COMMERCIAL GLASS REPAIR 

COMMERCIAL GLASS REPAIR & REPLACEMENT

Windows are critical to the appearance and function of a commercial building or home. They serve to let light in, protect against the elements, supply fresh air, and more. When they start to show signs of failing, it’s time to assess whether they need to be repaired or replaced.
The experts at Extreme Glass Ltd. can assess windows for structural integrity to determine whether a window can be repaired or it needs to be replaced.

Determining Whether Your Windows Need to be Repaired Or Replaced

Extreme Glass Ltd. is always happy to drop by to assess your windows but also offer these tips for evaluating them on your own. Common indicators your windows may need to be repaired or replaced are:

• Cracked or broken glass
• Heat loss or gain
• Leaking
• Stuck upper or lower sash
• Cracked, crumbling or rotten muntins (strips separating panes of glass)
• Problems with the putty connecting muntins to the glass pane
• A missing or rotting drip cap (flashing over the top of the window that prevents moisture from seeping in from above)
• Issues with trim — loose, cracked, rotting, or missing

Evaluating Energy Efficiency In Your Commercial Building Or Home

Windows affect temperature regulation in homes and buildings. If you are concerned about your building’s energy efficiency, it’s likely time to have your windows assessed. A best-case scenario may mean repairing the windows, while replacement may be the only option if windows are too damaged.
Compromised windows will often result in the loss of warm or cool air, which usually means high heating or cooling costs for your home or building. Window repair or replacement can help to address these costs. While window repair is a more cost-effective option, a replacement can be the best choice, especially when considering the longevity of the home or building.
If you checked off one or more of the indicators, or you’re concerned about the energy efficiency of your windows, contact us today to discuss the repair or replacement of your windows.
