Moving glass walls are an elegant option to add another opening to your home or business. As the name implies, moving glass walls are glass fixtures which can be installed in place of walls. Unlike a floor-to-ceiling window, though, moving glass walls can open and close. They are designed to give you both a way to optimize on the open door style and protect from the elements. They are most commonly added to porches and decks, but can be used throughout a home or business.
The Benefits Of Moving Glass Walls
Moving glass walls have many advantages. Here are some of the benefits you need to know about how moving glass walls can take your space to the next level.
#1. Versatile
Moving glass walls are extremely versatile, both in design and in function. They can be made with aluminum, wood, or wood clad frames. They can slide open, fold up against your walls, or retract entirely into the wall, depending on the look you want for your overall space. They can also be installed throughout a home or business. You are not restricted to one type of look or style, nor to only having them on your porch.
#2. Make Your Space Seem Larger
While other doors can obstruct and make your space seem smaller, moving glass walls do not obstruct anything from sight, ergo making your space seem larger than it actually is. It is one thing to have windows, it is enough to have an entire wall of glass which makes a room seem much less closed off and much more spacious.
#3. Elegant
Moving glass walls are a classier alternative to sliding doors. An entire wall being glass makes your space look more expensive and adds elegance. While floor-to-ceiling windows can also accomplish this, the added touch of being able to open your glass wall provides an extra flare to enhance the vibe of your space.
#4. Bring The Outside Inside
Everyone loves a beautiful view, and moving glass walls are a way for you to enjoy it, unobstructed. Plus, sometimes you may wish to sit and admire nature, but it is too hot or too cold outside to be comfortable outside your home, or maybe it’s raining or snowing or something else. Moving glass walls provide a way for you to enjoy nature from the comfort and protection of your home.
#5. Convenient
It’s no secret that moving furniture and other large objects is a pain, especially when it comes to trying to fit something like a couch through a door frame. Moving glass walls make moving things in and out of a space much easier by providing a wide opening to enter and exit through. There’s no awkward maneuvering needed if you can just open a wall and walk through the space where it was.
#6. Enhance Entertaining
If you’re hosting an event, moving glass walls can make the entire process of creating enough space for everyone you plan to invite easier. They’ll make it easier for people to mingle and get around, because you can just open the wall between your living room and your porch or wherever you have it installed and instantaneously have so much more room for people to interact.
#7. Increase Natural Light
Moving glass walls also greatly increase the amount of natural light in your room, especially if you have them strategically placed. Natural light has many benefits from cutting down electric bills through giving enough light that you don’t need to turn artificial lights on, to increasing energy and focus from exposure to sunlight which is nature’s energy booster, to increasing your overall health through the exposure to vitamin D.
Moving glass walls allow so much more natural light into your house, and do so in a way that still protects from heat and cold and moisture damage and other such discomforts and inconveniences that can result from leaving doors open. Natural light is essential to our overall happiness and comfort, and moving glass walls provide an excellent way to increase exposure to it.
