RE: Thinking about upgrading to smart windows - anyone tried View vs SageGlass?
Totally get where you're coming from on this. I've been researching View windows myself lately, and while the adaptive tinting seems slick, long-term reliability is my main worry too. From what I've gathered so far, View...
RE: Thinking about privacy glass for home windows - worth the hype?

I've tried rope caulk too, and yeah, it works okay...but honestly, I found weatherstripping tape to be less messy and easier to remove later. Maybe it's just me, but the plastic shrink-wrap kits always felt like a hassle...
