Have questions about our residential services? Explore our FAQs to understand how our experienced team at Atlas Glass & Mirror can meet your unique home improvement needs, from custom glass mirrors to window replacements.

  • What is the advantage of using different types of glass(insulated, laminated and tempered) in my home?

    The advantage of using different types of glass in your home largely depends on your specific needs and preferences. Insulated glass is designed to keep your home energy efficient, reducing heat loss during winter and preventing heat gain during summer. This type of glass can save you a significant amount on energy costs in the long run. Furthermore, insulated glass also aids in reducing noise pollution, making it ideal for homes located near busy roads or noisy neighborhoods.


    On the other hand, laminated glass is known for its superior safety features. It consists of two or more layers of glass bonded together with a plastic interlayer. When shattered, it holds together, minimizing the risk of injury. This makes it an excellent choice for areas that are prone to accidents or break-ins. Lastly, tempered glass, also known as toughened glass, is up to five times stronger than standard glass. It's used in applications where safety is a concern, as it shatters into small, harmless pieces when broken.

  • How long does it typically take to install a custom glass enclosure or mirror?

    The installation time for a custom glass enclosure or mirror can vary significantly based on a variety of factors, including the complexity of the project, the size and shape of the glass, and whether any additional customization is required. Typically, after all the measurements have been taken and the custom glass has been ordered, it could take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for the installation to be completed.


    In the first phase, our skilled technicians will carry out an in-depth analysis of your space and take precise measurements. The custom glass is then ordered and we wait for its arrival. Once the custom glass is ready, our team gets to work on the installation. This process involves meticulous attention to detail to ensure the perfect fit and finish. We understand that each home improvement project is unique and requires a tailored approach. At Atlas Glass & Mirror, we take pride in providing personalized service, ensuring that we meet your specific needs and exceed your expectations. We always aim to complete the project as quickly as possible without compromising on the quality of our workmanship.

  • Can Atlas Glass & Mirror assist with choosing the right type of glass for my specific needs and budget?

    Yes, Atlas Glass & Mirror is more than capable of assisting you with choosing the right type of glass for your specific needs and budget. Our team understands that selecting the right type of glass can be a daunting task, given the numerous options available. We take pride in our ability to guide our clients through this process, ensuring they make informed decisions.


    Our experts will discuss your requirements, preferences, and budget before recommending the most suitable glass options. Whether you're looking for energy efficiency, enhanced safety, noise reduction, or aesthetic appeal, we have a wide range of glass products to cater to your needs. We believe in providing honest advice and transparent pricing to help our clients make the best choices for their homes or businesses.


  • What safety measures are taken when installing tempered glass in homes?

    At Atlas Glass & Mirror, safety is our top priority, especially when installing tempered glass in homes. Tempered glass is designed to shatter into small, harmless pieces when broken, significantly reducing the risk of injury. However, installing it requires precision and care to ensure it serves its purpose effectively.


    Our experienced technicians follow strict safety protocols during the installation process. These include wearing the appropriate safety gear, using the correct tools and techniques, and ensuring the area is clear of any potential hazards. We also ensure the glass is correctly fitted and secured to avoid any displacement or damage. After installation, we conduct thorough checks to ensure the glass is properly installed and safe to use. Your safety and satisfaction are paramount to us, and we go above and beyond to ensure we meet and exceed your expectations.
