July, Summer BBQ, and Patio Doors

July has just started, and with it a major barbeque holiday! America celebrated its independence with friends, family, and fireworks. Everyone enjoyed the long weekend and we are back to work. But the sunny weather and kids off of school mean the barbeques are not over! And this is where we come in.

How do you and your party goers get to the BBQ? Through the patio door of course! And if you are still using the original single pane, aluminum framed sliding door, it could be time for an upgrade. These old style of doors can get hard to slide over time and break down from years of use. Plus, and single piece of glass is not as strong or insulating as a dual pane unit. With vinyl retrofit sliding glass doors, the old aluminum door is removed, and a new vinyl framed unit with two sealed pieces of tempered glass is installed. This improves safety by using stronger glass, and insulation due to the two pieces of glass and the insulating gap in between them. A Low E coating can also be added which helps reflect the UV rays for doors getting too much light!

Well we survived Halloween and the new month is here! We are adjusting to our new space nicely and feeling refreshed in the remodeled space. It was a lot of work, and there is still more to do, but we are happy with the results. Plus, the last weekend of the Escondido Renaissance Faire is this weekend, along with the Carlsbad Street Fair on Saturday! It is so exciting to see events coming back.

We were able to reuse our tabletop made of rain glass as a skylight for our…skylight! Plus, some types of art glass doors are on display right as you walk in! Plus, we have a brand new sliding glass patio door to let the fresh air in!

Another lovely week in Carlsbad Village in sunny Southern California!

In between our spots of rain, our clients have been improving their windows. We can replace old, leaky, and failed windows with new vinyl retrofit windows. This is great for replacing single pane aluminum frames to something with a cleaner look and dual panes for sound and temperature isolation. Check out our window page here for more information and to see some of our work.

Vinyl retrofit also applies to patio doors. With dual pane tempered glass, they are more secure than a single pane of raw glass. Plus you get the increase insulation and the same fresh look to match new windows!
