In our article, you'll learn the signs it's time to replace your glass.
Worsened Cracks and Other Damages
Small cracks become major problems when it is not repaired since it becomes worse over time.
It may not look like it, but additional damage could shatter a window or glass fixture! This could pose a real danger to anyone near it or happen to be the one to cause it. You don't want this outcome for your family or place of business.
Likewise, damages to a window's frame bring about its own set of problems. Drafts let air leak out/in, raising your energy consumption and bills. Likewise, damaged frames mean bugs can get in, potential water damages, and so much more.
Get in touch with a glass specialist in the Scarborough area the moment you see damages. Quick action can be the difference between a replacement or a simple fix.
