It is not uncommon for remodels to include knocking down of walls to create more open spaces and make rooms larger. If you have decided to go this route there is one thing you should strongly consider – installing a glass wall in place of the one that you have knocked down. Glass walls are becoming popular in walls across Cambridge for good reason – they help divide up rooms while at the same time creating the illusion of space. Of course your first question on reading this may be – how safe can a glass wall be? Isn’t it just a matter of time before it all comes down? Not quite; glass walls are quite safe because they are made of tempered glass. This is a kind of glass that has been specially treated to make it as tough as possible.
This is not to say that glass walls don’t break. You have no doubt seen people walk into glass walls on TV or video clips. A glass wall can break, but it takes a very strong impact to bring it down. Even when it does come down it doesn’t shatter into shards like ordinary glass; it breaks into pebbles which cause few injuries. Overall, if the only reason you are reluctant to install a glass wall in your home is because of safety you shouldn’t worry – if you choose the right kind of glass it should be perfectly safe.
What are the other benefits of a glass wall in the home? There are several. The first is that you will make the most of natural light. If your home has a tendency to look dark a glass wall will give it a complete transformation. Your home will not only look bigger, it will look brighter as well.
Another benefit of glass walls is that they cut down your utility bills. Today, walls are made of energy efficient glass which means that you will use less power to hat your home in winter and cool it in summer. In fact, in the summer months you can switch off the AC altogether and let your home be warmed by natural sunlight.
Glass walls are also highly customizable which makes them perfect for a home remodel. You can play around with the space in your home and make it look however you like. Glass walls are not just for inside walls. If you have beautiful views around your home you can install them on the outside too and enjoy great views year round.
