Journal Entry 1 (continued)

On the left I found some neat finishes found in a magazine called Architectural Products. The top is a back lit frosted glass stair rail and on the bottom is a rotating sprayer used in a shower. On the right, also found in Architectural Products, is a building that uses Solar Gard window film. It blocks out solar heat while allowing in natural light. This helps owners cut down on AC costs, blocks out close to 100% of UV light, and protects the color and quality of interior furnishings all while reducing glare and preserving outdoor views.
