At Prime Glass Windows we have extensive experience with glass doors and know what it takes to keep these beautiful doors looking and functioning their best indefinitely.
To get the most from the glass door gracing the front of your commercial location we highly recommend you take a moment to inspect your doors regularly. It doesn’t take any special skill or technical know-how to tell if your glass doors are working well or not. Furthermore, it is far easier and more cost effective to keep your door functioning perfectly, than to apply repairs and replacements in an emergency.
From our wealth of experience in the matter, here is what we can tell you about the most common issues that glass doors face:
Water Leakage — water leakage is one of the most common issues with glass doors and windows. Because this small issue can lead to even bigger issues, it is essential that these leaks are dealt with quickly. Sometimes the issue is very small, but water that is entering due to faulty door seals, gutters, skylights and blocked weep holes can cause water damage and costly repairs.
Air leaks — sometimes air leaks are caused by shoddy installation work, cracking or broken seals and even manufacturing flaws. But no matter the cause, air leaks deteriorate your insulation, leading to thermal inefficiency and the high energy bills they can cause.
Broken or Cracked Glass — despite the strength and hardness of glass doors and windows, they can crack and even shatter when impacted with excessive force. Cracked and broken glass is a danger to customers, employees and the general public and should be addressed immediately.
It is a good idea to take a minute to inspect your doors and windows sporadically and certainly after a heavy rain. If you notice any of the aforementioned issues, call us up right away to perform a full inspection and maintenance work to prevent these issues from resulting in more expensive repairs in the future.
