If you’re planning to renovate your home and part of your plan is to build an enclosed porch, you’re going to need a reliable source for glass. After all, half the purpose of an enclosed porch is to let in sun without letting in bugs or other undesirable parts of the outdoors. Aluplex is the best source for long-lasting glass in the Toronto area. Here’s how we can help you with your enclosed porch project.

Durability

The most important thing when ordering glass for windows or other household uses is durability. Even if other companies find something unique to offer, if their glass isn’t durable, it’s not worth the money. When you buy glass, you’re investing in longevity. Aluplex is known for longevity. Our glass is made to last. Install Aluplex glass in your enclosed porch and it’s sure to withstand storms and other common wear and tear as long as you’ll have it.

Clarity

Durability is important, but glass is all but pointless if you can’t see through it. Low quality glass can have flaws in it that look terrible. Foggy glass will make seeing out of your enclosed porch a huge pain and air bubbles will weaken the glass significantly. Don’t settle for low quality. Order Aluplex glass and have the best view you can get.

Shape and Size

If you’re going for a certain look for your sunroom, you’ll want some flexibility in shape and size. Because glass is Aluplex’s specialty, we have the equipment necessary to give you exactly the shape and size you want for your glass.

Being given that flexibility allows you to follow whatever vision you have for your porch. Want bay windows? Floor to ceiling? How about skylights? Do whatever your heart desires with Aluplex on your side. 

Professional Installation

Aluplex doesn’t just make glass – we also install it! If you want your sunroom to be built to last, with quality work, Aluplex is the best choice for glass installment. When you make your order with Aluplex, we create exactly the glass you need, deliver it, and install it. Our professionals have been doing glass installation for years and know how to do it right.

With poor installation, glass is more likely to break, leak rain water, cause temperature irregularities, and let in bugs. Don’t risk poor installation by hiring inexperienced contractors. Even if less specialized workers charge less upfront, they’ll end up costing you in the long run.

If you want specialized glass, give us a call at Aluplex and we can discuss specifics. We’ll have your glass made ASAP and before you know it, you’ll have the beautiful sunroom you’ve always dreamed of.

Has your shower been aging a little less than gracefully? Perhaps you’re dealing with the shower that was there when you moved in. Old showers often fall victim to minerals from hard water. These minerals can coat the surfaces of tiles, making them feel grimy, or glass, making it look foggy or streaked. They can also fall victim to disrepair due to previous shower owners not upkeeping them well enough. No matter what’s befallen your shower, Aluplex is here to help with reliable shower glass. 

High Quality

One of the leading reasons why people find themselves in the market for new shower glass is from their shower doors breaking. If someone opens the door too hard and it hits a wall, for instance, it is likely to shatter. This is something you’re far less likely to encounter with Aluplex glass. Aluplex creates high quality glass with more notable strength than its counterparts.

When you install Aluplex shower glass, you can expect it to last for years to come. You don’t need to worry about small mishaps being the end of your shower door. We deliver hardy, resilient products that make for the ideal shower enclosure.

Unframed Specialty

Aluplex specializes in unframed shower enclosures. Because we offer such reliable shower glass, you don’t need the metal frame to provide sturdiness and protection during use. These unframed shower enclosures look sleek and contemporary, giving you a 5 star bathroom in no time.

Aside from the beauty, one of the perks to frameless shower enclosures is the resale value. People love unframed shower glass. Because it looks so elegant and modern, it’s sought-after. That means if you expect to sell your house next year or in fifteen, you can expect a higher pricetag on your home.

For many, it’s important to order things locally to show support to local businesses. For those of you who feel this way, you’ll be glad to know that Aluplex is local to Toronto. If you live in the GTA, you can feel good about supporting a business that’s been homegrown right here in Toronto.

Your commercial business’ appearance is an important factor in its success. Therefore, it’s important that you replace old features when they start to wear out. Aluplex is here today to let you in on why you should replace old commercial glass doors.

Appearance Matters

The first reason why replacing old glass doors is important is because it gives you an opportunity to improve your storefront’s appearance. When you use the same glass doors for many years, they begin to wear out and get dirty. Cleaning can help for a while, but when your glass doors have scratches, scuffs, or sticky residue on them, cleaning no longer helps. By that point, your glass doors will look pretty ratty no matter how much soap and water you use.

It’s not just the glass on commercial glass doors that begins to look worn out after years of use. The handle will also display your doors’ age. Paint or coatings on the outside of push or pull doors will begin to wear off. When a door’s handle starts to get that big silver patch where the metal shows through from many years of use, you know it’s time for a replacement. After all, the appearance of a business’ storefront or interior is an important indicator, to customers, of what quality the business is.

Upgrading your commercial glass doors

When your commercial glass doors have worn out enough to require replacement, it actually gives you an opportunity. You can use this as a chance to upgrade your doors. Choosing doors that look nicer may give your business an edge over others. Choosing higher quality doors than what was installed originally can also mean your new doors last longer than their predecessors.

Rebranding and Advertising

Another perk of getting new commercial glass doors is being able to rebrand. While you might not be interested in changing your business name, you could update your logo! Making your logo simple, recognizable, and a clean design will ensure people remember your business. New doors means the opportunity to put that logo right on the glass where every guest will see it – not to mention people just passing by.

If you’re going to get customized commercial glass doors, you can also use this as a chance to put your hours on your door. Glass front doors are where everyone expects your business hours to be. If you want to make finding your hours easy for visitors, put them up where everyone can see them.

Security Bonuses

If all of the appearance points don’t matter to you, you’ll definitely want to consider the security implications of replacing old doors. For one thing, glass doors are vulnerable as it is. Glass doors are one of the primary targets for burglars. If your glass doors are visibly worn out, they’re even more likely to become targets, as old doors are weaker. Replacing your doors and investing in a strength-enforcing window film will make a huge difference in your security.

If you have questions about how Aluplex can help you with commercial door replacements, give us a call. Our professionals look forward to helping you improve your business, one door at a time.

Is your old front door doing little to add to your home’s curb appeal? When it comes time to get something better, consider a fiberglass door from Aluplex. Fiberglass doors are the peak of home aesthetic. But, how do you know if fiberglass is right for you?

Fiberglass Doors

What are fiberglass doors, exactly? They’re doors made of a frame, polycarbonate insulation filling, and a fiberglass skin. The fiberglass skin is the outer layer of the door – the part that you can see. You might be wondering if fiberglass is actually made of glass. In fact, it is! However, it doesn’t look like glass. Fiberglass doors are created by melting down small glass particles into something solid and, typically, opaque. Therefore, these doors can be made to look like all kinds of materials – like wood.

Fiberglass doors take an appearance that looks great and that everyone loves and makes it more durable. Wooden doors are prone to damage. They can chip, dent, split, or even get water damage and mold. Steel doors are the other standard for front doors. The problem is, those can rust, dent, scratch, and generally aren’t very welcoming. Fiberglass takes the best qualities of both – appearance and strength – and polishes out the things that make the others weak or unappealing.

Flexible Design

A fiberglass door is great for any home because they’re made with such a flexible design. You can buy a fiberglass door in virtually any color you want. If you want your door to look like natural wood? You’ve got it! Want it to look painted instead? We can do that too. And, in case you prefer your door not to look like wood, we also have sleek designs as well. No matter what kind of design your home calls for, Aluplex can offer you a fiberglass door that fits perfectly. 

Quality

No matter the color or texture, fiberglass doors always look quality. That’s because they’re made to be quality. The designs we make our doors in add a touch of class to your house that a boring, metal door could never achieve. This is great for curb appeal. If you plan to sell the house after remodeling or upgrading certain features, you can bet a fiberglass door from Aluplex will help. Our doors catch the eye right away and make a gorgeous centerpiece to the front of your home. Even if you don’t plan to sell, you can keep the curb appeal all to yourself.

Sidelights

You know those windows people often have beside their doors that make their entryway feel nicer? Those are called sidelights and we have plenty of fiberglass door options available that include them. Sidelights open up an entry area by providing more visibility and letting in light from outside. You can also use them to see who’s knocking. If you like the accessibility and beauty of sidelights, order your new fiberglass door with one, or even two of them.

If you have questions about our fiberglass doors or other products, call us at Aluplex today. Our excellent staff can help clear up any confusion or concerns you may have and assist with your order.
