There are a handful of things out there that can break your home’s windows. Bricks come to mind, for example. It is important to take care of your windows and take care when you are around them to make sure you never break the glass.
If you do end up breaking the glass, do not worry. We are a full-service glass and mirror company and we can replace your window panes. We can even upgrade them to dual panes or soundproof panes if you would like more protection.
Force
Let’s talk about the things that can break your windows. Force is one such thing. If your windows are old and sticking and you have to use tremendous force to open and close them, you could break the glass if the window hits the top or bottom of the opening too hard. Forcing the windows open and closed is a sign that you need to replace them. They have warped, and they no longer fit in the window opening or framing. We can replace your home’s windows, too, so call us today.
Play
Play can also break the windows. Whether the kids are outside playing baseball, football, or street hockey, it only takes one wrong throw or slap shot to end up with a broken window. In addition to play, acts of vandalism can also break the windows. We mentioned above that a brick would break a window if thrown against the panes. The same is true with any heavy object, such as a rock, baseball, or puck. Hopefully, any broken window you experience will be an accident.
Stones
Speaking of rocks, you don’t have to throw a stone intentionally to break a window. Did you know that your lawnmower can pick up stones and throw them? Other yard equipment can do this, as well, as can your tires if you drive on your front yard. It is important to be extremely careful when tending to or driving on your yard when you are around windows.
Weather
Finally, inclement weather can definitely break a window. A large hail storm with accompanying wind can not only crack the windows in your home but also on your automobile. The hail can also dent the automobile. Heavy winds carrying small stones can crack your windows or pit them. A branch flying against the window can break it.
If you have a broken window or are looking to upgrade your windows, give us a call today. We would be happy to discuss new windows for your home or business.
