Apex windows are also known as gable end windows.
An apex is the highest point of something. Hence, apex windows go all the way to the top of the ceiling. Furthermore, they are triangular windows that follow and fit in with the roof structure. More often than not, they flood the room with natural light due to their expansive size.
Usually, apex windows can be found on extensions or dormer bungalows. Moreover, they are stylish and suit any style of home.
How Expensive Are Apex Windows?
Like all windows, the cost of an apex differs depending on the size, style and materials used. Hence, timber and aluminium frames are more expensive. However, PVC frames are considered more cost-effective. Moreover, double glazing is cheaper than triple glazing too.
Advantages Of Apex
- They are stylish and modern
- Increase natural light
- Provide stunning views
Apex windows are a contemporary addition to any home that transforms a gable end into an extraordinary statement piece. Moreover, the expansive glass can create a beautifully lit room and provide spectacular views of the outside.
Disadvantages
- Privacy issues
- Overheating a room
Depending on where your window is situated, an apex window can come with privacy problems. Furthermore, the expansive glass can expose a lot of your home to the outside. However, adding curtains or blinds to the windows can help to solve this problem. Yet, the triangular shape can add difficulties. Moreover, the curtains can also solve the problem of the room overheating in the direct sunlight by providing a shade too.
Where Do They Look Best?
A triangular window like this can look perfect anywhere in the home. However, they look particularly stunning in loft spaces, bedrooms, kitchen extensions and bathrooms. Furthermore, utilising the floor to ceiling look by having large expansive panes doubling as a wall.
