It’s almost a miracle when a concept for health and well-being suddenly swells into popularity and the very thing needed to bring that concept home is something you already work with every day.
Those of us in the window industry—including those who design homes and do installations—should be very excited about biophilic design. It’s almost as if science is now backing what most of us knew intuitively—more natural light, a better view of nature is astonishingly healthy for us!
As COVID-19 drove millions of us back home to work remotely, the quality of life inside our homes has become more important than ever. People are looking to make their livingspace more connected to nature, and a major part of that is more natural light with a view of as much of the trees, plants, and sky as possible.
Green design or biophilic design is something to talk about with your customers. A home window replacement is an opportunity to transform a home into a beautiful peaceful space, where there is more window than wall in as many rooms as possible.
Homeowners may resist upgrading to larger windows when looking for window replacement, but if they look at the science, it’s clear that bigger windows are not just an investment in the value of their home, but also a proven investment in their health and happiness.
As humans, we are wired to be connected to nature, and modern life cuts us off from that much of the time. We work in offices with small windows that don’t open or have no windows at all. Many homes get most of their light from bulbs. Separation from nature can lead to depression, sleep disturbance, irritability and more. Biophilic design reconnects us to the nature our minds and bodies crave, and that connection reduces stress, sharpens focus, increases productivity, and has many psychological benefits that add up to a healthy sense ofwell-being.
The very act of seeing and feeling the outdoors is almost as beneficial as being outdoors. Biophilic design seeks to bring as much nature indoors as possible with large windows designed to maximize natural light, frame the best view, and open easily to let the outside air flow through the house on nice days. Better yet, glass wall systems almost erase the lines between indoors and out. The room looks and feels like it’s outside.
Multiple scientific studies show the remarkable (and seemingly obvious) benefits of green design. Elements like plants, water fountains, and natural light can reduce stress. Just hearing the sounds of nature has shown to improve mental well-being by 37%.
Nature gives a sense of calm and well-being. We feel better about everything when surrounded with nature.
