If you’re a fan of real estate shows that focus on the West Coast, you’ve surely seen modern houses boasting glass wall systems. More and more, this option is becoming popular not only on contemporary homes, but on traditional homes as well. While increasing in popularity, the idea isn’t new. For years, designers of stylish log cabins have brought in glass walls as a way to bring the outside in and make the most of glorious mountain views. If you’re planning on making changes to your Houston home, consider the addition of folding or sliding glass walls

Benefits of Stunning Glass Wall Systems 

The benefits of a glass wall system are many, and they work well in just about any room in your home. 

Examples include: 

  • Living areas 
  • Bedrooms 
  • Bathrooms 
  • Artist studio 
  • As a lead-out to a deck or pool area 
  • Home office 
  • The possibilities are endless! 
If you’re on the fence about whether sliding or folding glass walls are right for your home, consider the many benefits! 

  • Modern Touch: This particular benefit might not appeal to every Houston homeowner, but if you’re looking to add a contemporary touch to a traditional home, a glass wall is a great way to do it. Our design and installation experts will ensure the wall won’t look out of place, but that it will blend seamlessly with the other elements of your home.  
  • Better Views: Unobstructed views will make any space feel more open and allow you to enjoy the outdoors from the comfort of your home. Whether your glass wall overlooks a ranch, the bustling downtown area, or your backyard pool, you’ll enjoy the views more than ever.  
  • Abundant Natural Light: Studies have shown that 93% of homeowners list abundant natural light as an important feature in a home. You won’t get more natural sunlight than with sliding or folding glass walls! Let the sunshine in, and bring extra warmth and light to your home.  
  • Potential Health Benefits: Proper amounts of sunlight bring potential health benefits. Sunlight reduces eyestrain, provides Vitamin D and, for people who spend a lot of time indoors, can even help alleviate Seasonal Affective Disorder.  
  • Energy-Efficient Features: The energy-efficient features of today’s glass wall systems mean that you don’t have to worry about your energy bill going through the roof. In fact, many homeowners end up saving money. Our glass walls feature energy-efficient glass and airtight construction. Plus, the glass is locally made and specially engineered to perform well in Houston’s climate.
