The Transformative Power of Glass in Your Home

Prestige Windows + Doors: The Transformative Power of Glass in Your Home

Prestige would like to introduce you to the transformative power of glass for your living space. While most of us associate glass with windows and doors, this versatile material can actually contribute to your comfort and wellbeing in ways you might not have considered before.

Natural light is a key factor in maintaining our physical and mental health, and having plenty of windows in your home is an excellent way to soak up those rays even when you’re indoors. However, the type of glass you choose can make a significant difference. Low-emissivity (or low-e) glass is designed to control the amount of heat and UV rays that enter your home, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of sunlight without worrying about fading furniture or high energy bills.

Glass can also improve your comfort and wellbeing in other ways. Older single-pane windows can allow a significant amount of noise to penetrate your home, but upgrading to double or triple-pane glass can significantly reduce outside noise, creating a quieter, more peaceful living space. Modern windows and doors are also designed to be more airtight than ever before, which means fewer drafts and a more consistent indoor temperature – improvign the overall energy performance of your home.

Triple glazed windows will give you low U-values, greater insulation and greater thermal efficiency when taken into consideration with the window frame and not just the glass.  Triple glazed windows will reduce cold spots and will keep more heat in.

Solar control glass is also available with a special coating designed to reduce the amount of heat entering a building on south-facing elevations.  Solar control glass allows sunlight to pass through a window or door while radiating and reflecting away much of the solar energy. This means interiors remain brighter and cooler than with standard glass – helping to improve energy efficiency by reducing the need for air conditioning and interior lighting and keeping you more comfortable. 

In addition to its functional benefits, glass also offers aesthetic advantages. With a wide range of window and door styles available, you can choose a look that suits your taste. And with numerous options for frame materials and finishes, you can customize your living space to create the perfect atmosphere.

In conclusion, glass is not just a functional component of your home – it is a key player in your comfort and wellbeing. If you’re ready to upgrade your windows and doors and start enjoying all the benefits of modern glass technology, we’re here to help. Contact Prestige today to learn more!
