How do replacement windows shade the inside of your room

Replacement windows are specially meant to allow sunlight and fresh air into your home. Can you imagine a home only lit with artificial and no natural light filled with stale air? Quite creepy, won’t it be. No one likes getting cooped in an enclosure and this applies in the same way too. These windows though, are also used very often as a decorative source. A home that has brand-new windows certainly looks more attractive and will be able to fetch a marginally higher price.

Too much sunlight that falls into your house is however not good either. There has to be a control and limit. If the midday sun emerges and the UV rays passes through your clear window, it will heat up the air inside causing it to be warm and your cooler will have to work harder. Therefore, some people choose to install replacement windows with the aim of it to shade the inside of the room. How can this be done?

The use of blinds or curtains is a wonderful way by which replacement windows shades the inside of the house. Blinds are usually installed on the inside of the house because if left outside, it is subjected to the rain, which can damage it. Also, it is more practical to have it inside cause adjusting the blind can be done easily. Curtains work in the same way too and are always installed on the inside. Draw the curtain open when you need light and vice versa.

Another way replacement windows helps shades the inside of the house is by using tinted glass. Tinted glass is quite the opposite of clear glass. Tinted glass only partially allows some of the light into the house. Some better and thicker tinted glass can reduce as much as 40%-50% of the glare. They are however notably more expensive then your usual glass. Also, they are darker in colour so they should go well with aluminum replacement windows rather than those of vinyl or fiberglass.
