Of course there are many ways to get a broken window, but there are only a few ways of dealing with it. Should you remove that broken window yourself? Or, is it better to call a glass expert?
A few years ago, removing a broken window and reinstalling a new one may have been a no-brainer. But with the sheer amount of window frames on the market home owners are less likely to have the skills needed to do it themselves. Window frames made of wood, metal, and composite materials…(not to mention single, double, insulated, low-E window panes and more) require an installer who is knowledgeable enough to handle these different materials precisely for the window to be fixed properly.
When your windows aren’t installed properly you risk several different important factors. First, if you have any kind of warranty on your windows, you may make it void by attempting to treat a broken window yourself. Secondly, if it is not done correctly, your window may not be able to properly keep out the cold or keep the heat in. This loss of energy efficiency can really hurt you in the long run when your utility bills run higher and higher. Lastly, unless you really know what you’re doing you may hurt yourself when dealing with a broken windows. Save yourself a trip to the emergency room and unnecessary medical bills and call a glass expert.
