The concept behind the garden window is similar to that of the greenhouse. Most greenhouses are structures with glass roofs. The glass used for a greenhouse works as a barrier to air flow, and its purpose is to trap the Sun’s energy within the greenhouse, which helps you grow wide variety of plants. Commercial glass greenhouses are often high-tech production facilities for vegetables or flowers.

Garden windows were designed to bring some of that technology to your Connecticut home. Like bay and bow windows, garden windows project outside the home. Most garden windows have one or two glass shelves. The most common location for the garden window is the kitchen over the sink. Garden windows can add something special to any room, which makes living in it more enjoyable. Therefore more and more homeowners place garden windows in bedrooms, living rooms and even bathrooms. But this is simply a matter of personal preference.
