Following this thread with interest. We’ve got an old timber pergola that doesn’t do much for sun protection, so I’ve been curious about upgrading. Never considered polycarbonate until now, but sounds promising.

Great question! Smart glass is definitely a game-changer in the double glazing industry. The ability to control transparency, heat, and light with just a touch is revolutionizing how we think about energy efficiency. For example, the technology can reduce the need for artificial lighting by automatically adjusting to the amount of sunlight, helping lower energy costs. It's also great for regulating indoor temperatures, making spaces more comfortable without relying heavily on air conditioning or heating. However, the price is still a bit high compared to regular double glazing, and installation can be more complex. If you're interested in exploring this further, you can check out some more detailed information on double glazing, where they discuss the latest innovations and how smart glass is shaping the future of home and office design.

Interesting to hear everyone’s experiences! I think a lot depends on personal preference. For me, I’d pick Portsmouth to Santander if it means less time on the road and more time actually relaxing on the ferry. Either way, sounds like both routes have their own perks, and it’s really about finding the best fit for your travel needs.
