If you live near a beach affected by turtle hatching season, you’re likely aware that there are very specific laws and lighting ordinances in place to help keep newly hatched sea turtles from confusing building light with that of the moon, which they follow to find safe refuge in the water. These laws offer very strict guidelines on what lights can and cannot be seen from your home at night during hatching season, in order to cut down on any negative ecological impact beachfront homes may have on sea turtles as a species.
While it may seem like a hassle to remember to close your blinds every night at a certain hour, particularly if you enjoy your waterfront view at night, it’s a small but important effort that must be made to preserve the natural ecosystem of the coast. However, there is a solution to make remembering to adhere to this ordinance a thousand times easier: turtle glass. Turtle glass, which may be required in your county with any new window installation anyways, is a lovely, green-tinted glass that significantly reduces the amount of light pollution your home gives off at night.
Not only is turtle glass a simple and convenient alternative allowing you to always adhere to your county’s ordinances and local laws, but it’s also an ecologically and environmentally-friendly solution when replacing your windows.
As a total-solutions window dealer and installer, Miracle Windows offers turtle glass with all of its energy efficient windows. Best of all, not only can Miracle Windows provide your ideal replacement windows with turtle glass for your ecologically-conscious beach front property, we can also quickly and affordably install your new windows, so you can start enjoying your nightly views of the ocean no matter what season it is.
