Commercial Storefront Window Replacement in Mission Viejo, CA

In Southern California, heat-induced fractures in glass windows are not uncommon occurrences, especially when outdoor heaters are used in close proximity to the glass, as was the case with this project in Mission Viejo. The rapid temperature change caused by the heat source can lead to stress on the glass, resulting in cracks and breakage. This particular incident involved a large pane of laminated safety glass, which shattered due to thermal fracturing caused by a nearby propane heater used for outdoor dining at a restaurant.

To address the issue, the customer opted to replace the broken laminated glass with tempered glass. Unlike laminated glass, which consists of two thinner layers held together by a plastic interlayer, tempered glass is made from a single, thicker layer that undergoes a special heat treatment process. As a result, tempered glass is significantly stronger and more resistant to thermal breakage, making it a preferred choice for applications where durability is crucial. Additionally, tempered glass is more cost-effective than laminated glass, particularly for large panes, offering both performance and affordability benefits for window replacement projects.

By replacing the laminated glass with tempered glass, the customer in Mission Viejo ensured enhanced durability and safety for their windows while also enjoying cost savings.
