If you’re looking for a way to make your home feel larger and more luxurious, then custom glass and mirrors are the way to go. There are so many different areas around your home that can benefit from great mirrors or glass pieces, but there are a few parts of your home that can benefit the most from the addition of glass or mirrors. Here are three ideas for custom glass and mirrors in your home.
1. Glass Tables
Glass tables are a beautiful addition to a dining room, living room, or even a foyer or bedroom. But many people have trouble finding the right glass design, shape, or size for their glass table. Having a custom glass table cut for your home makes it easy to bring glass into any room and have it fit perfectly. Replacement glass tabletops are also great in the event that your current glass table breaks.
2. Bedroom Mirrors
If there is one place in your home where you should have a large mirror, it’s your bedroom. Not only will large mirrors make your room feel larger, but they also are very functional and can help you assess your outfits, apply your make up, or get your tie just right before a day at work.
3. Kitchen Cabinets
If you’re looking for a way to spruce up your kitchen without expensive cabinet or appliance replacement, then consider only replacing part of your cabinets with custom glass. They’ll make your kitchen feel homier, larger, and fresher. Plus, organizing will be much easier if you can see through your glass cabinets without them having to be open!

With all of the dust and debris that can accumulate on a car windshield in just one day, it’s easy to think there’s no reason to bother trying to keep your windshield clean. Yet a sparkling clean windshield is one of the keys to a safe and enjoyable ride. Using effective cleaning products and giving your car the right kind of care can help keep your windshield clean and protected from elements that could otherwise damage it.
Choosing Windshield Glass
To promote a clean and healthy life for your windshield from the get-go, choose a durable anti-scratch material that can save you several trips to the window repair and replacement shop. For an extra layer of cleanliness and protection, have your windshield waxed when it is first installed.
Regular Cleaning
Depending on where you live and recent weather and driving conditions, the number of times per week that you should wash your windshield varies. Typically, two to three washes per week and a thorough rinse whenever you have your car washed will keep your windshield sparkling clean.
There are several glass cleaners available for you to choose from. To ensure that the one you use is appropriate for your car’s windshield, ask at the window replacement shop where you most recently had your windshield repaired or replaced.
After-Clean Treatment
After cleaning the glass, you should either clay bar your windshield or use a liberal dose of rubbing alcohol on it to remove any dust or dirt particles that may not have become unstuck during the cleaning. Following this, you can apply Rain-X or another product that will cause water to bead as soon as it hits your windshield.
Prompt Windshield Replacement
If your windshield is damaged, take it to a local window replacement shop as soon as you can. Some small chips and cracks can be repaired, but repair and replacement are both tasks you should entrust to a professional.
Are you looking to have your windshield replaced with one that will provide you with good visibility on the road and an incentive to keep it clean? If so, call A & A Glass today at (800) 868-8518.

Broken glass is unsightly, it exposes your home, business, or automobile to the elements, and it is a major safety hazard. Since cracked glass can become broken glass with just a tiny bit of pressure, it should be replaced as soon as it is detected. Check out this article to find out more about why cracked glass should not be left to shatter.
Keep a small maintenance issue small.
A crack in a window is not a major problem in itself, but it can quickly become one. By having cracked glass repaired or replaced, you can prevent the crack from spreading to nearby glass.
Protect your family and pets.
Broken glass is a mess. As glass is shattering, it can shoot several feet in any direction, endangering anyone in the near vicinity. After glass breaks, the danger of injury still exists until every last shard has been removed from nearby carpeting or tile. Even worse, cracked glass may catch the attention of your pets or little ones, inviting them to step right into a dangerous situation. All of these potential dangers can be avoided by having a professional replace your cracked window before it has the opportunity to shatter.
Stay safe on the road.
Driving with a cracked windshield is unsafe and can end up being costly in the long run. In addition to shielding drivers from insects, birds, and flying debris on the road, your windshield provides protection in rollover accidents and even prevents unbelted passengers from being ejected. Cracked windshields are more susceptible to damage than windshields that are in a good state of repair, so having your cracked windshield replaced usually means long-term savings.
Keep your energy bill low.
Cracked windows can impact your home’s or vehicle’s insulation. Have damaged windows repaired or replaced to avoid losing heat as warm air escapes through the crack.

Having cracks or chips in the glass of your windshield can be dangerous. Replacing your windshield now may be your best option. Here are a few examples of when you should replace your windshield:
1. Auto Accident
If you’re involved in a serious auto accident, then glass replacement is almost inevitable. Getting glass replacement at a dealership can be incredibly expensive and may not even be worth the cost of the service. Working with a reliable and independent auto glass replacement service is likely to be more affordable and produce results that are just as good.
2. Selling Your Car
If you’re selling your car, then you should do everything you can to make sure your car is as attractive as possible. But in addition to taking care of the auto body, engine, and interior, you need to play special attention to the auto glass as well. The cost of auto glass or windshield replacement may be recouped by what you make on the car, and you’ll probably find you can sell the car much quicker.
3. Weather-Related Cracks
South Jersey, Delaware, and Philadelphia are known for their brutal winters. But in addition to being too cold for people, East Coast winters are often too cold for your windshields as well. Auto glass can be very sensitive to cold temperatures, and small cracks in your windshield can turn into large cracks with sudden changes in temperature.
If your windshield or other auto glass needs replacement because of these or other reasons, then contact the auto glass replacement professionals at A&A Glass. We specialize in all types of auto glass, as well as home and business glass repair and replacement in Philadelphia, South Jersey, and the Delaware Valley. To learn more, visit A&A Glass online or call (800) 868-8518 today.
