Bring Your Dallas Remodel Up To Code For Less With Window Film
Be Bringing Your Dallas Home Windows Up To Code During A Remodel
As many home remodelers have found out the hard way– home remodels are expensive and rarely go as planned. But getting your dream home is often working the risk. One issue many home remodelers run into is updating their home in order to bring it up to the latest codes. These types of repairs are rarely planned for and almost always expensive. Glass windows are one of those things that almost always need to be brought up to code–especially in older homes with a lot of plate glass. Installing new windows with safety or tempered glass is very expensive and could put you way over your remodel budget. But as it is, today’s building codes require safety glass in windows or doors near or around “dangerous” areas: in bathrooms and stairwells, sliding glass doors and ramps. The good news for home remodelers is there is a workaround for safety glass in homes and commercial buildings that do not involve replacing the window with expensive tempered glass. This workaround is safety window film and it is simple and cost-effective.
Can Safety Window Film Be Used Instead Of Tempered Glass To Bring Dallas Remodels Up To Code?
As we mentioned, hazardous areas in homes and buildings are required to have glazed/tempered glass in them in order for them to conform to building codes. However, with 3M Safety Window Films you can avoid the hassle and the expense of installing tempered glass will still adhere to building codes. In fact, safety window film is a perfectly acceptable substitute for tempered glass and costs only a fraction of what tempered glass replacement does. Also, removing old windows and replacing them with custom tempered glass is a lengthy process. 3M safety film, on the other hand, will usually be installed in as little as one day. When it comes to remodeling your Dallas home and bringing your home windows up to code 3M safety film is the smart alternative to tempered glass.
