We now have smart cars, smart appliances, smart beds, smart doorbells, smart toilets, and yes, even smart glass windows. Well, hold on to your curtains, Batman, because smart glass windows are nothing short of amazing. You can ditch your curtains altogether. Since smart glass goes from transparent to opaque at the touch of a button, you won’t be needing them anymore. 

Every winter seems to bring a bit more brisk to the air than the year before, especially here in the Des Moines, Iowa area. Even if the sun is out and shining, there's still a chill in the air that makes you want to cuddle up in several blankets until you can feel all your fingertips and toes again! Especially here in Iowa, where the cold is no stranger during winter. Even in a heated home, there are still ways for the cold to creep in and make it slightly uncomfortable throughout the day (and night, especially). Your windows have a lot to do with the temperatures inside your home! There are several ways to prep your windows for the winter season in Iowa to keep your home comfortable and not too cold.

Here in Des Moines, we know winter weather too well. Thankfully there's a sweet spot right before the snow falls that many Iowanians live for. The weather this Autumn in Des Moines is set to be nice and warm, with just a small hint of rain. Perfect weather for traveling around the great state of Iowa, especially here in Des Moines.
