| What is the best lubricant for my windows and patio doors? |
| The best lubricants for windows and patio doors are silicon based sprays as these will not collect and hold the dirt that oil based sprays (like WD-40) will. |
|
| I have trouble sliding my patio door. |
| Maybe the door's wheels are broken or ceased and need to be replacement. |
|
| My windows are really drafty in the winter time. |
| First make sure that all the windows are shut tight, even a small crack can make a difference. If still drafty, the window may need new weather stripping and sealing. |
|
| I have a thermal window but its drafty and its all foggy inside the two pieces of glass. |
| The window's seal is broken and the window needs to be replaced. |
|
| Oil is leaking from my stairwell door closer. |
| The seals are gone in the closer and it needs to be replaced. |
|
| There is a gap between where the glass sits and the window frame and the glass edge is showing. |
| The glass has shifted and needs to be removed and properly reset. |
|
| What is the difference between tempered glass and laminated glass, are they both safety glass? |
Yes both Laminated and Tempered glass are considered safety glass.
Tempered Glass is hardened glass. The glass is cut to the required size and then put through a heating process to harden it. The result is glass that is approximately four times harder than its annealed version. When tempered glass breaks, it shatters into small pellets, reducing the chance of causing any serious injury.
Laminated Glass is two or more pieces of glass, stuck together. When laminated glass breaks, it is held together by the laminate that is sandwiched between the two pieces thereby reducing the chance of causing any serious injury. |
|
| Can tempered glass be cut? |
| No!! Tempered glass is cut to size before it is hardened. After which if you attempt to further cut the glass is will shatter. |
|
| How do I know if my glass is tempered? |
| There should be a etched stamp in one of the corners that say tempered on it. |
|
| Do you provide 24 hours service? |
| No. |
|
| My door is slamming/ not closing all the way. |
| The door closer needs to be replaced. |
|
| Front lobby door is dragging and not shutting. |
| There are a few possible causes for this problem. The door pivots may need to be adjusted or replaced. Another possibility is that the glass might need to be reset. |
