example of this happened last weekend with flooring, and will likely happen this weekend when we pick out our counter tops.

So many vinyl windows come up in really good styles.

You might benefit from the advice of an interior designer.  It is worth paying for the advice and have the final results to your satisfaction - and not be disappointed after spending for costly windows.

Many designers will do  a charge  by the hour for advice only -- call around and talk with them and see if you can find one that you are comfortable working with.

A window dealer will try to sell you their windows of course - an hourly fee designer you are paying for their time and advice and not the specific product.
