Glaziers Holloway

The name Glaziers is synonymous with quality, elegance and style and is a term that
conjures up images of old-fashioned glaziers and glass clamps. Yet for many of the
modern glaziers on the market today the vision is blurred. This is because the term
has become so vague that today it can apply to any type of manufacturer who uses gas
or electric light to create windows, shower enclosures, skylights, mantels and other
types of glazing.

So what do some of the modern manufacturers mean by "Glaziers"? They may be a

term used by industry professionals but most of us will have been addressed with the
term "holloway" when we see a window or door that requires fixing. This type of
glazing is often required in small spaces that have a low ceiling and are therefore not
suitable for standard glazing. Holloway is a composite term that describes a wide
range of transparent gas or flexible glass that is sometimes coated with an enamel
coating so that it can withstand heat and resist corrosion. The term refers to the
process of creating a hollow glass structure with a solid metal base.

When it comes to repairing or replacing broken glass in a home or building, glaziers

have long been regarded as the professionals who can perform the job. It used to be
that a window technician would use a hammer and chisel to chip out the broken pieces
and replace them in the correct place but with the advent of modern technology and
the incorporation of computers into many modern glass fabrication and repair
machines, it has become possible to mend virtually any broken or chipped glass. Many
modern glass repairmen use techniques such as computer aided manufacturing (CAM)
to produce intricate patterns of glass to make repairs to windows. Even the smallest
chips or scratches can often be filled in a relatively short time with an appropriate
glass repair substance. There is another aspect to this, of course, that is becoming
ever more popular with the use of CAD systems to produce custom glass designs.

A typical day at a leading glass manufacturing plant or workshop will involve many
types of machinery. Each type will require its own particular skill set and specific set of
tools depending on what it is that needs to be repaired or replaced. For example, the
most common requirement for n7 Holloway n7 windows is that they must be firmly fixed
into their frame. A specialist in glazing means that he will know exactly how strong the
frame is and will know whether it should be left strong enough to support the glass or
whether any weak spots should be filled in using an appropriate glass additive. This
knowledge will be invaluable when it comes to choosing the best type of filler for your
particular repair job.

Glass can also be cut to different shapes. This is a skill that can only be learnt over
time by making a lifetime commitment to using appropriate tools. Many glaziers will
start out making simple straight and curved cuts as a beginner. As you gain experience
you will be able to experiment with more elaborate shapes and more complicated
cutting methods, but you will need to know where you are good at in order to find it.

Emergency boarding is another skill that glaziers must have in their repertoire. It is
vital to staff a shop front repairs facility with qualified staff who can quickly assess the
damage to your windows and assess how much work and replacement glass will be
needed. You may be surprised at just how much boarding a particular type of window
can take if you are not careful, so it pays to know how skilled your staff are and to
keep them well-informed about what type of repairs you are likely to need to make.
Other skills required by glass repair staff include nail clippers, screwdrivers, a hammer
and a small set of hand tools such as chisels. These items may seem basic and
perhaps even expected, but the truth is that not all work is completed within the
shortest possible time. As an example, having an emergency boarding process in place
when you start to notice cracks in the glass means that you can complete the repair
much sooner. If you start to notice problems before other signs of damage have
developed, it is important to know whether this will require further steps. A skilled and
qualified staff should be able to give you an indication as to the best course of action.

Skilled glaziers are also experienced at taking and breaking large pieces of glass.
They may even have experience in repairing broken or dislodged crowns or tiles. If a
crown has been cracked it is common for it to be replaced, and if a tile or grout has
been damaged it is important to know how this can be solved and whether you can
expect to have the problem fixed within 365 days. It is impossible to predict when a
glass repair job might be undertaken, so it pays to know what to expect in advance and
to have an emergency plan ready in case something does go wrong. By keeping a
clear and detailed list of any issues that could occur during your period of closure, you
will ensure that you do not leave any gaps which could lead to more problems being
caused.
