Frameless Glass Door Installation and Replacement
Thinking
about updating your bathroom with new shower door glass? Maybe your windows
could use better weather-proofing? You have many choices to make when it comes
to glass replacement!
Updating
your shower with a new door completely changes your bathroom's look, especially
if you've previously had a shower curtain. Suddenly you have a shower that no
longer leaks, and that looks far bigger than it once did.
Many
homeowners go with a frameless glass door for their showers – they're the easiest type to keep clean because
they have no tracks. However, installing one takes patience and know-how, not
to mention special tools. Frameless doors have glass that's thicker than their
framed counterparts, so they're heavier, which means installation must follow
extremely specific guidelines. This isn't a DIY project for most people!
No matter
what sort of glass-related project you're taking on, it's a good idea to check
a few things on your list of contractors. Experience is crucial—you want
someone who has literally seen it all, so they know exactly what to do in the
case of unexpected circumstances. Make sure your bids compare closely in scope,
and don't be afraid to ask questions if you need clarification. An honest
contractor will answer your questions openly; they have nothing to hide! Ask
about warranty, whether it covers but materials and labor.
Last but not
least, check references. You'll want to know that previous customers were
generally satisfied, especially if the crew had to tackle any challenging
situations.
Hiring a pro
to handle glass repair or replacement projects will lead to a worry-free
installation plus years of useful life – a good return on your investment.

Know More About Your Commercial Glass Doors
Commercial builder owners and managers as much as you don't want to hear it, at some point one of your windows or doors will fail, whether it begins leaking or breaks. When that happens, you'll want to know what to do for Nashville glass services.
If you look around, you'll see glass seemingly everywhere: you might have a commercial glass door, or storefront windows, tables, mirrors, safety partitions, the list goes on and on. Some good news: glass often comes in sections, so it can be repaired in situation rather than having to be completely replaced, allowing your contractor to work more quickly and efficiently.
If you have to do a full glass door replacement, be sure to hire a pro to do the work. You don't want the hassle of removing and replacing heavy glass components! Besides, a high-quality contractor will board up the area and make it secure.
While you're looking into contractors, ask about options for the glass. Some glass reflects heat and is highly energy efficient. Also consider tempered glass, which has increased strength against cracks and breaks. One option you may not have known about is decorated glass that is etched with your business logo and information. Commercial glass door can also serve as a privacy screen.
Once you know your options, you can make the best decision for your building.

Replace, repair or tint your windows for a new look and better energy efficiency
Replacing your existing glass with insulated glass can make a huge difference in your heating and cooling bills. Insulated glass most often comes in double or triple-pane, designed to provide a more temperate environment for your home, keeping heat in or out depending on the season. Look for window glass replacement panes with a low U-factor, which measures how much heat, passes through glass. Also check the SHGC factor, which tracks how much heat you're gaining from absorbed sunlight. Your residential glass repair company will be able to advise you on the ratings for your various window glass replacement options, allowing you to make an informed decision.
Another option to consider in residential glass repair is window glass tinting. Tinting can provide greater energy efficiency and reduce fading of valuable furniture, rugs, and finishes by blocking UV rays. In addition, the thin coating provided by tinting adds an extra bit of energy efficiency.
Whether you have an historic home and want to preserve the look of your character-defining windows, or a newer home and simply want to match what's there, you'll find you can do it with window glass replacement or residential glass repair. Be sure to find a glass contractor that’s experienced with residential glass replacement of varying types and your investment will pay off for years to come.

Efficient Window Glass Replacement Services and Specifications
Winter’s on its way—is your inefficient doors and windows letting out too much heat and costing you money? Consider contacting a Nashville glass company and looking into glass door replacement or a replacement glass window. New, insulated glass doors or windows can make a big difference in your heating bill's bottom line. Here's a brief guide to replacements:
Check with your Nashville glass company for manufacturer’s specifications on U-factor and SHGC ratings. The replacement glass window or glass door replacement should have low ratings for each of these. The U-factor measure’s passage of heat through glass—with lower ratings being more energy efficient. Lower SHGC ratings mean your replacement glass is reducing solar gain, which in turn means less heat from absorbed sunlight.
Insulated glass is another specification you want to consider. Double- or triple-pane insulated glass will reduce energy costs and give you a more comfortable living environment. Make sure you ask the company doing your glass door replacement or replacement glass window about your specific product. The insulating efficiency of an insulated glass window is determined by the space between the windows and is normally given as the window's R-value. The higher the R-value, the more efficient your window or door! Using Argon gas in an insulated window typically raises the R-value. The type of glass itself can also raise the R-value, and if the glass is coated, it can raise the R-value even more.
Contact a Nashville glass company today and schedule a quote for replacing your inefficient doors or windows—you'll spend a little now, but you'll save for years!

Consider Shower Door Glass Replacement Rather Than Sopping
If you're thinking about replacing your shower door glass, there are lots of options at your disposal. It's important to find a professional who's experienced in glass door repair or glass repair and replacement in order to get the best deal and installation available.
Frameless Shower Door |
Shower doors come in one of two configurations: framed, or frameless. Frameless doors are easier to keep clean (no track or “frame”), but they weigh more because they require thicker glass. They also require specialized knowledge and tools, so if you decide to go with a frameless look, it's imperative to have a glass repair or replacement specialist do the work. Framed doors are much more common they run on a track. They are lighter and generally less expensive. Homeowners can sometimes do this type of work themselves, though often they find it more cost-effective to have a pro handle glass door repair projects, or glass repair or replacement, for a worry-free installation (not to mention warrantied labor!).
