One of our most frequently asked questions, is whether you should repair or replace your old windows.  Each case is different, but we would like to help our customers explore their options for their particular situation.  Sometimes it can be very hard to judge whether a window should be saved or thrown away.  The easiest way is to get a quote from Bell Mirror & Glass, one of our professionals can advise you on your best option for your windows. 

New windows are often very tempting because they have so much to offer.  Smoother operation, lower maintenance, energy savings, fewer drafts and easier cleaning.  If you want to keep your old windows you should consider how much you would benefit from new windows.  Consider:

• Ease of operation- do they lift, swing or slide easily.
• Scraping and painting- Painted windows require regular maintenance, otherwise they will rot and fall apart.  New windows use aluminum or vinyl to eliminate this chore.
• Condensation- Do your windows often fog-up or collect condensation that clouds your view?  Higher-efficiency glass in new windows can significantly reduce this problem. 
• Cleaning- Some windows are so difficult to clean that we avoid it all together.  Some new windows are specifically designed to make cleaning simple.
• Comfort- Single-pane windows can leave rooms feeling chilly and dry in cold weather and overheated in warm weather.  Double-pane greatly increase comfort and temperature control in your home.

Although it seems like a simple task, many aren’t aware of the proper methods for caring and cleaning glass mirrors around their home or office.  I’m sure you’ve seen or heard of the many cleaning products out there, but the truth is, care and cleaning mirrors are actually quite simple.  Refer to the tips below for quality care and cleaning of mirrors from Bell Mirror & Glass.

• The best way to clean glass is to use clean, warm water with a soft, lint free cloth.  If you are using a commercial cleaner, make sure the product doesn’t contain ammonia or vinegar. 
• Avoid using acid or alkali cleaners for cleaning mirrors.  These types of products can ruin the front surface, edges and backing of the mirror after installation. 
• Never use abrasive cleaners on any glass mirrors. 
• Whenever caring for your glass, try and avoid getting the edges or backing of the mirror wet.  If they do get wet, try and dry them off as soon as possible.
• If your trying to remove surface marks or stubborn dirt, it’s best to use 0000 oil-free steel wool.  Avoid using solvents because they can ruin the edges and backing of the mirror.
• If using commercial cleaning products, never spray directly onto the face of a mirror.  It’s best to apply the cleaner to a soft, lint free cloth then wipe mirror.
