Angel's Glass & Mirror

We recognize that severe weather patterns don’t avoid the area just because you’re in between paydays right now. Let’s talk about the different options available for repairing your windows that won’t take too big of a bite out of your budget.

Glass can be made of a wide range of materials, including aqueous solutions, ionic melts, metallic alloys, molecular liquids, and polymers. Polymers include acrylic glass and polycarbonate and are a lighter alternative glass.

Are you concerned that the damage recently done to your windows during a severe weather event is going to be beyond your budget? Since some windows can be repaired instead of replaced, it may cost less to deal with your window damage than you think.

If you are preparing your home for foul weather, it is not a good idea to tape your windows. Tape does not strengthen the window and forces the glass to break into long shards rather than smaller, less dangerous pieces. Cover them with shutters or plywood.

Mullioned windows are named for the thinner mullion support that's built between the two windows. These began showing up in the 900s. Windows at the time were made of pieces held together with lead, so creating stained glass patterns was a natural next step.
