Keeping your windshield in good condition is crucial for the safety of you and your passengers. If you have a cracked or damaged windshield, don’t delay.
Windshield Replacement
Windshield replacement is the process of removing your old windshield, old bonding agents (adhesives), trims, gaskets, and then installing a new one. This procedure restores the vehicle’s structural integrity to its original manufacturer’s standards and provides an added safety feature.
To ensure a proper windshield installation, your technician will use the best tools and materials in a professional manner. This includes applying the new bonding agent at the correct temperature and utilizing the right kind of equipment.
The process typically lasts 30 minutes or so, but it can take longer if the installation is done incorrectly. Once the adhesive is dry, your installer will lay the new glass down in a precise manner and make sure it is perfectly aligned with your car body.
It is important to get a windshield repair as soon as possible to prevent further damage that could cost you more money in the long run. Keep your windshield as dry as possible, and try not to drive if it is raining or sprinkling outside.
Window Repair
Window damage can range from a small crack in a single pane to an entire window replacement. Our experienced technicians know how to fix these problems and make them look like new.
The most common type of damage is when a pane breaks in half or a hole opens up. Whether it’s the result of a stray baseball or thrown projectile, this is the kind of problem that you’ll want to repair as soon as possible.
Another common problem is when seals break between double panes. This happens due to heat induced contractions and expansions, which eventually degrade their integrity.
Once the seals are broken, it’s hard to salvage a pane. Moreover, the frame of the glass will need to be removed in order to replace it with a new one. This makes replacing the entire window more expensive.
Home Glass Repair
The windows in your home play a crucial role in energy efficiency, curb appeal, and safety. That’s why you should take good care of them.
If you have broken window glass, contact Auto Glass Specialists in Miami FL for a fast and convenient repair service. We can reseal the crack, replace broken pieces of glass, and ensure that your house’s interior is safe and welcoming for you and your family.
Step 1: Measure the height, width, and opening of your broken pane. Write these measurements down so you can order the correct size for your new glass.
If you can, order the pane of glass at least 1/16 inch shorter in all directions than your old one. This will allow the glass to fit properly into the frame. Next, use silicone caulk to seal it into place. Test fit the glass before you set it in place to ensure that it fits correctly. This will prevent water leaks and reduce energy costs.
Insulated Glass
Insulated glass is a type of glass that has an inert gas like argon or krypton filling the spaces between the panes. This creates a barrier that significantly reduces heat transfer and thus increases energy efficiency in your home.
This insulated glass technology is commonly used in windows, doors and mirrors. It is also known for its noise reduction capabilities.
A typical insulated glass unit consists of two panes of glass separated by a spacer bar with holes in it; a desiccant to absorb moisture, a primary sealant and secondary silicone sealant.
Insulated glass is the perfect choice for any home, office or commercial building in Miami FL. It’s a great way to reduce your energy bills, decrease your heating and cooling costs and enhance the overall ambiance of your property. It’s also a great investment that can pay off in the long run.
