CHOOSE THE CORRECT GLASS WINDOWS FOR YOUR HOUSE STORY HANEEN AL LAWATI

ne of the most important things you should know when building a home, is the type of glass you use for your windows. Some people don’t pay attention or think that it doesn’t matter which type of glass to choose but it does because some types are suitable for cold weather and others are suitable for hot weather. Here are some types of windows for a suitable home:

INSULATED WINDOWS This type is the best choice to save energy in which it keeps the house cooler in summer days and warmer in cold season. Insulated window comes in different shapes; either, doubled or triple panned. They are the appropriate selection to prevent heat, cold, and noise from outdoors. HEAT ABSORBING TINTED GLASS Want to keep your house away from heat? Heat absorbing glass is the solution. They are known only for two colours, grey, and bronze. Definitely, they play a great role in minimising the amount of heat and light that can cross through the window. IMPACT – RESISTANT GLASS If your home is located at hurricane areas and tornadoes, go for this type of windows. It is characterised with an adorable design that gives a special look for a home. Considering its benefits, it is used to protect the glass from being affected by a high range of hurricane and adding a unique surface of security from burglars. REFLECTIVE GLASS High and excessive temperatures influence the surroundings negatively. Here is the solution with the reflective glass. It can provide an atmosphere of a cooler weather in your house and prevent heat from crossing inside. (LOW E) GLASS What makes this type special that it allows a small amount of heat to enter your home in which it reflects the sun heat away during summer and reflect back in winter. Really it adds a great view to your house if you keep in mind designing it in this way. —lifestyle@timesofoman.com

BEST BULBS FOR YOUR HOME STORY HANEEN AL LAWATI

ights are essential to reﬂect the beauty of every area in your home. The suitable lighting makes you feel more relaxed and comfortable in the place you are sitting, whether you’re reading, studying, writing, or doing something. In other words, lights have an impact on the human being as it can make everything look much better or much worse. So how do we know which colour is suitable for which room? Generally, we have three types of lighting. General lighting which is used to lighten the whole room, task lighting which is used to help you do your work and is used in reading areas mostly. Lastly, is the accent lighting which is used to highlight a particular area; for example, which has a piece of art. Here’re some tips to choosing the perfect lighting. STEP 1: WHAT IS THE ROOM FUNCTION? Choosing the perfect lays entirely on the function of the room so go around your home, ﬁgure out where you want to put the lights and for what reason. If you’re working on

your living room, then try to put general lighting but then add an accent lighting to highlight a piece of art you own. Highlighting a speciﬁc area in the living room can attract visitors to concentrate on that particular area or that particular piece of work. Moving on to your bedroom, one of the essentials is a task lighting on your nightstand to help you read or work in your room more easily. For bathrooms, you will also need a task light to lighten up the mirror. These are some suggestions but you can always change them if you’re room’s function is different. STEP 2: CHOOSE THE RIGHT BULBS We have different types of bulbs as we’ve mentioned in one of our articles before, incandescent, compact fluorescent bulbs, LEDs, and halogen. However, let’s focus on brightness and light appearance in this article. Of course, the brightness of the bulbs depend on the size of the room and the colour of your walls. Generally, people use soft white or warm white colour for bedrooms and living rooms making them more cosy. Bright white or cool white are used mostly in kitchens, bathrooms and

garages to make the feel more energetic. The last type is called “daylight” and its suitable for bathrooms too or basements and it helps you in reading or working or even putting makeup on. STEP 3: PICK YOUR FIXTURES Here are some types of fixtures and where to use them: 1. Ceiling mount fixtures: These fixtures are ideal in hallways, bedrooms, task areas or stairways. 2. Chandeliers: They’re used for general lighting in most cases therefore they’re best suitable in dining rooms or bedrooms. 3. Wall-mounted fixtures: This type can be used for general, task or accent lighting depending on where you place them in a room. 4. Pendant lighting: These lights hang from the ceiling so they work best over dining tables, countertops or any other work area. These are some examples but there’re different types of lighting other than the mentioned above. —lifestyle@timesofoman.com
