By Jocelyn Davidson


Man is in constant pursuit of things that can make living easy, comfortable, and beneficial. Nowadays, there are a lot of inventions and technologies available to cater to our every needs. Some are useful, while others are just weird. Choosing one that best suit you and your needs is sometimes the most tricky part.

Of course, the price for getting this technology in your homes can be high. You also have to consider the type of house you have and see whether or not it can accommodate such change. Where to get one is also a major question. But before you rush out to your nearest contractor and inquire about installation, take a moment to know more about switchable glass.

There are varieties of this invention, most common are the electrical and the non electrical ones. The first is operated by electricity and the dimness of the screen can be controlled and adjusted at your will. The second requires pure heat or direct light to trigger the change. Although low costing as it does not require the use of electricity, this type has limited level of opaqueness and cannot be controlled.

Although most technologies are costly to get and install and sometimes to maintain, checking on their benefits can sometimes make the price worth it. Same thing with this glass. We have gathered the major reason why most modern homes opt for this type of screens compared to regular ones.

Since this basically allows you to control the amount of light that gets through to your home, this eliminates the use of curtains, blinds, or shades. This means you get away from all those dreaded cleaning. That added to the fact that it can automatically turn translucent when the sun is up, thus blocking those glaring lights.

Saves you electricity by keeping the heat out. It has a certain property that allows it to block heat from the outside, especially when it is in its dimmed form. This in turn keeps the temperature inside your home low, which diminishes the need for your air conditioning to run too much during summer.

Keeps heat. Another energy saving trick this window offers is keeping heat inside your homes. During cold winter nights, most homes have their heaters up and running. But normal windows cannot keep the heat in. The heat seeps out and the temperature becomes low again which makes the heater work more. This would trap the humidity inside and keep it there.

For those who are conscious of their well being, you will be delighted to know that this also can be good for your, well, health. We all know that the sun emits ultraviolet rays, which is harmful to your skin, among others. This screen, thankfully, blocks UV rays, aside from blocking also some or all forms of wavelengths that can cause all sorts of illnesses. Moreover, this property is also good for your home furnishings, particularly those that is constantly under the heat of the sun. This prevents discoloration and fading of your wood and fabrics at home.

Cost cutting, energy saving, and health beneficial. These are some of the things you will get when you get yourself a smart glass. With enough consideration for cost and installation, getting one for your home may be the smartest move you can make.
