Many areas of our homes and businesses are made from glass, not just the windows. However, with glass being fragile, it is prone to breakages. There is a common conception that once the glass element of a window, door or furniture item breaks the whole unit needs to be replaced. This I not the case as quality glazing repair companies are able to fix this problem without changing the whole unit.
Window Repairs
Windows are the most abundant glass product in our homes and therefore the chances of it being broken or in need of repair at some point are almost inevitable. If a double glazed window gets smashed, unfortunately the sealed unit itself will need replacing, not simply the glass. Be aware that the unit itself can be removed from the overall window frame and replaced easily. Do not be fooled by double glazing companies that may insist that the whole window needs replacing e.g. if you have a bay window and only one of the panes of glass gets destroyed.
A broken window can happen at any time of the day or night and cannot be left unattended to as it will result in a cold, unsecured property. Ensure that you know a local glazier who offers a 24 hour emergency repair or boarding service so that should you need them, you know who to contact.
Internal Glass Door Repair
Internal doors often feature a glass element as it allows light to pass through thus making the house more illuminated as a whole. It can also compliment the décor of the rooms, particularly if the glass is patterned.
The only issue with having glass in interior doors is that they often get slammed shut, causing the glass to weaken and sometimes shatter as a result. Also, children playing in houses often have little or no regard for the breakable items around them, occasionally leading to a stray toy smashing the door glass.
Many people panic when the glass element of a door is broken, thinking that the whole door will need to be replaced; this is not the case. A reputable glazing company will be able to replace the broken glass at a reasonable cost. A quality company will use only top quality glass products such as Pilkington Texture glass to complete the repair.
Mirror Repairs
According to superstition, breaking a mirror brings with it 7 years of bad luck; this bad luck can begin with having to pay the cost of a whole new mirror and frame. Glazing repair companies are able to replace mirrors without having to change the frame, reducing the overall repair costs.
Whatever your glazing repair needs, ensure that you use a local glazing company that you can trust for quality and price. Ensure that they have a good reputation for service and value for money.
