Q: What makes a window fail?

• <div><p>A window may fail because of age, defective mechanisms, or moisture. Depending on the issue, the window may be fixed with simple repairs. Otherwise, you&rsquo;ll have to invest in replacing it. You can avoid damaged windows but keeping up with <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/window-maintenance-tips.htm">window maintenance</a>. </p></div>

Q: What's the biggest custom mirror I can buy?

• <div><p>You can purchase standard mirrors up to 98 by 80 inches or larger custom mirrors. However, larger mirrors often need to comprise more than one piece of glass.</p></div>

Q: Can you see through glass block windows at night?

• <div><p>You can still see vaguely into some types of glass block windows at night. Although there won&rsquo;t be clear definitions, passersby may still see shapes, shadows, and movement through the glass. If you want complete privacy, consider installing diamond glass block windows rather than the typical clear or wavy glass blocks.</p></div>

Q: What should you not clean mirrors with?

• <div><p>You should avoid multi-surface cleaners, bleach, and any cloth or scrubbing material that has a rough surface when cleaning mirrors. Multi-surface cleaners and bleach will get smudges and debris off of the glass, but they more often leave behind cleaner residue because they don&rsquo;t evaporate like a glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Additionally, any abrasive material or even the scrubbing side of a sponge can scratch your glass or coatings on the glass, gradually making the mirror look hazy.</p></div>

Q: How often should you clean your mirrors?

• <div><p>You should dust your mirrors once every one to two weeks as a part of your normal cleaning routine, and you should plan on cleaning with a glass cleaner or DIY cleaning solution once a month or so. This will help reduce the buildup of hygiene products like hair spray on the mirror, as well as oils and dirt from fingers. You can always spot-clean between regular cleanings if you notice your mirror getting dirty or smudged.</p></div>

"I was on the market for a security system and this one seemed easy enough to install.......went through the process and some of the window sensors were not working. I called Customer Support who was very friendly and we went through the entire process again...this time other window sensors did not work. This went on for a week or so...then the door senors stopped working....than the motion sensor stopped working...at no time in over a month did I have a fully operational security system. As I was about to return the system I was told they have "new" sensors and they just realized they received a bad batch and are working with another company.....Gave it a try....and same issue returned....some sensors worked....some didn't. I finally returned the system and stopped getting emails.....only to find that they were still billing my credit card even after I returned the equipment. Very nice people and very understanding.....unfortunately their product is not up to par. While we do have a large home, it's an open concept and the sensors that weren't working were no more than 15ft away from the base. The previous owners of my house had a wireless system with no issues at all.....I'm going to be using that company going forward."

"Bruce from Shutter Up was amazing to work with. I originally got a quote from them a few years ago, then the priority for shutters got pushed down on my list until recently. He gave me a deal on the new price (more in line with the price from a few years ago) because I came back to them. The quality is fantastic, the choices in color and finish are great, and the installation process was quick and easy. Would definitely use them again!"
