Double glazing and secondary glazing are two different types of glazing services that bring similar benefits to your home or business building. While both services allow you to save on energy costs and provide a sturdier window structure, one method may be more suitable for some building owners than the other.

Double glazing is the entirely new installation of a double glazed window, and a double glazed window is a type of window that is made with 2 panes of glass separated by a thin layer of non-toxic air. Secondary glazing, however, is when a second pane of glass is added to an existing window structure to gain the benefits of double glazing without an entirely new window installation.

If the existing glazing already in place is sound, a secondary glazing may be of some benefit. Secondary glazing is often less expensive than a double glazed window installation, and if the existing glass is still sturdy and sound, this may be all that is needed to gain all of the benefits that come along with dual glass panes.

While installing double glazed windows may be more expensive, it can also be necessary if the existing windows are older or weaker in their structure. Older windows that are susceptible to damage may break, and this could defeat the purpose of the secondary glazing altogether, and in these situations having double glazed windows installed is always recommended.

At Emergency Glazing London, our glazing London glaziers are knowledgeable and experienced in both types of installations, and they can provide the insight you need to know which may be more suitable for your home or business. Upon inspection of your windows, one of our glaziers can explain which method would be more beneficial to your budget and your building, leaving you with new glazing perfectly suited to your needs!

When a commercial establishment in or around the London area has a glazing emergency a number of risks become present. A broken window will create sharp and dangerous glass shards in and around a building, as well as a security risk with a portion of the building being left open and accessible for unauthorized persons or the elements. While safety glass may still leave a portion of the building open, it is sturdier than other types of glass to lessen the risk of a glazing emergency, and it breaks into cubes rather than shards to avoid injury.

Broken glass shards can really create a serious situation that puts both employees and customers at risk. Because glass is transparent, the shards created after a glazing London glass emergency are very difficult to see, and their varying sizes make them difficult to detect both inside and outside of a commercial building. Safety glass is made to break into small cubes that don’t have the same sharpness or safety risk that shards have, and these windows are created to be tougher than the average window.

Glazing emergencies can happen for a variety of reasons, and these can vary from manmade situations and those related to weather. If a tree falls near a commercial building due to high winds, and a limb crashes into a window, a hazardous situation can occur without warning or by no fault of staff or employees. A safety glass window will be able to hold up better to these types of surprise incidents than standard glass, and this will keep your commercial establishment safer during all types of conditions.

At Emergency Glazing London we install safety glass for a wide variety of different commercial establishments all throughout the London area. We completely realize the importance of added security and how this relates to all of the traits that safety glass have to offer. Safety glass can improve the running of any type of business, and it is one building upgrade that is worthy of consideration.

Shop front glass is an important part of any retail establishment, as these are the windows that allow potential customers to see into your store and decide whether or not they’d like to stop in for a closer look at your inventory. When shop front glass is broken, it poses a series of hazards to your establishment, your customers, and your employees, and when this happens it is crucial that this glass is replaced as quickly as possible.

The process of a shop front glass replacement will first begin with cleaning and securing the area from any sharp shards of broken glass. When a window breaks, shards will often scatter both in and around an area in sharp pieces of multiple sizes. Also, due to the transparency of the glass, these shards can be very difficult to see and the cleaning of these pieces should always be left to professionals. Unknowingly coming in to contact with a shard of broken glass can result in the need for emergency care, stitches, and a risk of infection. When we perform a shop front replacement at Emergency Glazing London, we make sure that the first step we take is ensuring your safety.

After all pieces have been cleaned, a window will then be boarded up to secure an area. A broken shop front window leaves inventory, cash, and sensitive documents exposed to potential intruders or the elements, and this lack of security is something that needs to be remedied as soon as possible after a window breaks. Boarding up the window can provide the security a shop needs before the complete window replacement can be made.

The day after clean-up and boarding, the replacement of the window will then begin. There are various types of windows you may choose from at Emergency Glazing London, and a shop owner can even choose a window type that offers a bit more security to better avoid another breakage scenario. At Emergency Glazing London, we know all about glazing London glass, and no shop front glass window is too much for our repairs!

While windows allow light into a room, and provide a way for customers and building occupiers to see in and out of a building, the right windows can also provide a sense of style and elegance to any home or business. From patterned glass to stained glass, glazing London glass in these ways can add something very special to your building.

Stained glass can come in a myriad of different colours and patterns, and home or business owners can create intricate or simple stained glass patterns to go along with their interior or exterior décor. At Emergency Glazing London, we perform glazing repairs and refurbishments to all types of stained glass windows to make sure they remain looking their best for many years to come. Should a glazing emergency occur with a stained glass window, we can have one of our expert glaziers London area professionals to your building within the hour to secure, clean, and repair your stained glass and get it looking better than ever in no time!

Should your patterned glass break, we are happy to make all of the repairs necessary to keep your home or business secure, while also restoring the glass to its original beauty.

We at Emergency Glazing London recognize and appreciate the different style elements that stained and patterned glasses bring to a home, business, or any other type of establishment.

Upgrading to double glazed windows is one of the wisest investments anyone can make in their home, and at Emergency Glazing London we fully support double glazing London glass. A double glazed window is more secure than a single glazed window, and they provide the energy benefits that windows with a single glazing cannot.

To understand the benefits of double glazed windows, one must first understand what creates a double glazed window. With a single glazed window, a single pane of glass separates the outside from the inside, and while these types of windows are often perfectly sufficient in terms of security and function, they don’t provide the same security and energy benefits of a double glazed window. A double glazed window is made of 2 panes of glass which are separated by a thin layer of nontoxic gas. Often argon or oxygen, this nontoxic gas provides a third layer separating one’s indoor area from an outdoor area. These 3 layers help to keep the warm and comfortable air inside as it keeps the outdoor air outside, and this helps heating and cooling systems working at a healthy and low level.

When heating and cooling systems are forced to work harder to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, not only does this waste energy but it also wastes money as well. When more energy is used, this energy needs to be paid for, and as heating and cooling systems work harder one must also pay for the excess energy needed to allow this to occur.

In terms of security, double glazed windows also provide 3 layers to keep a window secure, rather than the single layer offered by a single glazed structure. With a single glazed structure, a single chip or crack to the outside of the glass can lead to an entire glazing emergency. Double glazed windows have dual panes of glass, which creates double the security when compared to their single glazed counterparts.

We at Emergency Glazing London glazing are experienced with double glazing London glass and we perform installations all around the London area!

At Emergency Glazing London, we work to install, repair, and renovate many types of London home windows. Our glaziers London based professionals can do a myriad of different jobs, and installation is just a small part of what we do. Some of the home windows we offer for installation are:

• Leaded glass – Leaded, or stained glass, is great for providing some aesthetic glazing to your home. This type of glass can be made in a variety of different colours and patterns to suit any personal taste or décor.

• Double glazing – Double glazed windows are a very popular option right now, as they provide energy efficiency benefits as well as sturdy windows. Double glazed windows use two panes separated by a layer of non-toxic gas to create a triple barrier between indoor and outdoor areas.

• Secondary glazing – Secondary glazing allows you to create a double glazed window out of your single glazed windows, as a secondary layer of glazing is added to already existing window structures.

• Velux windows – For homes in busy urban areas, getting sufficient sunlight into the home can be difficult with standard windows. A velux window is placed in the ceiling to allow light to come in from above, allowing you warm natural light even in a congested location.

• Patterned glass – Much like leaded or stained glass windows, patterned glass is used for windows with a bit more style.

• Sash windows – With a classic London appeal, sash windows are also a popular option for those who wish to have functional windows that bring style to the home.

There are different types of windows suitable for different styles and needs, and whether you want glazing to provide aesthetic appeal to your home, glazing to add to your energy efficiency, or glazing to let in more natural light, our glaziers at Emergency Glazing London have you covered.

As a customer, you should pay for the glazing job you want, and your glazier London area glazing company should listen to your wants and concerns in order to make sure you get the best job possible. Because a company’s success is based on customer satisfaction, it should be the priority of the glazier to provide the most satisfactory job possible to ensure all customers are left happy by their glazing services. When it comes to glazing, and choosing a reputable glazier service, a little communication is key to making sure the customer remains king.

The best glazing services will listen to what their customers have to say in all aspects of their glazing project. Whether they are looking for a repair or a new window installation, the concerns of the person paying for the job should always be treated with importance, and any reasonable wants should be met to be sure that the customer is receiving a job they can be totally happy with. When a person calls out a glazier to their location to talk about a future project, they should make sure that the glazier is taking into consideration their wants for the project, so they can pay for a glazing service that makes them proud of the new glazing in their home or business.

If a glazing service seems to push customer wants off to the wayside, or refuses to come up with solutions to reasonable customer concerns, then it may be time to find a new glazier who will respect the person paying for the job. In the world of glazing, the customer should always be king, and the glazier should always want to make customers feel appreciated and respected with each new project they perform. At Emergency Glazing London, we know how important it is for the customer to receive just the job they want, and our glaziers will always take each and every customer concern to heart!

When getting any type of job performed on the home, or the office, a time frame is usually given to let customers know just how long it will take for the job to be completed. This time frame can vary depending on the specific job at hand, and customers can use this to rearrange or re-plan their schedules accordingly in order to allow the job to be completed without distraction. For many types of services, glazing London glass included, a section of a home or business will often need to be cordoned off for safety while the professional works to get the job done, and someone will need to be present within the building while the professional is at work.

When a reliable time frame is given, the special needs that come along with the job can be accounted for. For instance, if an office building is receiving a new glazing installation, employees can be moved elsewhere for the duration of time it takes to finish the project, and they can continue to work in safety until their area is back open again. This may cause some workspace cramping or inconvenience, but it will only last for the scheduled time frame, and once the project is over, all can go back to normal again. However, if the time frame given is unreliable, and the project takes significantly longer than expected, these employees will be faced with a great deal of inconvenience.

Reliable time frames are also important in home based glazing projects as well, especially because home owners will often need to take 1 or more days off from work in order to be in the home while the glazier works. With a reliable time frame, the home owner can give their employer the notice he or she needs to allow them the days off, and they can get back to work promptly and without issue.

At Emergency Glazing London, 95% of all of our projects are completed within our scheduled time frame, and we strive to bring our customers a convenient glazing service!

Glazing jobs are some that should only be left strictly to professionals in the field, and due to the dangerous nature of working with glass, attempting a glazing project yourself can put you at risk for personal injury.

Some of the most important reasons to hire a professional glaziers London based glazing company are:

• Quality installations – While it’s easy to install a window incorrectly, it takes a professional to know the best way to install a window that will last and remain safe for the duration of its life. Glazing installations are not only dangerous to the untrained amateur, but they can make for a dangerous situation for all occupants of a building should the installation leak or break while people are inside.

• Proper window function – Windows should allow natural light within a space while keeping the too cool or too hot air out, and a window installation done by an untrained person can lead to poor window function. Poor window function creates a myriad of other problems for home and business owners, and it can even lead to heightened energy costs.

• Safety – The most important reason to hire a professional glazier specializing in glazing London glass is safety. The entire process of a window repair or installation is a risky one, as a person is exposed to difficult to see and sharp shards of glass. Only a professional will know how to repair, replace, and install windows properly and safely, and this benefits all occupants of a home or business building.
