Friday July 9, 2021 Update

We hope everyone had a great Fourth of July weekend last weekend, and that this weekend will still be fun! Here at the Shoppe we have been working hard as the temperatures start to rise! In fact, many glass manufacturers have to shift their schedule to tempering glass in the evenings because of how hot the machines get (and to give the grid a bit of a break!) It is interesting how certain industries have to shift for the weather. We are very fortunate to not have to deal with snow or tornadoes.

So, since we have the heat of summer to contend with, our clients are able to get new windows for better insulation from the heat and glass shower enclosures for showers so they can cool off. Both of which are available through our local shop.

We're halfway to Christmas! So maybe we're dreaming of cooler weather sometimes, but we are enjoying the sun and the surprise patches of rain. Summer is here and we are here for your glass and mirror needs! Summer heat is a big issue in Southern California, and while we can’t help you with your air conditioning, we can with insulation; specifically, windows! For our clients with single pane windows (or damaged dual pane), we can replace them with new dual pane, vinyl retrofit windows. The added layers of thicker tempered glass, air, and more glass provide a much better buffer from the elements than a single piece of glass. This will help keep your home cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter, and quieter from sounds of the outside. Our window page here has more information and pictures to give you a better idea of what we do.

Of course, our artistic minds couldn’t suggest windows without suggesting some art glass windows! They are great for any window, but you will see them often decorating the sidelight of a front door or adding privacy to a large bathroom window. We can use textured or privacy glass, sandblast a design, or use stained glass to create a lead and bevel design, some color, or full color!

We have some new products coming up which we will share in our blog here. So check back often for new items and to find out what is happening at the Shoppe!

We celebrated Penny’s birthday this week! (Well, as much as possible as it has been busy!) We are so happy to have such a kind and thoughtful owner that puts others before herself. So here’s to you, Penny!

Penny and the first sign we got for the shoppe!

In other news, the Shoppe continues to work hard through all repairs, installs, windows, showers, doors, and much more. We are glad to be busy but can feel the strain the quarantine has put on everything and everyone. Thankfully, our clients understand that things are taking a few days longer than usual sometimes, but the work will get done!

We hope everyone has a lovely weekend and are able to stay out of the heat and humidity.
