Your home is your sanctuary. It’s a place that you can always go to when you need to escape the noise, hassle, and frustration of the outside world. It’s a place of peace, safety, and most importantly, privacy that you can count on. But, it’s still important to be able to look out of your window on a beautiful day. How best do we balance having large transparent openings in our homes with our personal privacy? If you’ve been agonizing over this question, worry no more! We at Toronto Doors and Windows are here to tell you that the future is here and that your answer is privacy glass.
What Is Privacy Glass?
We’re glad that you asked. Privacy Glass is a great advance in glass, and thus window, technology that will fundamentally change the way that we think of our windows. The glass has an electrical current running through it that allows it to go from transparent and usable as a window, to opaque and clouded with the flip of a simple switch. It sounds like a simple idea, and it is, but it also means a great many things in your home are about to change!
What Are Some Obvious Benefits of Privacy Glass?
We all know that energy efficient windows and energy efficient doors are important for our homes, but can you really put a price on privacy? Privacy glass can be installed anywhere in your home in the form of windows, allowing any room to go from being wide open and naturally lit, to closed off and completely private in less than a second. This means no compromising between privacy and the size of the windows you want.
A second great benefit is simply protection. You enter into your home to escape from the outside world, right? Well, one of the fastest growing threats is the harmful UV rays coming from our very own sun. Privacy glass windows allow you to block out light that can fade your carpets and cause skin damage totally and completely, making any room a cooler and sun-free safe-environment.
What Are Some Not-So-Obvious Benefits of Privacy Glass?
So, we know that privacy can be greatly enhanced even for large windows that allow you to see the world outside, but what else is privacy glass good for? Well, since privacy glass windows turn to a clouded, opaque, white-colour, you can also use their surface as a screen for projectors. This means no more large and bulky televisions taking up space in your living room. You can just use an entire wall as a window and a screen!
So, if you’re looking to modernize your home in a big way, upgrade your privacy, and protect yourself from the sun while still getting some of the great extras that modern technology can provide, look no further than privacy glass from Toronto Doors and Windows for your next window installation or window replacement. They are truly the way of the future.
