The managing company for Zales jewelry store had contacted us about replacing a broken showcase glass that they had in their store in the Livingston Mall. We had some pictures emailed to us, but a site visit was mandatory for something like this as it is very important to see how we’d be able to get the showcase apart to access the glass. We scheduled an appointment and confirmed the process necessary to get everything apart and back together again properly. We took our measurements and fabricated the glass at our shop in East Hanover. We decided to use 1/4″ clear laminated glass for safety. Laminated glass is two pieces of glass with an interlayer of plastic in the middle sandwiched together similar to that which is used in automotive windshields. It’s safe in the sense that if it were to break the plastic interlayer will hold all of the broken glass together preventing it from falling apart and risking hurting someone. We scheduled the installation, had everything apart, and safely back together within a couple of hours. While we were there they pointed out another piece that came loose. So we applied some clear silicone to secure that one in place as well. The customer was very pleased with the finished product and our efficiency in maintaining the entire showcase without any issues with the adjacent showcase pieces. Another happy customer!
