What type of glass is used in storm door panels?

• <div><p>Storm door panels are typically made from tempered or laminated glass, and each type has its benefits. Tempered glass goes through a special heating and cooling process, increasing its strength and durability. It’s known for its safety features—when it breaks, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces rather than sharp shards. Laminated glass is made by sandwiching a layer of plastic between two layers of glass. This interlayer holds the glass pieces together even when shattered, preventing them from scattering. </p></div>

Q: Should I buy a custom mirror?

• <div><p>Standard mirrors come in many different shapes, sizes, and thicknesses, so you can often find a great fit for your space without adding customizations. Custom mirrors are ideal if your space has very specific constraints. For instance, you may need a much longer or wider mirror than you can find in a standard mirror. You might also want a custom mirror if you have particular styling preferences, such as a frame with a specific finish or a unique edge. </p></div>

Q: What removes glass labels?

• <div><p>You can use hot, soapy water, white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, window cleaner, nail polish remover, WD-40, and cooking oil to remove glass labels. You can also apply heat with a hair dryer or steam cleaner. Use a plastic scraper or credit card to remove the adhesive, as a razor blade can permanently scratch your glass.</p></div>

Q: How to fix a broken window glass without replacing it?

• <div><p>For small, non-pressure-related cracks, you can fix them using two-part epoxy. This spares you the cost and hassle of replacing the glass. Simply clean the surface and remove any debris or dirt, wait for the glass to dry, then spread an even layer of mixed epoxy solution over the crack. You can use a putty knife or rubber spatula to push the epoxy into the crack.</p></div>

Q: Does smart glass work at night?

• <div><p>Smart glass may still work at night, but it depends on the type of smart glass. Some options, smart tint, are controlled by outdoor heat and light and therefore will turn back to transparent at night. Other types can provide a frosted look for some privacy at night. For example, you can turn PDLC smart glass completely opaque any time, day or night.</p></div>

*LOVE* these guys. Their estimate wasn't the very lowest we received, but we went with them because they don't outsource their work to no-name contractors or large organizations (they are accountable for what they do) and the products come with an unbelieveable warranty - they will come replace...

The woodgrain matched great! We had no problems at all with the installation. Two men put 11 windows in our home in 90 minutes. They saved the plate glass in the bay window for the next day because they also had to replace the wood underneath due to water damage. They trimmed out everything with...
