Choose the right window for your child’s bedroom
Very often, parents are spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing the best window style for their kids’ bedrooms. Obviously, the windows need to match with those already in the rest of the house, but each variety of design can have subtle variations that will make a big difference to the way the kids use the room.
Unique considerations
Here are some of the major areas that you need to think about before committing to your window style for kids’ bedrooms.
If you have young children, make sure that all windows have locks and that they are not able to open the windows themselves, with or without the key. Go for a style of window with openings out of reach. Any keys should be kept in a safe place for adults only to access. Make sure you know where the keys are in case there’s an emergency.
All children need their room to be warm, but also well ventilated. Make sure that beds are situated away from open windows. If you’re planning an extension, this is a crucial design point to bear in mind.
In terms of the individual shape, you are a little bit limited as you do not really want different windows in just the children’s part of the house. However, when choosing windows, if you do have children then go for something unfussy which is easy to clean and to remove grubby little finger marks from.
Finally, pay attention to the way the windows open. Some glazing opens at the bottom, and this is obviously a safety hazard for younger children who may climb onto the window sill. The safest option is glazing that opens at the top or the side, possibly fitted with a retaining device to stop the window opening all the way.
