Your home is your castle. It’s a place where you feel safe, comfortable, protected and at ease. A similar statement is true of your business. It’s the building where you provide goods or services to your clients and have belongings of value that are associated with that business. In both cases, you want to be sure that your possessions are safe from theft and damage that can result from acts of nature.

Whether you have just a few well-placed windows in some of the rooms on the street level of your home or there are many rooms with a variety of windows, the investment into double glazing for all of these windows is worth it. The difference between single pane and double glazing panels is that you have two security panels that provided added measures of keeping your home safe.

When it comes to security, the ability to keep summer heat and winter winds out of your home is definitely a form of security that also helps to lower the cost of your utility bills. You can also avoid the expensive replacement of single panes when they get accidentally broken. Double glazing can be on security glass which means burglars will be in for a surprise when they attempt to break these sturdy windows.

Being away from home is natural when it comes to work, vacation or just running errands around town. You shouldn’t have to worry about your home being safe while you are away. Investing in ways to beef up the security on your home can start with the windows. Many times a beautiful window is admired by passersby and taken special note of by deviants. Your gorgeous picture windows in the living room deserve to be double glazed and to provide you with the safe, secure and beautiful view that you’ve grown accustomed to.

Some insurance companies also realize the value of double glazing windows. You may be eligible for a discount on your homeowner’s insurance just because you have these windows with the extra security measure built in. The same holds true for your place of business; especially if the building is located in an area that is prone to high crime or frequent break-ins.

There are many different styles and types of double glazing windows available. The best way to start your search is to take advantage of the Internet resources. You can see many of the choices available in virtual tours that let you get a close up look at the various materials and features. Additionally, many contractors belong to organizations or have affiliations that allow you to gain access to many individuals all through one location.

Make sure that you take very accurate measurements for online quotes or those that can be provided over the phone. This will ensure that the prices you are quoted reflect the proper amount. Get as many quotes as possible, include those from contractors who are willing to come to your home and take the measurements themselves. The best price may not be a local contractor but it will be someone who guarantees their work and can show references from satisfied customers.

How To Clean Glass Windows in Eight Easy Steps

Leave a comment

TAYLOR, Mich., December 17, 2008—Wallside Windows—the largest retailer/manufacturer of windows in a single geographic market in the United States—has listed eight steps to follow whenever you face the task of washing the windows in your home:

1.    Prepare a cleaning solution of one capful of ammonia in 2 gallons of water or 1 cup of vinegar in one quart of water.
2.    Dip a cloth, sponge or chamois in the solution, and wring it out to almost dry. You want just enough solution to cover the window without flooding it.
3.    Wash the surface of the window with the sponge, paying special attention to the sides and corners of the window frame, where dirt and grime tend to build up.
4.    Dip a squeegee into a bucket of clean water. Press the squeegee lightly into the surface of the window, starting at the top and pulling down vertically, stopping a few inches before the bottom of the window.                                      
5.    Wipe off the squeegee with a paper towel. Press the squeegee down the area of window directly     beside the one you just cleaned, stopping at the same place (a few inches before the bottom of the window).     
6.    Continue this process until the entire surface of the window except the final few inches at the bottom has been cleaned. 
7.    Pull the squeegee horizontally across the bottom section of the window and then wipe the squeegee off with a paper towel.
8.    With paper towel or newspaper, dry off any water collected at the bottom of the window frame.

Additional Tips:

  • Avoid washing windows in direct sunlight as they tend to streak.
  • For hard-to-reach windows, squeegee extension poles are available at most hardware stores. 
  • Be careful not to drip cleaning solution on varnished woodwork, as it can damage the finish.
  • Do not wash windows with a high-pressure spray – the pressure could crack or displace the caulking around the window.
