Your windows are an important part of your home’s architecture. They let in the light, set the mood, and speak volumes about your style. The great thing about treating the glass on your windows is that often times, the glazing process pulls double duty by not only increasing your home’s energy efficiency, but also by looking good.
The Practical Benefits of Glazing
Glazes are a smart investment for home and business owners, as well as those tasked with building upkeep. High quality glazes serve to create a seal on your glass that is highly practical for both energy efficiency and security. In terms of energy efficiency, glazing reflects back UV rays that would otherwise enter your space, and heat your home, which means your AC won’t have to work as hard in rooms that have been sealed.
In terms of security, glazing helps prevent shattering in case of damage, and in the less likely event that your window is broken, either by burglars or inclement weather, the glaze holds the damaged glass in place. This means that your space, and those in it, is not put at risk from shattered glass that’s fallen across the floor.
Glazing Is Stylish
As much as you might love your highly practical glaze, for some people and some homes, clear glass just doesn’t cut it. The good news is though, that the latest glazing products to come out on the market allow you to glaze your windows so that they’re not only protected, but also reflect your personal style as well. From the ever-tasteful Fluer de Lys, to funky geometric patterns, window glazes are now available to complement the style, personality, and architecture of virtually any room. So when you’re shopping around for window glazing, don’t settle for clear when you know you’d rather go for something a bit more interesting.
