(210) 796-9574A garden window is also called a greenhouse window or box window. It is a three-dimensional window that projects outward from the wall, with glass on the front, sides and usually the top, plus a shelf for plants or display. Many garden windows include operable side vents so you can let fresh air in.
Garden windows are a good idea for kitchens and other spots where you want more light, a sunny shelf for herbs or plants and a feeling of extra space. The trade-offs are more glass exposed to sun and heat and a projection that needs exterior clearance. Low-E glass and a careful installation keep them comfortable in South Texas.
Garden windows cost more than flat windows because each one is a projecting box with glass on several sides, a shelf, a roof panel and often operable vents. They also take more installation work, including support and weatherproofing where the unit extends beyond the wall. Size, materials and glass package drive the final price of a garden window.
A garden window is installed by removing the old window, preparing the opening, setting the projecting unit and fastening it securely to the wall framing. The installer then seals and flashes the top and sides so water drains away and finishes the interior trim. Because the unit extends outward, exterior clearance is checked before ordering. Our San Antonio team handles the measuring and fit.
Clean a garden window with mild soap and water, wiping the shelf and the inside of the side and top glass where moisture from plants collects. Check the seals and caulking each season, keep the vent hardware clean and wipe away condensation so it does not sit on the frame. Good airflow around plants helps limit humidity inside the unit.
At a free in-home visit we check the opening against the 2050 size ranges, go over shelf, light and seat board options and note the dimensions.
Tell us which way the kitchen window faces, since sun exposure shapes what grows well, and we will ring you to pick a day.
