What are Common Glass Finishes for a Home?

First impressions are everything, whether you’re looking to sell or are striving to have the nicest-looking house on the block. In fact, 63 percent of homebuyers will drop by after viewing a home they like online. Some of the first things they will see is the size, cleanliness, paint, and glass fixtures. The last thing you want is a home with dirty or shattered glass, so here are a few tips we suggest:

Windows

Repaint

Believe it or not, sometimes all your home needs is a fresh coat of white paint (or another complementary color). Being one of the simplest solutions, find any window frames in your home that are lacking that “fresh” look and give them a much-needed upgrade. No matter what color or finish you choose, it will make any window sill look brand-new!

Install tinted glass

Sometimes the best way to establish an element of privacy in your home is to install tinted glass windows. Whether it’s only for the front of your home or a particular room in general, the possibilities are endless. Not only will tinted glass windows provide privacy, but they’ll also block out the sun’s harmful rays — and keep your home cool in the process, too.

Opt for a skylight

Having a skylight installed in your home will maximize sunlight and will act as an architectural element. Believe it or not, skylights aren’t too common in homes nowadays — and they’re quite the selling point if your home is on the market! Skylights are the perfect addition to rooms that don’t have the wall space for traditional windows, and will bring in a beautiful array of sunlight for the years to come!

Doors

Go for sliding doors

Sliding glass doors are the perfect way to open up a space and add easy access to your backyard. These doors are a great solution if you host a series of barbeques in the summertime or just want a different alternative to adding sunlight (and practicality) to a space!

Choose Low-E glass doors

These glass doors are a perfect choice because they will save you energy. This type of class coating has been developed to minimize the amount of ultraviolet and infrared light that can pass through glass without compromising the amount of visible light that is transmitted.
