Yeah, those old windows have a certain charm… right up until you’re shivering in your own living room. I used to swear by keeping everything original too, but comfort wins out eventually. The energy savings alone made me feel a little better about the price tag. Still not sold on smart glass either—feels like overkill unless you’re running a spaceship.

I get where you’re coming from, but I actually think smart glass could make sense in older homes, depending on the setup. My neighbor put it in their sunroom and was shocked at how much it cut down the summer heat. Maybe not for every window, but for spots that get blasted by sun all day? I’m tempted, just wish it wasn’t so pricey. The charm-versus-comfort debate is real though... I still miss my old wavy glass sometimes.
