Have you ever seen modern windows or French doors that have blinds inside the glass panes? These are usually called between the glass windows. These might seem like novelties or unnecessary, but they actually have a lot of practical advantages that you might find beneficial. If you are going to invest in new windows, you should definitely consider fixtures that have blinds within the panes. This article explains their main benefits.

Convenience

One of the best benefits of having between the glass windows is that they are so convenient to use. The controls for the blinds are attached directly to the window sash. With the push of a button you can draw the blinds open or closed. With the push of another button, you can retract or let them down completely. Basically, you don't need to deal with an annoying cord. This is also convenient on large windows for people who have difficulty lifting heavy wooden blinds. The blinds are geared, so there is no resistance or weight. It is literally the push of a button.

More Seamless, Hidden Design

Another great thing about having your blinds set directly with in your window panes is that they don't obstruct the style of your window interior. Whether you have recessed, bay, or casement windows with decorative molding, traditional blinds can detract from the window style. On top of that, they can block the view out of your window. You can definitely let more light into your rooms with between the glass blinds. When the blinds are retracted, they become completely invisible because they nestle inside the top of the sash.

Drapes Look Great with Between the Glass Blinds

If you want to install drapes on the inside of your window fixtures, having between the glass blinds is going to make the drapes stand out more and be more stylish. The window fixtures also won't get in each other's way. That is, you can easily operate your blinds even if your drapes are closed because you just need to push the button.

Added Efficiency

Since there is such a wide gap between the two panes of glass, these windows can't be extremely insulated. But when the blinds are closed, this adds even more insulation during the winter and protection from the sun during the summer.

Between the glass blinds might seem weird and specialized, but they are actually very practical and great for any residential window fixture.
