The Health Benefits of an Indoor-Outdoor Home

Why Movable Glass Walls are Here to Stay

Walk into a home with a NanaWall, and you’ll feel that something is airier and lighter. That’s because indoor-outdoor homes with moveable glass walls provide natural sunlight, flush a room with fresh air, and allow the tranquillity of the garden to filter inside.

Health and wellness benefits built into a home are a trend reignited by COVID-19, but feel the benefits of these in your own household, and you’ll see why they’re here to stay.

Activities like homeschooling, remote working, and outdoor entertaining - and the need for fresh air and natural sunlight - are also reshaping how we build houses. Building a new home for you and your family that incorporates moveable glass walls is not just about style and design – it’s about celebrating a healthy lifestyle.

Improve Health with Natural Daylight

The first thing you’ll notice about a home with moveable glass walls is just how much natural light they let in. It’s a great way to get a dose of Vitamin D without stepping outside. Saying goodbye to buzzing overhead lights, and embracing warming sunlight, is an instant mood lifter, too.

Gently move the glass wall aside, and you’ll flush the room with fresh outside air and the sounds of the garden. It’s become more important than ever to have rooms with adequate ventilation, but even before this, the health and wellness benefits of fresh air and nature have been well documented.

Having a constant supply of fresh air in the house, rather than living off conditioned air, is good for your health – and can even improve happiness and well-being in some people.

Create Seamless Transitions

There are peripheral health benefits, too. Installing moveable glass walls in your new home will transform how you live – especially as you spend more time living, working, schooling, and entertaining from home. A glass wall can demarcate a home office or school section for distraction-free work during the day and easily move aside to increase your floor space when you want to relax or entertain guests. The same is true for home gyms – a moveable glass wall can open up fully to the outdoors when the weather is nice and protect you from the elements when it turns cold.

These positive shifts in your home lifestyle aren’t just for looks, though – with some planning towards your new home, they’ll also transfer to your state of mind and overall health.
