Tips for Replacing The Glass in Your Greenhouse

Whether you are building your first greenhouse from the ground up, or need to replace some glass that has been damaged, you will no doubt find yourself considered the benefits of different glass types. There has been some recent debate about the comparisons between polycarbonate and glass, but glass proves that it is the better option. Talk to your local glass replacement team in Adelaide about the features that will help to improve your greenhouse’s function.

There are several things you will want ideally in greenhouse glass. You will want it to let in plenty of sunlight while also hopefully helping to maintain a constant temperature. You will want it to be very strong, as the structure is made almost entirely out of glass. There are different glasses for walls and roofs, as these components are under different amounts of stress. Finally, in the event that something does shatter, you will want a glass that keeps you safe from severe injuries.

So firstly, we need to find a glass that allows optimum temperature and light. The point of a greenhouse is to enhance the natural amount of light that plants receive, thus making them thrive. The medium of glass magnifies the effect of entering light, and then traps it inside. Annealed glass, which is the everyday glass we are all familiar with, should be avoided. This very thin, and is prone to shattering when the temperature changes rapidly, something which is a common condition in a greenhouse. When it does shatter, it is into dangerous shards. Tempered glass is a far better choice. This type of glass is made via a specific cooling process so that there is a tension between the surface and internal stress. The result is a very strong glass, almost six times more so than annealed glass in fact. Tempered glass is suitable for roofs and walls.

Glass Replacement in Adelaide

There is one small downside with tempered glass, which is that it can still break. It is a lot safer than annealed glass, as it shatters into little cubes rather than the razor sharp shards, but breaking at all is not ideal. Laminated glass is actually two panels fused together and then covered with a layer PVB. This double layer combined with the plastic coating means that it is great at increasing heat and light inside the greenhouse, as well as insulting it to prevent heat loss. The plastic coating serves to keep the pieces in place, should your glass be struck with something. Car windscreens and windows are typically made from laminated glass for safety reasons.

The choice is up to you, but it is really between tempered glass and laminated glass. There is a slight downside to laminated glass which is that the seals can perish after only five years or so in extreme heat conditions and will require replacement. To minimise this, you will want to apply coating which minimises condensation moisture. It should be said that you can install double pane or single pane tempered glass. Double pane obviously improves the insulation significantly, and so it is a wise choice for larger scale projects which are concerned with keeping heating and cooling bills low. Smaller, amateur, or greenhouses with less fussy plants can get away with the cheaper option of single pane glass for both walls and roof.

If installed correctly, glass greenhouse materials will outlast any other. Glass also looks far more striking compared to polycarbonates, and makes the greenery the hero. Get in touch with the Famous Glass Masters in Adelaide at Q Glass and Glazing

Solve Your Window Problems

Windows can suffer a variety of problems over the years, from minor sticking to being completely shattered. Learn how to overcome these issues first with repair, and if necessary with quality glass replacement in Adelaide.

If you find that your windows are particularly stiff, or simply will not open at all, then you will need to take a look at what has been going wrong. More often than not, the wood can swell slightly in hot or humid weather, and instead of shrinking back to normal, it can warp and make opening your windows difficult. Another reason that your windows can stick is if you have recently had them painted and did not leave them open for a couple of weeks. Even if the paint looks dry, it could fuse with another surface when shut. Take a look at your windows from the outside, and specifically inspect the seal. A chisel and hammer will be needed to gently chisel away at the seal until it can be opened. Then, examine the sash track and ensure it is clear and well lubricated. If the putty is hardened and is the cause of the obstruction, then it needs to be removed. First, brush some linseed oil over the affected area and allow it to soak in. This will make the putty more malleable and easier to remove. Sandpaper the surface down if it is rough or uneven. Stiff windows can also benefit from an oiling of the hinges from time to time.

Glass Replacement in Adelaide

Broken window panes are a nightmare. The shattered pieces are incredibly dangerous for anyone in the area, and cleaning the space can also be tricky. The open hole can let in wind and rain, causing damage to the inside walls and keeping your awake at night. A broken window is also of course an open invitation to burglars to come in and take what they please. The good news is that it does not take long to replace a broken window with a brand new pane of glass and prevent all these problems. First, you will need to remove any jagged edges of glass that remain in the frame. Wear protective gloves and have some sheets of newspaper on hand in which you can wrap the pieces before discarding them. If you would rather a professional handle this in the safest possible way, then section off the area and call for a glass replacement team to visit. They will remove the old glass before they begin.

Fitting a new pane is probably a task best left to the professionals, as it requires some precise measurement, practical skills and access to specialised equipment and materials. For example, the new pane needs to be precisely the correct size, which is slightly smaller than the frame itself, so that there is room for expansion and contraction in the different weather conditions.

Another common issue is with small chips in your window pane. Anything from kids playing with toys to seeds being churned by the lawnmower can cause these little imperfections on both sides of the glass. While most people will prefer to get the glass replaced in this instance, some might just want a quick fix to minimise the impact of the flaw. Some DIYers have advocated dabbing some clear nail polish over the area to fill the hole, waiting for it to dry, and then reapplying until the hole is filled. Keep in mind that this process will not overcome the weakness of the hole, and to prevent further damage the best idea is to replace the entire window.

Make A Bold Design Statement With A Central Glass Atrium

Modern glass in Adelaide homes is a key design element these days. We love to see homes embrace huge windows, balustrading and even skylights. What is less common, though looks spectacular when completed, is the inclusion of a central atrium in new designs.

Some may be surprised to know that the architectural concept of the atrium dates back to Roman times. It seems just like with so many other things, they were way ahead of their time on this one. An atrium is a central column which an open or glass roof which allows natural light to pour into the centre of the home. It forms a central courtyard at the ground floor. The walls of the atrium can be made of normal housing materials like brick, which holes or windows to allow the light in. More commonly however we are seeing structures created with four glass walls which really spread the light throughout the entire property.

Because of all of the sunlight, and sometimes water if the top is left open, an atrium can be the perfect spot to grow plant life. This is a smart design choice for those on small locks looking to use the most space possible but still wanting a little outdoor spot to sit. An atrium courtyard can be densely surrounded by thick green foliage to offer privacy and exoticism.

Glass in Adelaide

One of the little problems that can arise with such a cavernous column in the middle of the home is with privacy. You can imagine that with the open plan living we tend to prefer these days, that there could be some issue here with bedrooms or when people come to stay. Also, you never know how much your neighbours can peek in. For these reasons, it is good to add a layer of privacy. As mentioned earlier, some foliage can do the trick, but it can also cut out some of the light that you want to keep flowing in.

One solution to this is to choose the glass you use for your atrium very carefully. Instead of just picking the any old transparent window pane, think about the consequences of adding a twist to your glass. Maybe a slight coloured tinge could be all the obscurity you need. A frosted or dimpled texture could also give just a silhouette shadow which is a big step up in privacy. You will want to talk to your architect as well as visit some glassing suppliers to see the options that are available. Before making a commitment, see if you can see your chosen glass installed somewhere in person, or take home a sample so that you can better visualise the end result.

Now, choosing a dimpled or frosted glass will probably reduce the amount of light that gets through very minimally, but by opting for a double glass or extra thick style you can improve your insulation which will stop the heat and light from leaving. Indeed, even for if you use normal glass; it makes far more sense to use a double thick, insulative glass.

The best part about a glass atrium is that it completely opens up all of the space you have available. By being able to see right through form one end of the house to the other instead of having walls separating everything, the area seems bigger and more appealing to buyers. Get in touch with the resident glass experts in Adelaide at Q Glass and Glazing on http://qglassandglazingadelaide.com.au when you are ready to begin discussing your atrium project.

Take Care of Your Glass in Adelaide The Right Way

One job that is difficult to execute properly in your Adelaide home is glass cleaning. Despite your best efforts, it can be hard to get your glass looking streak free and fabulous. If you spend a lot of time window cleaning, but struggle to get the results you want, then try the following tips below.

Use distilled water
Many novices don’t realize that when it comes to cleaning glass, it’s all about the tools, rather than the amount of effort needed. Most of the time, people put off window cleaning because of all the reaching and wiping required. The elbow grease required to clean a window, often seems wasted when the result is streaky glass, despite your best effort to clean them. Fortunately, the answer to crystal clean windows isn’t more effort, but actually it’s all about the products you use. Most people blindly use tap water, thinking that is will help with the cleaning process. In reality, these people are wrong. Tap water actually contains a lot of minerals that can effect the clean. The better option is to use distilled water, which will create a nice, clean wash that doesn’t leave any streaks.

Test out the vinegar
You may not realize, but you most likely have a multipurpose cleaning sitting in your pantry. The good old vinegar actually works a treat on a range of dirty surfaces, including windows. Simply mix half water and half vinegar into a spray bottle and spray it on your windows and wipe it. To ensure a sparkling, streak free finish, wipe the windows off with some newspaper. The print on the newspaper has this amazing ability to dry the window perfectly, leaving it crystal clear.

Reduce suds
Funnily enough, an abundance of suds does not equate to nice, clean windows. In fact instead, it does the opposite and leaves the glass full of streaks. If there is a circumstance where the glass is overtly dirty and soap is required, it’s important to keep it to a minimum.

Toss out the paper towel
Many people favour paper towel to assist with the window cleaning process. In fact, it’s often a part of their window cleaning kit. Unfortunately, paper towel is actually detrimental to the glass cleaning process. When it is wiped across the windows it leaves linty streaks, which is what you want to avoid. A much better alternative is a microfiber cloth, a squeegee, or even better newspaper. In the instance where you pick newspaper, make sure you equip yourself with gloves to avoid getting ink on your hands.

Give it a buff to finish off
Unfortunately, no matter how hard you try you are always going to end up with a few streaks. If you have tried all the above steps and streaks have still occurred, try the following solution. All you need to do is finish off the clean with a quick buff. Using a microfiber cloth or chamois that is dry, buff the glass as your last step. This will make those annoying streaks disappear for good.

Now you know how to clean glass effectively, why not upgrade some of the glass in your home or office? The team at Q Glass and Glazing are specialist glaziers that install and Repair Glass Around Adelaide.

The Tips and Tricks to Prepare for Glass Replacement in Adelaide

When it comes to glass replacement in Adelaide, it’s important to act with hast. A broken window, shower screen, or even glass can happen quickly and needs instant attention. To ensure you or your family aren’t put at risk, follow the glass cleaning tips below.

1. Household safety
Treat the site of the glass breakage like the scene of a crime. It sounds a little over the top, but if you live in a house with young kids and pets, they you’ll need to cordon the area off. You don’t want little feet stepping through the glass and getting shards embedded into feet, so make sure you don’t skip this precaution.

2. Personal safety
Now it’s time to protect yourself. No matter how careful you are, when there is broken glass around you can find yourself somehow accidentally getting it in you. To avoid this risk, wear proper shoes and cover your hands in thick rubber gloves. This will stop any changes of glass getting into your feet or hands.

3. Go for the big pieces
You will notice when glass shatters there’s no uniformity about it. There will be a mixture of big pieces and those that are so tiny you can barley see them. Before you begin picking up pieces, lay down a wad of newspaper. This will be the area you will be moving the broken glass too. With your gloves on, carefully pick out the big pieces from the pile and put them on the newspaper. If you prefer not to use your hands, you can utilize gardening tongs, to make the move easier.

4. Use your vacuum
Many people favour a broom over a vacuum when cleaning up glass. While you may be more use to using your broom, this is actually a very bad mistake. A broom can pick up small pieces of glass in its bristles, which can then stay there. Later on when you go and sweep, you can end up spreading glass all around the room. With a vacuum, however, it simply and efficiently sucks all the shards of glass out. The bag can then be removed and disposed of safely.

5. Don’t forget the tiny pieces you can barley see 
Despite all your best efforts to suck up the remaining glass, there will be tiny pieces you have missed. To ensure these aren’t left on your floor, you can either use bread or sticky tape to pick them up. It may sound silly, but bread can be very helpful in the cleaning up process. Owing to its spongy nature, you simply press the bread into the ground and it will cleverly pick up the small shards of glass. You can also try the same method with sticky tape if you prefer. 

6. Clean down
Once you are sure you’ve got rid of all the glass, give the area a wipe down with a damp cloth. Make sure you don’t forget about your vacuum and shoes that have helped out. These should be wiped down too to ensure there is no remaining glass. Once everything is clean, wrap up the shards of glass in the newspaper and dispose of it in a double-layered garbage bag. Make sure you place it in your outside garbage bin, so the glass doesn’t remain inside.

Now it’s time to think about replacing the glass. If it was just a cup, then it’s pretty easier, however, if it was a glass fixture in your home, talk to the professionals at Q Glass and Glazing. Visit their website to find out more about their Glass Replacement Services in Adelaide.

Glass Balustrading is Child Friendly

When it comes to arranging a professional glass repair visit in Adelaide, some people begin to second guess their choice to use glass in the first place. Especially if something has happened like the panel has shattered, then this can be unsettling, especially if there are small children in the house. Despite this, glass is an incredibly safe material to use for balustrading, and in fact this repair could be the perfect opportunity to upgrade to the latest advancements. For balconies and stairwells alike, glass is the ideal balustrading for safety and style.

Glass can initially invite negative and dangerous connotations. It can be sharp, it can break and it is fragile. While these adjectives may be true for decorative glass, these days they could not be further from the truth for practical uses of glass. Balustrading is a functional feature, and so glass used for it will be thick and tough, and may even have anti-shatter qualities. Some glasses are designed to crack in two upon impact rather than a million tiny pieces, whereas other will be coated in an invisibly film which hold all the pieces together if there is an accident.

Secondly, glass is smooth to the touch. Other balustrading material may consist of bars or crevices which children can climb up on. Host family lunches and events on the balcony in comfort without worrying about your child slipping out of your sight for a second. There is no place for children to get a hold of, meaning that it remains as an effective boundary even in the presence of cunning children.

Glass Repair Adelaide

Furthermore, it prevents little arms and legs from getting stuck. We know that children love to poke at, dangle their legs over and just grip anything they can, and it can result in tears. Prevent this unfortunate and dangerous situation by choosing smooth, practical glass for your balcony surround. Glass is of course transparent, which help parents keep an eye on their kids all the time. Avoid frosts or textures which may offer privacy but could provide grip and block the view. Even other materials which are not solid, such as iron bars or timber slats can still obstruct the view.

A final point is that people assume glass is sharp even when it is not broken. Obviously when it is used for balustrading, it is expected that people might lean on it or brush up against it, and so the edges are smooth and safe to touch. Just because the balustrade is secure does not mean that children should be left unattended on balconies. Always have a responsible adult nearby when young children are around, and keep any climbable objects such as chairs and tables away from the edge. Also enforce a walking only rule to prevent any accidents. Install a reliable door lock on the door to the balcony to make sure no one slips out unattended.

Furthermore, you can opt to have your glass balustrade tinted to prevent UV rays from harming littles ones who are enjoying the outdoors for long periods of time. There really is no downside to the incredible safety features of glass balustrading. Just because your balustrading may need a repair, this does not mean that it is not safe for children, just ensure that the repair makes it even safer. The next time you need work, either on your balustrade or any other glassware throughout the home; you must rely on the best in the business.

Benefits of installing glass pool fencing in Adelaide

Installing glass pool fencing is the perfect option for those Adelaide homeowners concerned about the appearance of their outdoor area. Pool fencing has earned a bad name in the looks department. It is often labeled as ugly and most think it detracts from the overall look of the pool area. The trouble is pool fencing is mandatory in Adelaide and must be installed, even if it doesn’t look amazing.

If you are looking for pool fencing that does not ruin the look of your home, glass pool fencing is the perfect option for you in Adelaide. Below we have outlined the main six advantages of glass pool fencing.

Visual appeal
There’s something sleek and sophisticated about glass pool fencing that you just cannot beat. Most glass pool fencing is beautifully sculptured, featuring perfectly curved edges that look stunning. Unlike wooden or tubular fencing that blocks out the actual pool, glass fencing allows you to see into the pool directly. This not only heightens the visual appeal but ensures you can keep an eye on your children while the splash around. Glass pool fencing is the perfect way to ensure your pool area is safe, while not detracting away from the beauty of the outdoor landscape.

Feels more spacious
Glass pool fencing has the magnificent ability to make your outdoor area look and feel more spacious. With the fencing highlighting the beauty of the pool and allowing it to be fully viewable, it creates the feeling of a large space. Most pool owners will find that when they install conventional pool fencing, like tubular pool fencing, it makes the pool area look cluttered and can actually make the area look smaller. This is why glass pool fencing is preferred for those who are conscious of the appearance of their outdoor area.


Low maintenance
When you look at sparkling, clear glass pool fencing you often think it must take a lot of work to keep it looking so good. Surprisingly though, it is actually considered low maintenance. Unlike wooden and metal pool fencing that rusts and rots over time, you won’t have any trouble with glass fencing. All it needs is a quick clean with a cloth and glass cleaner and it will last a lifetime.

Safety
In accordance to South Australia law, all pools must be adequately fenced. The great thing about glass pool fencing is that it not only ensures you meet safety regulations but it also provides you with the best visibility possible to supervise your children. Rather than having to sit within the fencing, you can recline in the remaining outdoor area, while watching your kids swim. Furthermore, with Glass Pool Fencing in Adelaide there is a reduced risk of children gaining entry to the pool by climbing over the fencing. With tubular fencing for example, determined children can climb over using the twisting metal to grasp and pull themselves over. Conversely glass pool fencing is slippery and is very difficult to climb over.

Enhance your furnishings
For many homeowners the appearance of their outdoor area is very important. Many people spend a great deal of money making their outdoor area look good. After having a pool installed and the rest of the outdoor area landscaped, most people want fencing that will enhance the look. Glass pool fencing is the best way to compliment your outdoor area. It allows the natural beauty of your backyard to shine and doesn’t detract away from these visually appealing elements.

Durability
Many people worry that their glass pool fencing will break. With kids running in and out, it can be a worry but there’s no need to fear when it comes to glass pool fencing. The glass used in the pool fencing is specially treated and toughened to ensure it is an suitable thickness. The only way glass will break is if the glass is hit with extreme force, which is often very unlikely.
