Best Hudson County Glass Service

October 23, 2017 By admin Leave a Comment

Are you looking for the best Hudson County glass service company for your glass service needs? Most people don’t understand the importance of having a Hudson County glass service on call until they are presented with an emergency situation involving broken tempered glass. Tempered glass is the shatter resistant glass that is often used in windows and smart phone screens. It is stronger than regular glass because of the tempering process which involves heating and cooling the glass in a very short time period. When the glass breaks, it forms small blocks that stick together and are less likely to cause cuts than the tiny shards created by regular glass. If you are having glass installed, consider using tempered glass. Below are some practical applications for tempered glass:

Hudson County Glass Service | Tempered Glass Applications

Always use tempered glass in a door. Doors with windows should always utilize tempered glass. There have been many injuries involving doors with windows with regular glass instead of tempered glass.
Glass shower doors or sauna doors. Water can cause the floor to become slippery, and a slippery floor can lead to people slipping and falling. If you have a glass shower door make sure to have tempered glass installed to prevent serious injury!
Glass in fixed or operable panels that meets all of the following conditions:
– Lower edge is less than 18 inches above floor
– Upper edge is greater than 36 inches above floor
-Surface area of glass is greater than 9 square feet
– One or more walking surfaces within 36 inches horizontally of the glazing
Any glass within walls needs to be tempered. Glass walls, glass railings, or glass barriers must always be tempered glass. If glass is not tempered, you run the risk of people experiencing dangerous or even fatal injuries!
Glass in stairways. If you have a stairwell or landing with glass that is 5 feet of the bottom and top of stairways where the bottom edge of the glass is less than 60” above a walking surface, then you should use tempered glass. Anytime there is a chance that a person could fall into the glass it should be tempered to prevent serious injury.

Why You Should Consider Commercial Window Replacement

February 16, 2016 By admin Leave a Comment

Getting commercial window replacement for your business scares many owners because it is indeed quite the investment. What many people don’t know is that there are actually a few really good reasons why considering commercial window replacement may be a great idea both aesthetically and financially. Here are a few reasons to consider commercial window replacement –

Reasons to Consider Commercial Window Replacement

Lower Energy Costs – Sunshine is a free natural resource that allows you to show off your inventory, brighten your employees’ workspaces, and reduce the cost of heating and lighting. However, if your current windows aren’t airtight and completely intact, you may be inviting more than light into your business. Gaps between your glass and window frame will allow drafts and allergens inside, and your HVAC system must work overtime to make up for it. When we switch out old commercial windows with new commercial window replacement, we make sure the frames and panes are completely sealed against the elements.
More Indoor Comfort – Sometimes you want the option of fresh air and wind exposure because completely enclosed spaces will get stuffy and stale over time. Your customers and employees will love having the option to take in some of that fresh air. Casement windows are an efficient alternative to windows that slide up and down. Because they hang vertically and feature manual, airtight cranks, they won’t compromise the seal of your indoor spaces.
Added Storefront Aesthetics – Your storefront glass says a lot about your business. If you need to attract walk-in customers or assure your clients that you put quality first, discolored glass and dark indoor spaces won’t do the trick. Upgrade your space with a brand new commercial window replacement. Make your entryway look more up-to-date with transom windows above your glass doors, or enhance your waiting room with a clear and unobstructed view of the front office.

Florian Glass Service offers commercial window replacement services as well as many other glass services and products for structures commercially and residentially in the Essex County, Hudson County, Bergen County, Passaic County, and NYC areas in towns such as Hoboken, Norwood, Jersey City, Palisades Park, Short Hills, West New York, Totowa, Ho-Ho-Kus, Lodi, Glen Rock, Leonia, Oakland, Garfield, Hasbrouck Heights, Little Ferry, Manhattan, and many more!

Reflective Glass – What Are its Benefits?

January 7, 2016 By admin Leave a Comment

Reflective glass is glass that has been treated with a metallic coating to allow it to reflect heat. It is not reflective in the sense that it acts as a mirror, although some products do indeed have a highly reflective surface. Rather, it reflects radiation instead of absorbing it. This type of glass is used in environmentally friendly construction with the goal of reducing heat gain and loss, making structures much cheaper to heat and cool over the course of the year. Today’s reflective glasses have evolved and now feature varying levels of reflectivity that create a wide range of aesthetics. Below are some of the benefits of installing reflective glass to buildings:

Reflective Glass Benefits

Color

Tinted, reflective architectural glasses offer better harmonization with spandrels, metal panels, extrusions and other building materials. This color enriched glass transmits generous levels of visible light and offers color neutrality, which also enhances the tint of the glass substrate underneath the reflective coating.

Visibility

Reflective glass also has a special metallic coating that makes it possible to see out, while preventing people from seeing in, in order to preserve privacy during the day. In addition, it makes it possible to hide computer wires, vents, fans, HVAC components and other building mechanicals.

Glare Control

Reflective glass also impacts visible light transmittance (VLT). Reflective glass allows just the right amount of natural light into a building, while at the same time reduces glare and the need for window blinds and other interior shading devices. In addition, reflective solar control glass reflects a portion of incoming solar radiation, which limits heat penetration into the building and can potentially lower HVAC usage.

Exterior Appearance

Reflective glass provides a bold, crisp exterior appearance, along with a dynamic building surface that changes to reflect the color of the sky, the passing of clouds and the different times of day.

Florian Glass Service offers Reflective Glass and reflective glass installation services as well as many other glass services and products or structures both commercially and residentially. They serve the Essex County, Hudson County, Bergen County, Passaic County, and NYC areas in towns such as Hoboken, Franklin Lakes, Jersey City, Closter, Short Hills, Englewood Cliffs, Bogota, Ho-Ho-Kus, Lodi, Bloomingdale, Leonia, Bergenfield, Mahwah, Fairview, Garfield, Manhattan, and many more!

Bulletproof Glass Vs Normal Glass

October 19, 2015 By admin Leave a Comment

Bulletproof glass actually isn’t bulletproof nor is it a glass. This is because with enough time, enough effort and a big enough caliber bullet, the bulletproof glass can eventually be penetrated and will break, hence is not really being bulletproof glass. The strength and the durability of the bulletproof glass will depend on how it is made and the thickness of the laminate glass. Let’s talk a bit about what makes bulletproof glass different from normal glass.

Differences Between Bulletproof Glass & Normal Glass

Bayonne Bulletproof Glass | Hudson County Glass Service

Normal glass will shatter when one bullet is fired at it. This is because glass can’t bend and absorb the energy of the bullet, so the bullet just passes through, losing a very small amount of energy as it breaks the glass.

Bulletproof glass is made up of layers of glass and a plastic layer, usually polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is a transparent, soft, ductile plastic with very high strength and is a sixth of the weight of glass. Because the polycarbonate is soft, it is able to deform and stretch by taking the energy from the moving bullet. If the first layer does not stop the bullet, it will pass through to the next polycarbonate layer and maybe even the next layer, but eventually enough of the energy from the bullet will be absorbed by the polycarbonate causing the bullet to slow down so much that it doesn’t have enough energy to pierce through the final piece of glass.

If the bulletproof glass is too thin, and the bullet does make it through, it is likely that enough energy has been absorbed from the bullet that it won’t do much damage on the other side of the bulletproof glass.

The strength of bulletproof glass depends on how many layers of glass and polycarbonate there are, with more layers resulting in a thicker piece of bulletproof glass. A shot from a rifle would produce more force than a handgun so the bulletproof glass would need to be thicker if it needed to resist rifle fire.

Typically bulletproof glass ranges from 7mm to 75mm in thickness, however as the 75mm piece of glass will be very expensive and very heavy, it’s only used in extreme cases. Also the thicker the bulletproof glass the less transparent it is, which can cause problems if the glass is used for the windshield of a car.

Although the layers of glass within bulletproof glass can break, the polycarbonate layers which are bonded to the glass prevent them from shattering and flying apart, and so the whole structure remains intact, unlike normal glass where the pieces scatter all over.

Florian Glass Service offers and installs bulletproof glass and many other glass products and structures commercially and residentially in the Hudson County, Bergen County, and NYC areas in towns such as Hoboken, Jersey City, Union City, Rutherford, West New York, Secaucus, Hackensack, Wyckoff, East Rutherford, Kearny, Bayonne, Saddle River, Fort Lee, Alpine, Manhattan, and many more!

Reasons to Consider a Glass Roof

Insulated Glass Units – Perks of Having Them

August 12, 2015 By admin Leave a Comment

Jersey City Insulated Glass Units | Hudson County Glass Service Insulated glass units, also known as IGUs, usually consist of 2 or more panes of glass separated by a spacer material and sealed together at the edge. The insulating airspace is filled with air or a gas. While standard single-pane windows are effective weather barriers, they are not not the best insulators. Insulated glass units go a step further, helping to prevent loss of heat in the winter, or excessive heat gain in summer.

Insulated glass units work by having a space between two or more panels of glass. Since the inner space isn’t a great conductor of energy, the entirety of insulated glass units acts as an excellent insulation system, meaning less energy is transferred between the interior and exterior of the structure. Here are some of the advantages of insulated glass units:

Pros of Insulated Glass Units

Faster cooling or heating times compared to single-pane alternatives.
Enhanced indoor retention of cool air in summer,or warm air in winter. This puts less strain on heating systems and air conditioners.
More consistent internal temperatures, offering greater levels of comfort to people in the building.
Reduced noise from both inside and outside.
Insulated glass units increase property value.
Decreased energy loss due to unwanted draughts.

Florian Glass Service offers and installs insulated glass units and many other glass products and structures commercially and residentially in the Hudson County, Bergen County, and NYC areas in towns such as Hoboken, Jersey City, Union City, Ridgewood, West New York, Secaucus, Guttenberg, Teaneck, East Newark, Kearny, Cliffside Park, Saddle Brook, Essex Fells, Fair Lawn, Englewood, Millburn, Tenafly, Fort Lee, Alpine, Rutherford, Manhattan, and many more!

Shower Screens – Cleaning Solutions

July 16, 2015 By admin Leave a Comment

Shower screens and glass shower doors sometimes seem almost impossible to get completely clean. Your shower can be perfectly spotless but if there is still a residue build-up on the shower screen, then this can leave your shower looking dirty and uninviting. Using harsher chemicals for shower screens isn’t something that some people ideally want to do. Luckily, there are several more natural cleaning solutions that will work on cleaning your glass shower screens without posing health risks to you and your family.

Things That Clean Shower Screens

Hoboken Shower Screens | Hudson County Glass Service

Magic Erasers – Magic Erasers are fine like fibers that power through grime without the use of any chemical detergents. Simply activate with water and wipe over the glass and that soap scum will come right of the shower screens.
Fabric Softener – By adding one cup of fabric softener to one liter of warm water is an effective way to get rid of that residue and soap scum on glass shower screens. Wipe the mixture on the door and then rinse it off with warm water from your shower. If you happen to have a dryer and have dryer sheets handy, then wipe the dryer sheets along the shower door. This can also remove the soap scum.
White Vinegar – White vinegar is the one item that every household should have. It is effective and safe in cleaning a number of different things and shower screens are no different. Put white vinegar into a spray bottle and spray onto the shower door. Scrub the mixture onto the screen with a Non Scratch Scourer Scrub before rinsing off with warm water.
Bicarbonate of Soda – Bicarb is another great cleaning solution that will not only clean showers and shower screens, but also deodorize your bathroom. Wet shower screens before wiping them down with baking soda on a cloth. You can expect a paste to form on the door when you mix the baking soda with the water. Rinse off with warm water after.
Lemon Juice and Salt – This is the most effective option if your glass shower door frames are made out of metal. Over time you may notice that rust forms which can make your shower look dirty and old as well. Combine one tablespoon of lemon juice to two tablespoons of salt and form a paste. Using a toothbrush, scrub the mixture into the corners where the rust is forming. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.
Lemon Oil – Another good household remedy to keep the soap residue at bay is lemon oil. Simply spray lemon oil (orange oil works too) to the door and buff it off with a cloth. However, don’t use this technique too often as it can cause some damage. Every two weeks should keep your shower looking fresh, clean and smelling much better too.
