Between-the-Glass Blinds: A Smart Solution for Alaskan Homes
Living in Alaska means embracing the unique challenges that come with our cold climate. From long, dark winters to fluctuating temperatures, every part of your home plays a role in keeping you comfortable and protected. Whether it’s preventing frost on the windows, managing moisture buildup, or finding ways to improve energy efficiency, even small changes can have a big impact. At MatCor, we've discovered a simple yet innovative feature of the Pella Lifestyle Series Windows that can help tackle these challenges head on – between-the-glass blinds.
Why Pella’s Lifestyle Windows & Between-the-Glass Blinds Are Perfect for Alaska
What makes Between-the-Glass Blinds and Shades such a great fit for Alaska’s unique climate? Let’s break it down:
- Moisture Control:
Unlike traditional blinds or fabric shades, these blinds are enclosed between panes of glass, preventing moisture buildup. This feature is especially crucial in kitchens, bathrooms or bedrooms, where condensation can be an issue. - Energy Efficiency:
With Alaska’s long winters, every bit of insulation counts. Pella Lifestyle Series windows are designed with double or triple panes, and the integrated blinds add an extra layer of insulation. That means a cozier home and lower heating bills—something every homeowner can appreciate. - Cleaner, Safer Homes:
Since the blinds are sealed between glass, they’re protected from dust, damage, and curious little hands. If you have kids or pets, you’ll love the peace of mind that comes with cordless, out-of-reach blinds. - Stylish and Customizable:
Available in today’s most popular colors, Between-the-Glass Blinds can complement any home style. Whether you’re aiming for modern, cozy, or classic aesthetics, there’s a shade to match your décor.
A Personal Experience from MatCor Owner, Jeff Edwards
At MatCor, we stand by the products we offer because we’ve seen the difference they make firsthand. Here’s what owner, Jeff Edwards, has to say about his own experience with Pella Lifestyle Series windows:
"Only recently did I fully understand just how much of an impact Between-the-Glass Blinds can have in cold climates like ours. We installed these in our bedrooms and bathrooms, and I was amazed at the results. Initially, we considered fabric cellular shades but quickly realized they weren’t ideal for Alaska—they don’t allow proper air circulation, which can lead to moisture buildup and problems like mold or ice.
When we switched to Between-the-Glass Blinds, the difference was night and day. Not only did it solve our moisture issues, but it also improved our home’s energy efficiency, saving us money on heating. I knew about the energy savings, but the air circulation fix was a surprising and welcome bonus. Now, I recommend this solution to anyone looking to enhance their home in our unique climate."
