In certain regions, where there is a particular climate, there are ways to be comfortable indoors without breaking the bank when it comes to bills for heating or cooling a space. Glare reducing glass can be very beneficial to these types of climates or locations, by bringing down the cost of air conditioning through managing the temperature of a room or building. This can also be done without affecting the amount of light coming into the space.
In areas where it is sunnier, such as the southern region or even beachfront properties, this type of glass is most desirable. First of all, it does not affect how much light enters the room, so you can still benefit from the beauty of a waterfront view or get all the necessary lighting during the day. However, what the glass does is reduce the amount of heat coming into the space.
Some products can reduce or block up to 73% of the sun’s heat entering a room. Imagine what this could do for the air conditioning bills around the home! This also helps to keep a home’s inhabitants cool and comfortable throughout the day, when the sun it at its highest and hottest as well as at other times.
The best places to use this type of glass around the home are, as mentioned, in locations where the sun is more prominent, such as homes along the Gulf Coast, the West and Southwest. Waterfront homes as well as those located on golf courses tend to also need such treatment. Furthermore, homes with expansive windows could very well benefit from having such glass treatment.
Not only does this glass work in warm weather; it can help during cooler months as well. It can insulate up to 50% better than using windows that are standard double-paned. This will save energy as well as maintaining comfort levels during those colder winter months. Better insulation means that more heat remains inside instead of escaping through the glass.
Glare can also be reduced on a personal level with eye glasses. This is particularly important for those who are easily affected by glare in certain conditions and situations, causing damage to the eye and possible further danger. These include working in front of a computer, especially in the dark, and also driving at night.
Driving at night can be particularly dangerous if the driver becomes affected by the glare of an oncoming vehicle, for example. This can lead to being disoriented momentarily or not able to see properly, which could lead to an accident. Furthermore, the glare of street lamps alone, as well as display boards and other lighting could affect the overall driving experience, causing much discomfort and also slowing one’s reaction time.
Night driving glasses are perfect for those affected by glare. They will help with the impaired vision that can occur due to consistent exposure to glare, and they will be able to assist with all facets of one’s vision, including color recognition and depth perception. Peripheral vision will also be sharper.
