Selling Your Home

When I was a kid, my parents decided to sell the small brick home we lived in. Unfortunately, they didn’t receive any high offers for the house. Because I don’t ever want to experience the difficulties selling a house that my parents did, I’ve researched home improvements homeowners can make to add value to their properties before placing them on the market. A great remodeling project to undertake before selling a home is installing new windows. New windows can add value by improving both the appearance and energy efficiency of a home. On this blog, I hope you will discover the benefits of installing new windows in your home before attempting to sell it. Enjoy!

Between-The-Glass Windows And Doors

by Jesse Henderson

If you are going to install new windows or doors in your home, there are endless possibilities for bringing your functionality up to date. This is definitely true when it comes to the design of your blinds. This article explains exactly what between-the-glass blinds are, and many of the great benefits they have.

Problems with Traditional Blinds

Most windows have blinds on the interior of the sash, and they usually hang on the top of the frame. But, this can make movable, casement style windows and doors awkward to use. That is, when you swing open the door or window, the blind often flops up and slams back against the fixture. This is one reason why people are often interested in between-the-glass window blinds. Between-the-glass blinds are also handy because they don't gather dust. They don't need to be cleaned. They are less likely to have operational problems because they mechanisms are within the door and things won't get damaged.

There are modern prefabricated windows and doors that have glass panes with large spaces in between each piece of glass. This extra space is beneficial because it adds to the insulation of the glass. But, this space in between the glass panes is also where the blinds can be installed. When your shades are up, you can't even see them. That is, they took him to the top layer of the window frame for they are invisible.

These between-the glass blinds are similar in design to normal blinds that are on the outside of the window. However, they don't have a drawstring. In fact, they can be opened and closed with the push of a button on the outside of the frame. Some more advanced products are even motorized so they can be controlled with a remote control or smart phone. A motorized system is perfect for a door with a French style glass opening.

Cleaning

One of the best things but having your blinds in place in between the glass panes is the fact that they remain clean and dust free over the years. You just have to clean the glass. Cleaning normal blinds can be a pain because getting in between the blades is so tedious. Also, having blinds blocking your glass makes your window panes more difficult to clean as well.

The functionality and low profile style of between-the-glass windows and doors is sure to when you over. It is worth the extra investment. Talk with a business that offers these special windows and doors, as well as window shutters treatment for a high-end look.
