Six reasons for large windows
1. Plenty of natural light
Through large glass surfaces, an abundance of natural daylight penetrates, making your stay at home more comfortable. Studies have shown that people like to spend time in areas of sunlight and actively seek areas where they can be most exposed to it.
Natural light is especially important during the darker winter days, as it positively affects our energy and mood. Natural light is also an excellent source of vitamin D, which is essential for helping the body regulate the immune system, control allergy symptoms and maintain healthy brain function. When sunlight penetrates into rooms, there is no need to use lamps during the day. Large glass surfaces allow light to flood the interior of the home, bringing better mood, reducing fatigue and increasing productivity.
2. Connection with nature
The expanse of large glass surfaces brings the outdoors into the interior, allowing a stronger connection with nature. Panoramic windows become the focal point of the room and allow you to take in the views of the surrounding landscape.
At Jelovica, we offer various implementations of panoramic windows that provide the most unobstructed view of the outdoors. It seems as if there is nothing between you and the outside landscape.

Large windows offer a beautiful view of the landscape, which you can enjoy all year round. Being so close to nature is calming and brings peace.
3. Large windows connect the exterior and interior
Panoramic windows connect the interior of your home to the exterior surroundings. Their installation visually brings more space for socialising and moving about. Your guests will be able to move easily from the interior to the terrace, and pleasant time together will be guaranteed.
4. Passive heating
Wisely designed panoramic windows can contribute to heating . This is because they capture the energy of the sun and transfer it to the interior spaces as a free, natural and renewable energy source. By exploiting natural heat, you can reduce dependence on other forms of heating. Properly planned installation of panoramic windows thus lowers your energy bills.
5. Optically larger space
Providing an unobstructed view of the outdoors, installing panoramic walls with large glass surfaces creates the illusion of a larger space. At the same time, installing large panoramic windows provides excellent connectivity of the home’s interior with the outdoor environment, giving the feeling that the interior and exterior are actually one.
6. Fresh air
An open panoramic window allows for quick exchange of air in the room, bringing about the scent of plants and flowers from your garden. Fresh air high in oxygen improves the quality of living in enclosed spaces– when the concentration of oxygen is too low, your body has to work harder to stay energized.
We spend nearly 90% of our time indoors, yet we fail to realize that the quality of air is often poor and unhealthy. Our homes contain allergens and other pollutants, such as pollen, dust, and mould, which can cause respiratory problems, sneezing and itchy eyes among other things. Opening the windows helps exchange unhealthy particles with fresh air.
