Happy Thanksgiving

A very Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Century Glass. We so value our customers and the relationships that we have made through the years. Thank you for choosing Century Glass.

 

It's a common complaint - there's a window at home that looks foggy or cloudy. Why does this happen and what can you do about it?

When a window or glass door becomes foggy, it typically means the seal has been compromised and allowed moisture in between the panes. This often happens with older windows. Seal failure tends to happen more quickly on the side of the home that gets the most sun as the heat can accelerate the break down. Sunlight can also make the cloudiness or fog more visible.

So what can you do about it?

Call the experts at Century Glass. We know how to repair windows that have been infiltrated by moisture because of a seal failure. You don't have to replace your whole window. Let us come out and see if we can fix the problem first.  Trust your windows to the glass experts - Century Glass.

Special Savings on Updating Your Bath!

The bathrooms of yesteryear were often overlooked as functional rooms without much style.  That has changed greatly over the years with the importance of the master bathroom following only the kitchen in resale evaluations.

So what to today's baths look like?  Here are some of the trends builders and remodelers across the nation are reporting.

White and off-white remain the top color schemes followed by beige or brown. Rising in popularity are colors in the grey family.

Granite has typically been the go to surface material but quartz is narrowing the gap dramatically.

Ceramic tile flooring remains the most popular floor option followed by natural stone flooring.

New bathrooms are better lit - both with natural and artificial light.

Grab bars, once only installed on an as-needed basis are being requested more frequently. Many at-home accidents occur in the bathroom and as the Baby Boomers age they are planning ahead with safety in mind.

His and hers vanities are extremely popular even in smaller baths. Storage options are essential with more drawers and dividers being incorporated into the layout.

Let Century Glass help you create your perfect bath with an updated shower. Come see our new showroom for ideas.

Low Iron Glass

Did you know that almost all glass plates come with a green tint? You may not have paid much attention but basic glass has a distinct green tint, especially when viewed from the edge. During the glass creation process, iron is used as a lubricant and creates a green tint. Depending on the thickness of the glass and what the glass is used for, the tint may be more evident.

When designing your frameless or semi-frameless shower, talk to Century Glass about their low-iron, extra clear glass option. We proudly offer this alternative for those with discerning taste in their custom shower selections. Low-iron glass -  it's a difference you will see....clearly!

Spruce Up Before the Holidays

It's hard to believe but the holiday season is just around the corner.  For many people that means entertaining family and friends. Let Century Glass help you prepare your home for guests with our residential home services including window repair and replacement.

One of the most common complaints with older windows is that they begin to get foggy and lose their clarity. When this happens many homeowners think they have to replace the whole window - but wait! Century Glass has the experience and expertise to  assess the problem and make the best and most affordable recommendation for your particular situation, which may not be replacing the whole unit. Let us come out and look at your windows and provide you with a risk free quote. Plus all of our residential window replacements come with a 10 year warranty!

Don't wait until the season really gets busy to get your home in order. Call Century Glass and set up your free consultation today!

Thank you!!

We had to take a moment and thank everyone who joined us at the Breast Cancer walk. The Century Glass Walkers made a great showing!

There were over 8,000 participants total!

Here are a few photos from the event.

Introducing the Essence Shower Door

Century Glass is pleased to announce the addition of the Essence Shower Door system to their already large selection of shower door options.

The Essence door uses less hardware than even typical frameless systems to create a sleek, modern look without the metal frames or hinges. The Essence is a header-free system allowing for a more consistent glass look with its unique bottom rail system.

Have a small bath? The Essence can  make it look larger!  Need to update your look? Go with the Essence to create your own spa at home!  Contact Century Glass to find out more.
