			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you are in need of a new windshield, there is one part of the replacement process that can make or break the safety and stability of your new auto glass &#8211; the technician.   And the one sure fire way to tell if a technician is really qualified is an NGA certification.  This lets the customer know that the auto glass technician has been tested on their knowledge in both installation and repair by a party other than the glass company where they are employed.</p>
<p><span id="more-186"></span></p>
<p>The real difference is that the NGA holds their Certified and Master technicians to a certain standard not required by many of the more lax business owners.  There are many factors that go into the safe completion of windshield replacement, and every step along the way must be done perfectly to avoid potential safety issues.  When their glass technician has been taught by qualified professionals, practiced in the field and then tested on their knowledge, consumers can rest assured that they will have a job well done.</p>
<p>Deals Glass Services is proud to employ many Certified and Master Technicians, several of whom have been with us over a decade!</p>
<p><strong>Deals Glass Services&#8217; Certified Technicians: </strong> Mike G., Cale M., Drake A., Kenneth O.</p>
<p><strong>Deals Glass Services&#8217; Certified Master Technicians:</strong> Timothy B., Freddie F., Todd L., Brien N., Mark S., Jason B.</p>
<p>With all of these highly qualified glass installers, Charlotte area customers can be confident that the person fixing their windshield has been held to the &#8220;Gold Standard&#8221;.  Unfortunately, there are dishonest people in every walk of life, and auto glass is no different.  If you have doubts about whether or not a technician or their management  is NGA certified, you can use the NGA&#8217;s <a href="http://nga.glass.org/nga-Directories/CertifiedTechSearch.aspx" target="_blank">certified tech finder</a> to figure out if you are dealing with a honest glass shop.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many of America’s later model automobiles have been constructed with laminated side window glass, the problem is that many car owners don’t know what type of windows they have.  Since there’s a big difference in the type of repairs needed for these two types of glass it is important for consumers to understand what type of glass they have and the benefits and drawbacks of each type.</p>
<p>While laminated side windows were at first a new technology reserved for foreign luxury cars, they now appear in other automobiles, including some American SUVs.  With laminated side windows becoming more prevalent, many drivers are becoming more familiar with the benefits that laminated glass can provide.  One of the most notable advantages of laminated side windows, and probably the biggest draw to luxury car makers, is the quieter ride provided by layered glass.   The plastic laminate material provides an additional sound barrier, helping to suppress outside noise in the passenger cabin.<span id="more-124"></span></p>
<p>Another benefit that the owner of a car with laminated side windows might hope to never appreciate personally, is the prevention of a “smash and grab” type car burglary.   Since tempered glass is not used on laminated glass side windows, the glass doesn’t shatter into a million pieces, as side windows traditionally do.  The middle laminate material holds the pieces together, so even if the glass is destroyed, the barrier stays in place, preventing entry to the vehicle.</p>
<p>The problem the owner would face after the attempt of this type of crime would be the significant difference in price between laminate and tempered glass side windows.  Since tempered glass is five times harder than the glass used in laminate windows, it’s actually easier to damage laminated windows.  And since stress to windows can be caused by everyday events &#8211; elbow bumps and fender benders – it doesn’t necessarily take a common criminal for one to incur the considerable cost of replacing laminated glass side windows.</p>
<p>While providing protection from theft, laminated glass can pose a safety hazard; in the event that the car is submerged in water, the side windows cannot be kicked out.  While this may seem like a minimal risk, it’s a good incentive for car owner to know what type of glass their own car has, and all the benefits and disadvantages.   So if you don’t know exactly what is standing between you and the world at 65 mph, look it up or ask around!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With local temperatures taking a dive, many homeowners in the Charlotte area have noticed that some of their windows seem to have developed a permanent fog.  This permanent window fog often happens during the change of seasons, when the conflicting indoor and outdoor temperatures fluctuate and the glass expands and contracts.  The movement of the glass can cause the seal between the two layers of glass to fail, allowing air and moisture inside the window and causing window fog.</p>
<p>Deals Glass Services can now provide residential window repair as well as replacement of just the glass window pane.  Contact us as soon as you notice the ruptured seal and the telltale &#8220;perma-fog&#8221;, and we can actually remove the air and moisture from between the two glass panels and give you a good as new appearance.   When you repair  or replace the foggy glass rather than replacing the entire window unit, you save yourself time, money and the hassle of having a hole in your home.</p>
<p>Deals has a new commercial explaining the benefits of repairing or replacing just the fogged glass window pane.</p>

<p>You can contact us <a href="http://www.dealsautoglass.com/residential-glass-quote.htm">online</a> or by phone to set up an appointment for Deals to come to your home and clear up your foggy windows.</p>
