When most people think of glass in Auburn, Bellevue, Kent, Renton, Seattle, WA, and the surrounding areas, they typically think of the windows in their home or commercial space. At InstaGlass LLC we definitely do window glass, but we also do a whole lot more with glass installation. From doors and skylights to large atriums and even specialty glass products like bullet resistant glass and impact rated glass, as well as commercial entrance glass and more, we have installed a variety of different glass panes in nearly any shape that you can imagine. Having glass in doors, skylights, and even basic windows provides ample natural light to the interior of buildings, and this is a desirable feature that most people want. Artificial light can be harsh to work and live under, especially for extended periods of time. Contact us today to learn more about having a glass installation done at your property.
Are Two Panes Better Than One
Many people wonder if it really makes a difference if the windows in their home or office have just one pane of glass or two panes of glass. Unequivocally, the answer is yes, having two panes of glass (or more) in a window provides much more insulation for the building when compared to a single pane of glass. When you compare the thickness of your walls to the thickness of a single pane of glass, it becomes obvious that a single pane just doesn’t have the insulating properties that your wall does.
Having windows in your home is a trade off between allowing natural light in your home and having a large area that has less insulation. Adding a second or even a third pane of glass helps with the insulating properties of the window as it slows down the heat and cold transfer. Many times you will see that a special gas is inserted between the glass panes, and this gas helps to further reduce the transfer of energy through windows.
Broken Windows Can Be Repaired
This is an important point that most people need to be reminded of. If one of your windows breaks, you don’t usually have to replace the entire window. Instead, we are able to remove the broken panes of glass, get replacement glass, and then reinstall the new glass in the existing frames and seal them up. Doing this kind of glass installation will end up being a lot faster and less expensive that doing a full window replacement.
Glass installation can cover a wide range of applications in Auburn, Bellevue, Kent, Renton, Seattle, WA, and the surrounding areas, including windows and doors in homes, shower glass, fire glass, atriums, and a host of other specialty applications.
