Customise your shed windows
Find out how you can modify the windows of your home or office shed.
Sheds are a must-have for almost any home or workplace. They’re a great place to store stuff, work, or park small vehicles.
Now, most people may think of sheds as boring little structures—they don’t have to be. You can always make a few modifications to give them a bit more character. One good way to do that is by customising the shed windows.
How to customise your shed windows
Choose the right window type
Selecting the appropriate window type can greatly impact ventilation. Louvre windows are ideal for hotter Australian climates, as their horizontal slats can be adjusted to control airflow while keeping rain out. Sliding windows, which allow for large openings, are great for regions with mild to warm weather and limited space. Awning windows, hinged at the top and opening outward, are excellent for areas with frequent rain, like parts of New South Wales or Victoria, as they allow air circulation while keeping out water.
Optimise window placement
Effective ventilation starts with window placement. Placing windows on opposite walls promotes cross-ventilation, allowing air to flow freely and reduce humidity. This setup is especially beneficial in hotter regions like Queensland or the North. Positioning windows at different heights—high for escaping warm air and low for cooler air—improves circulation and is useful in areas with temperature fluctuations, such as South Australia or Western Australia. Also, placing windows to capture prevailing winds can enhance cooling.
Add adjustable ventilation features
Adjustable features can provide greater control over the airflow in your shed or workshop, enhancing comfort and protecting against extreme weather conditions. For instance, adding window shutters can allow you to manage the air entering or leaving the space. These features are beneficial in areas prone to sudden weather changes, as they can be quickly adjusted to either let in a breeze or keep out rain and wind. Also, installing insect screens is another solution for keeping pests out while allowing fresh air to circulate.
Incorporate additional ventilation elements
Combining windows with additional ventilation elements can significantly enhance airflow and improve the overall air quality inside your space. Roof vents or whirlybirds, for example, are effective at removing hot air that accumulates near the ceiling, particularly in hotter climates. These passive ventilation options help maintain a cooler interior by allowing warm air to escape, reducing the need for air conditioning or fans. Also, installing an exhaust fan near a window can further help manage heat and humidity levels.
