Insulated Glass Windows and Doors

Insulating glass is two or more plies of glass enclosing a hermetically sealed air space. Inherently, insulating glass increases a window’s thermal performance by reducing the heat gain or loss.

Insulating glass units are double sealed with a primary seal of polyisobutylene and a secondary seal of silicone. To provide a hermetically sealed and dehydrated space, the glass plies are separated by a desiccant-filled spacer with three bent corners and one keyed-soldered corner or four bent corners and one straight butyl injected zinc plated steel straight key joint. The desiccant absorbs the insulating glass unit’s internal moisture.

Typical configurations of insulating glass units.

Insulated Glass

When specifying insulating glass, it is important to select and clearly define the configuration as well as each individual components of the insulating glass unit.

PlexiGlass Milford MA MetroWest

Plexiglass
Plexiglass Sheet is a glazing, signage, window or display material that is unaffected by moisture, and has a high strength-to-weight ratio. Plexiglass sheets offer high light transmittance and can be heat-formed without loss of optical clarity. “Plexiglass” is a common reference term for acrylic sheets. When spelled as Plexiglas® (one S) it refers to the Arkema brand name. When spelled as plexiglass (two SS’s), it’s not brand specific and is considered as generic acrylic sheet. We stock & sell plexiglass.

It provides a clear view, lends shape and brilliance to a variety of objects, protects against rain, hail and stormy weather, withstands extreme pressure and heat, is break-resistant and faithfully reflects the world in all its color.

Bevel Edge Mirrors

What is a Beveled Mirror?

Bevel Edge MirrorIn the world of mirrors, the line between functionality and artistry may not be a line at all. Instead, it’s an edge – a beveled edge, to be specific. A plain mirror is just a reflection of what you put in front of it. A beveled edge adds life and character to something that on its own has no distinctiveness.

Custom Beveled EdgesTo get a better sense of what the beveled style can bring to homes, there are decorative advantages of frameless vs. framed. A bevel is defined as an edge that’s not perpendicular to the face: it’s an angled edge, but not a right or 90° angle. Nor does just any finished edge qualify as a bevel.

Size isn’t the only distinguishing characteristic of a bevel’s style. Beveled creations include some beautiful, decorative edges such as double and scallop beveled designs that lend a jewel- or ribbon-like quality to the border.

Beveled Mirror Round CornersThe scallop bevel of a modern bathroom mirror also forgoes the linear, creating a fluid edge that charmingly complements its graceful arch.

For home decorating with bevels, frames limit where the item can be used. Beveled edges allow you have a style and a color that will not clash with something else.

How to properly clean your glass windows Milford, MA

Admiring Sparkling Clean WindowsGlass Windows look best if they are cleaned on a regular basis, at least twice a year on the inside and outside. Here are some useful techniques for cleaning windows:

  • Wash one side of a window with horizontal strokes and the other side with vertical strokes so you can pinpoint which side of the window has a streak.
  • Use a squeegee on a long handle or a sponge/squeegee combination to prevent streaks on large windows.
  • Eliminate tiny scratches on glass by polishing the affected areas with toothpaste.
  • Washing windows should be done on a cloudy day, because direct sunlight dries cleaning solutions before you can polish the glass properly.
  • Use a soft toothbrush or cotton swab to clean corners. ­ ­

Chalkboard EraserTo give an extra shine to window glass, polish it with well-washed cotton T-shirts or old cloth diapers. Or, rub a clean blackboard eraser over a freshly washed and dried window to give it a diamond-bright shine.

You can also polish windows to a sparkling shine with crumpled newspaper. The paper also leaves a film that’s resistant to dirt.

Wash windows from the top down to prevent drips. Remember that window cleaners pose a threat to woodwork. Don’t let them drip on the windowsill where they can harm the paint or varnish.
