Glazing work is considered an art because it involves great skill and precision.
Therefore, before deciding on glazing work, one should find a professional glazier with a lot of experience.
Glazing service is not required as often as other services, so it is difficult to find recommendations for a seasoned professional glazier.
However, it is obvious that if you get into a conversation with the glazier when you have a basic understanding in the field, you will be able to get the most out of it.
So what do you need to know to communicate with a glazier, and how will you know you are in good hands?
Recommendations - Acquaintances or friends who recommend a glazier who has done work for them is the best way, but you should cross-reference the information with previous clients.
Ask them if the project was completed on time and if the work was completed in its entirety.
Another option for screening is to enlist the help of the Israeli Association of Professionals, where you will find a wide variety of glaziers selected in a rigorous screening process.
Type of work - In the field of glazing there are many types of work, from windows and mirrors to adjusting showers.
It is advisable to choose a glazier who has performed a job similar to the one you are looking for.
Do not hesitate to ask for examples of similar work performed by the glazier.
When it comes to work in showers, glass cladding and glass walls, precise and aesthetic work is required, so the quality of the work must not be compromised.
Price - In every profession it is worthwhile to compare prices, especially in the field of glass, here there is a large space of options.
A regular visit to a glazier costs NIS 200-150.
A glass shelf will cost you NIS 300-200, a glass wall cladding will cost you NIS 900-600 and a glass shower NIS 3,000-2,500.
Concepts in glass - There are several types of glass.
The most common type is standard clear glass, in a wide range of thickness from two mm to 19 mm.
Above it is the tempered clear glass.
This is five times stronger glass than regular clear glass.
Above them all is the extra clear glass - lead-free and transparent glass due to the removal of the lead from it, which causes a reflection of greenish color in its corners.
This glass is suitable for painting, because its shade is close to the chosen color.
Finally, a professional, courteous and skilled glazier will be able to give you a design that will suit your needs.
Just note that this is a professional with receipts, experience and recommendations.
