  • Difference between hurricane doors, double-pane regular glass, tempered glass, and Low-E glass

    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.

    Screen replacement can be done when there are a few holes or worn areas.

    In dry or aging conditions, it is often best to replace all screens at once. This can be more cost-effective and helps you save on additional service visit costs.

  • Window Repair In Pembroke Pines

    Half Circle Window

    A half-circle window is not cut with a regular knife. It is mainly a special-order item.

    You can always install temporary plexiglass and use different cutting methods as a short-term solution.

    In Pembroke Pines, Florida, there is no factory that fabricates this type of window on demand, but you can find local suppliers that sell plexiglass to use temporarily while you wait for the permanent window to be ordered and fabricated.
