Housing: Stamped steel or die-cast aluminum Wheels: Nylon (quiet) or stainless steel (heavy-duty) Bearings: Sealed ball bearings pressed into wheel Assembly: Riveted or screwed together
Manufacturing:
Material: Extruded aluminum (most common) Process: Aluminum billet → heated → pushed through die → cut to length Finishing: Anodized or powder-coated
Upgrades:
Stainless steel track caps (covers) for worn tracks
Pro insight:
Most “track replacement” jobs are unnecessary → track cover works if base is still straight
Pro insight:
Stainless steel rollers are best for humid/coastal areas Cheap rollers fail due to flat spots + rusted bearings
Types & Manufacturing:
Tempered Glass Heated to ~1200°F → rapidly cooled Creates surface compression → shatters into small pieces Laminated (Impact / Hurricane) Two glass sheets + PVB interlayer Pressed + baked in autoclave Low-E Glass Microscopically thin metallic coating applied Insulated (Dual Pane) Two panes + spacer + gas (argon)
Pro insight:
Florida: laminated (impact) > dual pane Tempered is standard but not hurricane-rated

For example, hurricane glass—also called laminated glass—has three layers: two sheets of glass bonded together with a thick interlayer in the middle. This construction makes it extremely difficult to break through, even if the outer glass cracks
Regular glass is not up to code because if it breaks and someone passes through it, it can cause serious injury. It shatters into large, sharp pieces. This type of glass is mainly used in windows, where there is a lower chance of someone running into it.
Double-pane glass is mainly designed for cooler climates. It consists of two layers of glass with a spacer in the middle. This design helps insulate the space and maintain indoor temperatures.
If tempered glass breaks, it shatters into many small pieces. Although it may look scary, it is much less likely to cause serious injury compared to regular glass in an accident.
Low-E glass has an extra reflective coating that provides UV protection from the sun and helps keep your home cooler. It can be fabricated for all types of windows.
Fixing glass can be challenging, especially when a window has mullions or columns. In some cases, manufacturers fabricate windows using strong structural adhesives instead of silicone. When this happens, the window frame often needs to be restored after the glass replacement.
To achieve a clean and professional finish, we either apply color-matched silicone that matches the window frame or custom-fabricate window trim to ensure a neat, aesthetically pleasing result.**
Slightly simpler version (more conversational)
**Glass replacement can be difficult, especially on windows with columns or mullions. Some manufacturers use harsh structural glue instead of silicone, which can damage the frame during glass removal. In these cases, the frame must be restored.
We either use color-matched silicone or custom window trim to make sure the final result looks clean and professional.
