Orange County Window Cleaning And It's Four Types Of Glass
Orange County window cleaners regularly work with a number of different types of glass. Additionally and not surprisingly, one of the most common mistakes clients make is assuming that window cleaners work with just one type of glass and that cleaning different buildings requires just one technique. Nothing could be further from the truth however as different types of glass require not only different chemicals but different techniques as well. There are actually several different types of glass that I deal with regularly.
Annealed Glass: This type of glass is actually fairly easy to clean and is also extremely durable with regards to cleaning. This type of glass can be cleaned using a razor blade or scraper to remove debris, water, soap, and other chemicals won't come off. Best of all it it can be cleaned without fear of scratching. Though most people don't know the name of this glass when it breaks it's the type of glass that breaks into big shards which most people who are familiar with.
Heat Strengthened Glass: Heat strengthened glass is glass that has been heat treated to induce surface compression though not to the extent of causing it to "dice" on breaking in the manner of tempered glass. When cleaning this type of glass an Orange County window cleaner must be on the lookout for fabricating debris which can appear anywhere on this type of glass. Though it's not difficult to remove it's often easy to miss so you'll want an Orange County window cleaner that has extensive experience in working with heat strengthened glass.
Tempered Glass: Timber glass is actually heat strengthened four or five times stronger than annealed glass is. To the layperson tempered glass is more commonly known as safety glass. This type of glass can be found just about anywhere and is very common in vehicles. For a professional Orange County window cleaners this can be the most problematic glass to clean. It can be problematic because of the way it is made and when it is made poorly or is just average a window cleaner will spend considerable time getting it clean. If it's made correctly or is high-grade tempered glass there usually isn't a problem or a least a big problem cleaning it.
Low-E: This type of glass is typically seen in homes and buildings because it's made to cool those structures down. It has film that limits UV light from passing through thereby keeping those buildings it's installed in quite cool. When it comes to cleaning this type of glass an experienced Orange County window cleaner should have a little to no problem in getting the job done.
Regardless of what type of building or home you own you'll want to be sure that the Orange County window cleaner you're interested in has experience in cleaning the type of glass your windows are made of.
