Smart Glass
You’re kidding right? Nope! Not kidding! Smart Glass, believe it or not, is a new technology, and anytime they claim that the glass is smart, you know something great is on the way. There are many new words connected to smart glass, so let us explain a few.
First off, Photochromic technology works similar to your sunglasses and they need no electricity or anything manual to work. When the sun hits them they tint. Period. They work well when you want your windows to tint automatically when the sun hits them. During winter when you’d like the sun to enter your home, the tint blocks it out.
Now you will be able to control how much sun comes through your windows, and a simple tint doesn’t do the job. The Suspended Particle Devise works this way: They separate the two panes of glass by a space of air and a conductive glaze covers the glass. The elements, suspended in a liquid film, and the particles block out the light and the room remains dark. Flip the switch, the electricity causes the elements to line up and allows light to pass through.
You’ll find the Liquid Crystals in digital clocks and DVD displays. Turn the electricity on and the light comes through your windows. Turned off and the room becomes dark again. At least you control the amount of light coming into your home.
Thirdly the Electrochromic Glass work opposite the previous mentioned Smart Glass. When you supply the current, the windows become dark. Turned back on the windows allow the light to shine through. This type may take a few minutes to adjust and normally the electrochromic glass works from the outside in to the middle. It doesn’t require a lot of electricity once the initial tint is achieved; you need no more power to maintain it. You now have total control of your windows.
The Smart Glass windows come from the factory and need a trained technician to achieve success. The professional will have the necessary knowledge to install them because it involves a lot of specialized labor.
When something new comes on the market, the prices normally soar. The manufacturer suggests that homeowners have these smart glass windows installed one window at a time. Choose the window where the room is the hottest in the summertime. Once you have total control of your windows, you’ll brag about your Smart Glass, and soon you’ll see smart glass everywhere.

Dual Pane Windows
Most new homes in the state of California have dual pane windows. If your home is twenty years or older, you may want to consider having dual pane windows installed in your entire home. Not only will the new windows add to your home’s value, but you’ll find that your heating and cooling bills will be lower.
Not only that, but your home will be quieter and you won’t believe the difference. You’ll wonder why you never had the dual pane windows installed before. Those barking neighbor’s dogs can be shut out in an instant, just close your windows. You’ll also silence your neighbor’s lawn mower early Saturday mornings.
So what exactly are dual pane windows? Why are they so popular that they even make laws requiring them to be installed in new homes?
There are many companies today that have been replacing regular windows in homes and have increased their business by adding the dual pane windows as part of their specialty. The windows are custom made at factories and have 2 sheets of glass with a dead-air space between them. That space is what slows the transfer of air temperature between the inside and outside.
It’s unbelievable how well they work. When you’re accustomed to sharing sounds from your neighbor’s, especially if they have a teenager who practices drums in the garage with the door wide open. You figure it is what happens in close-knit neighborhoods, you hear that thump – thump – thump of their music. Or you hear their arguments that you don’t want to share.
When you consider something as simple as changing out your regular windows to dual pane windows, you’ll wonder why you waited so long. The new windows will be the rave of the neighborhood. They add value to your home and your home no longer looks old and with a new paint job, your home can compete with the new ones in town.
Not only will the windows be new, but the frames will be new as well. Bright white frames add a dignity to your home, and they can tint the windows and also add blinds between the sheets of glass. Now who do you hire to install them?
Like we said before, there are many companies that deal almost exclusively with dual pane windows. They will come to your home, measure all of your windows you want replaced, give you a price, have a contract for you to sign, and within a short period of time you’ll appreciate your new dual pane windows.
