Housing and window planning in Kensington Farms
Sizes in Kensington Farms run from about 2,000 to 3,800 square feet. Houses on Carrington Drive have a finished basement with a fourth bedroom and a recreation room, a screened back porch and a vaulted entry. Wellborne Drive houses reach about 3,800 square feet with an upstairs loft, a gas fireplace and a finished three car garage, which is rare for the area. Mercyside Court houses come in near 2,900 square feet and put all four bedrooms upstairs, including the primary suite, with an electric fireplace below. Across the neighborhood, the plans put the bedrooms on the second floor over an open main level.
The neighborhood's housing gives us a starting point for the visit. We'll still measure your house individually, including any openings that have changed during an update. If you're replacing windows as part of the project, let us know before the treatments are ordered so the plan can use the finished frames.
What to check at the windows in Kensington Farms
Many Wellborne Drive houses have a heated and cooled glass sunroom overlooking the yard, along with high ceilings and vaulted ceilings. A sunroom with that much glass gathers heat on whichever sides face the sun, so solar fabrics or top down shades are common choices there. Carrington Drive houses have a vaulted entry and vaulted ceilings in the primary suite, and their finished basements have a fourth bedroom, which usually means an egress window the treatment must clear when it's raised. Upstairs on Mercyside Court, where all four bedrooms share one level, room darkening shades are a natural place to start.
We'll look at the way light enters your Kensington Farms rooms and check how the windows operate. The treatment needs to suit the opening when it's lowered and when it's raised. That includes the space for the hardware and the access you'll need to use the window.
Look at the sunroom as a whole
We'll ask when the sunroom gets uncomfortable and look at the glass on each wall. A shade chosen for one exposure may need a different fabric on the next, so the plan follows how you use the room.
Keep basement windows usable
If a basement window is needed for an exit, we'll plan the treatment so it can clear the opening. The finished shade and its controls need to work with the sash when it's open.
Check the mounting depth
We'll measure the usable space inside each frame before recommending an inside mount. If the headrail would project too far, we'll discuss an outside mount and show where it would sit.
Choose privacy for the room
We'll ask what the room needs after dark as well as during the day. A sample held against the actual glass gives you a better starting point than choosing from a small picture.
Products to compare for your Kensington Farms home
These are options to discuss during your Kensington Farms consultation. We'll narrow the choice after seeing the glass and learning which rooms you're working on. You can review a coordinated plan for the house or start with the rooms that need attention first.
Solar shades for sunroom glare
If daytime glare is the problem, a solar shade is an option to review in the room. We'll discuss what you can see through the fabric after dark before you choose it.
Cellular shades for basement rooms
A cellular shade can cover a basement opening without a floor length panel in the way. We'll check how it lifts and whether the window can open fully before recommending it.
Roller shades for everyday light control
A roller shade is an option to compare when you'd like the treatment to roll out of the way. We'll review the fabric in the room and discuss how much privacy you need at night.
Cellular shades for room by room coverage
A cellular shade is worth comparing where you'd like a compact treatment at the window. We'll look at the opening and discuss how much daylight you want when it's lowered.

Association checks in Kensington Farms
Kensington Farms has an association with monthly dues on the houses, and the community's pool, tennis courts, bike paths and wooded common area are the shared features it supports.
