We’ve been busy installing new windows for clients here in the Flathead Valley and wow some the days have been hot!!

Even with the heat, now’s a great time to get new energy efficient replacement windows installed ahead for the Montana winter! These are Pella windows with the black Impervia fiberglass.

The Pella Impervia windows are strong enough to withstand all the extreme weather here in the Flathead Valley, from sun baking heat to the harsh cold snaps. They are a great “forever window” that you don’t need to worry about replacing for 30 – 40 years. The Pella Impervia windows are stronger than vinyl by a factor of 7x on some metrics!!

What's possible with glass?

When a lot of folks think of glass windows and custom glass shower enclosures come to mind right away. Other lesser know glass products are glass partition walls (mainly in office buildings), glass ceilings or floors, glass store fronts, glass accent walls (can be made to look like stone and backlit, a really nice look), and glass art (many times found in hotels and airports). There’s some interesting glass projects here in the Flathead Valley: some highlights include a glass breezeway and an infinity end hot tub made out of glass!

What's the best way to clean my custom glass shower?

Custom glass showers look great and clean easily when properly installed and cared for! Glass manufacturers often apply a protective coating to the glass which helps with ease of cleaning as well. Water and a squeegee work the best for a weekly cleaning. If the glass needs a bit more help, then a mild eco friendly soap like Dawn, Windex, or SprayWay and a microfiber rag will do the trick. For hard water situations, use CLR. Remember to rinse and squeegee after using a cleaning product though!

How is the glass that Precision Glass install protected? Does it have a coating?

Precision Glass installs custom glass that is protected by EnduroShield. The coating helps the glass repel water and dirt. Incredibly the coating is only 2 molecules thick! This is vital as it could start to change the clear quality of the glass if it was too thick.

How thick is the custom glass that Precision Glass installs?

We offer glass in various thicknesses ranging from 1/8 inch to 1 inch depending on the type of glass and application. The most common custom glass project is a custom glass shower and we typically install 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch tempered glass for these projects!

Does Precision Glass offer custom tempered glass for tabletops?

Yup! Precision Glass offers tempered glass for tabletops which is much stronger and more resistant to shattering than regular glass.

What is tempered glass?

Tempered glass, often referred to as “toughened” or “fully tempered” glass, is heat-treated safety glass that is approximately four times stronger than the surface of regular annealed (non-safety) glass of the same thickness.

When tempered glass is broken it shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces. This characteristic “dice” break pattern minimizes the risk of serious injury.

What about mirrors? Can Precision Glass help?

The team at Precision Glass can help bring your custom mirror ideas into reality!
