Smart Window Replacements - Control the Sun With
a Switch

• How does Smart Glass Work
• The window panes in a smart glass have the
  ability to dim and brighten. However, these
  moderations depend on the type of smart window
  installed. Some windows come with a switch, used
  to control the level of opacity. Though there are
  smart Windows that operate themselves without
  human control, they have been made to react to
  the rate of light penetration automatically.
  These window panes operate in the same way as
  sunglasses, which help to adjust the level of
  light penetration. This technology is referred to
  as photochromic technology. The application of
  Photochromic technology enables window to control
  light penetration automatically. There are other
  smart windows built with thermotropic panes, but
  do not respond to manual operation or level of
  light penetration. This type of window controls
  light penetration according to the level of heat
  detected by the glass. But the major
  disadvantage of the photochromic window type is
  that the light penetration to your home is
  already pre determined. It is however impossible
  to control the level of light penetration into
  your home. During winter months, thermotropic
  window can't work properly because low heat wont
  allow it tint properly, while the photochromic
  window will act as radiant barrier thus
  preventing solar energy from heating the home
  through window replacement.

• Liquid Crystal Replacement Windows
• Liquid crystal function like the SPD technology
  where panes are in a black and white until a
  current is passed through the panes, allowing
  liquid crystal to come together for light to pass
  through, once electric current is removed, the
  window panes return to their previous black and
  white state.
• Why Advanced Technology for Window Replacements?
• Though some might wonder why replace your
  curtains with smart windows when they also
  perform the same function which is to prevent
  light penetration. But it is noteworthy to say
  that curtains still allow some level of light
  penetration, no matter how tightly closed this
  is not the case with a smart window. You can't
  go wrong with smart windows replacements in your
  home. If there are recurring problems with your
  traditional window frames, then it's advisable
  to opt for smart windows replacement.

• What it means is that the overall condition of
  your windows will help determine whether a simple
  repair will do or it is better to replace your
  windows. If you are concerned about money, it is
  usually a better idea to repair your windows
  instead of going for window replacement. However,
  you can also save some money by putting your
  money on single hung windows. These windows have
  a lower sash that slides in an upward direction,
  so you can easily unlatch the window in case you
  feel your room getting too hot. The thing is that
  you can only move the lower sash in single hung
  windows you can move both sashes in double hung
  windows. While the single hung windows usually
  cost less, you may want to go for the double hung
  windows in case you have small children at home
  because these windows allow you to open the upper
  sash only.
