Windows are expensive, and when one isn’t functioning correctly in a commercial facility, replacement can be costly. This is especially true for large or custom windows, which many commercial facilities have in place. Rather than assuming a window needs to be replaced, in order to save money, it’s important to see if Commercial Window Repair in St. Louis MO is possible. There are many things a service can do to save a window from full replacement.
Replace a Single Pane of Glass
When a piece of glass is shattered, there’s no repair that is going to make it whole again. However, if the window is comprised of many panes of glass, either in traditional grids or specialty patterns, it’s possible to replace that single pane rather than the entire window. This can be huge cost savings and save time as well.
If a window is a specialty pattern, it will be necessary to have the glass custom made. This can be more expensive than standard panes but still less expensive than replacing the entire window. A repair service will be able to seal the area with the missing glass to protect the building interior while they are getting the replacement piece ready.
Repair Cracks and Chips
Where Commercial Window Repair in St. Louis MO really stands out is when a window has a small crack or a chip. These can often be repaired, and this can be done onsite so the glass doesn’t have to be removed.
Resigns are used to fill in chips and cracks and are then cured into place. The service will clean up the surrounding area and, in most cases, it’s impossible to see where the chip or crack was in the glass.
Sealing a Window
Often, the failure of a window isn’t the glass but the seal around the glass. This is a quick repair that can make a window energy efficient and help to reduce outside noise from being heard in the building.
New Window Installation
A commercial repair service can also install new windows. They can replace an old inefficient window or install windows in a new building.
If your windows are letting air in or out, are cracked or chipped, or are just inefficient, there are options. To learn more about your options, Visit the Website and see what kind of repair or replacement is available today.
