Your roof provides your family with protection from the elements, making it one of the single most important features of your home. If you’re building a new home, then you can’t afford to take chances, or cut corners, when fitting your roof – you could wind up with a condemned property if you do. Even the well-constructed roof will suffer wear and tear as the years go by, eventually requiring maintenance of one kind or another.

Even the sturdiest roof can take a real beating during a bout of extreme weather, and the most dangerous enemy your shingle or tile roof has is a heavy downpour of hailstones. The issue with showers of hailstones is that they’re completely unpredictable in their severity or when they occur – you’re just as likely to have severe hail in a temperate climate as you are anywhere else.

Some Basic Principles For Designing A Responsive Website

In today’s world of multi-screen displays such as laptops and mobile devices, responsive website design is an important technique to be used so that your site is compatible with all types of devices.

  Below are some tips we’ve learned over several years of building responsive sites that we’d like to share.  These tips are intended to help you make your websites user friendly regardless of the device being used. We want to make a complicated design process much less complication and will try to keep it simpler and just concentrate on the layouts.

  Everything Is Dependent On The Content

The flow

The content automatically goes to the next line vertically as the screen becomes smaller. Anything below what will fit into available space gets moved down. This process is referred to as the flow. It may sound tricky if you’re used to only designing with points and pixels. But it’s easy once you get used to it.

Relative units

For a responsive design, we need flexible units that work on all kinds of screens, because pixel density gets varied according to the canvas on each device. This is where we use the relative units like percents. That is, if you want to make something 50% wide, then it always takes half of the size of your view port.

Breakpoints

These are the predefined points which makes the layout change according to the screen size. That is, it manages to show only one column on a mobile device while you have three columns on the desktop. You can use different CSS properties for different breakpoints. It depends on the content where you want to put one. You may need to add a break point when a sentence breaks. If you properly understand what influences what, then it will be easier to tackle the situation if it gets messy.

Nested objects

Don’t make too many elements dependent on each other. It will get difficult to control. This is where wrapping elements in a container come in handy. It makes the things easily understandable and keeps it clear. When you don’t want to scale content like buttons and logos, you can use static units like pixels.

These are some of the important things which may help a designer to create a responsive web design.

We all know what someone means when they say “like bathroom glass”, right? Glass in bathroom windows is typically patterned or finished in a way that makes it less see-through, or more “obscure”, than regular glass. Obscure glass comes in a range of different patterns. A great feature of Obscure glass is that you can use it to obscure the view through a window and still use it with Low-E glass.

How to Make a Website Customer Friendly

How do online customers use the internet? It’s an easy question, however a question many small-business owners forget to address while working on their website.

Far too often, web design firms get so focused on the latest tech innovations they lose sight of the basic and often simple needs and expectations of their potential customers.

From ipads and smartphones to oversized video display units and laptops, how do you deliver your message to your customer online today? Is the site easy to understand and easy to navigate?

If you have a website, you must have some kind of metrics or analytic programs available to you. This is a easy way of tracking visitors on your website, as well as an additional feature offered by most applications  to review browser information. This gives you reliable insight into what internet browsers and operating structures your clients use and what they see on the screen set on their monitors. These analytics can assist you in making  a decision to upgrade your site to deliver content that displays properly regardless of the device being used to access your site.

Mobile Friendly

When your website is visited on a mobile web browser, how does it look? Does the information you want to deliver visible without having to move their screen? Here are a couple of things to bear in mind while thinking about the effectiveness of your website.

The first thing to remember is that photo-heavy websites take longer to down load on mobile phones. The second one is that flash animation can’t be properly displayed on all phones.

However, you don’t have to sacrifice special features on your business website, but you may want to discuss with your website developer ways to create the responsive design version of the site for your mobile audience. With studies showing some 60% of internet searches now being done on a wide variety of mobile devices, proper display of the site to those visitors is crucial and simply can’t be ignored.

Print style

Most websites built before about 2012 were designed with features meant to work well on a desktop or a laptop screen, including being able to print out relevant parts of the site. But with the huge growth of mobile internet, and the fact that mobile may involve a wide range of platforms, with updating the site many people in your target market may find no way to print your pages or articles. This is a simple fix but may be an expensive mistake if not addressed. You may want to provide this option if you have details on your site that clients would want to print. This is a feature important to many types of online businesses such as magazines, restaurants displaying menus, educational and informative site and often just basic information about you or your products and services.

User Style

You may have intended to have website convey a certain look and feel, but consider this: how many different devices are visiting your website and not being able to experience that look and feel you intended when the site was first built?  There could be a large portion of your target market not getting what you wanted them to have resulting in the loss of potential sales all due to a simple upgrade.

Ease of Use

A lot of online sales is about showing your clients that you understand them and are flexible to their needs. Begin that conversation by giving your audience a solid user experience by making you’re pages display properly. Font styles can be a great place to start. Provide users with a simple and obvious way to increase the size of your font to make reading content easier for them.

Upgrading your site shouldn’t be expensive or a daunting prospect for you. No matter the cost of updating the site, NOT upgrading and failing to show what your customers expect to see is likely to cost far more in lost sales.

Vinyl windows Vs Fiberglass windows

Investing in replacement windows for a home is something that homeowners should not take lightly. Windows and doors do affect the feel and design of your home, but they also are a functional element. The greatest contributors to heat loss in your home are usually your doors and windows, so the insulating factors of new replacements should definitely be taken into account. Many customers asks us if we would recommend vinyl windows or fiberglass windows. Our answer is that they are both very efficient and can carry an Energy Star rating, however there are pros and cons to each product, so be sure to do some homework before you buy! Below we have listed some facts that can help in the decision making process.

Maintenance:

Fiberglass windows have more options for paint colors than a vinyl window, but they do require maintenance. Though they come to job site factory painted, they can be easily chipped or scratched during the installation process and will need touching up. Over the years you will need to repaint fiberglass windows. Vinyl windows should not be painted, and because of the way they are manufactured they will never need any paint. Since the material is the same color all the way through, they will never need touching up.

Insulation:

All mechanically fastened windows, including fiberglass windows, can leak in the corners. Fiberglass windows offer less insulation, in some cases 3 times less, than vinyl windows. Over the years, the fiberglass material can weaken at the corners and let in more air, water and dust. Vinyl windows are designed with multiple chambers that trap dense air and help to insulate the frame. Vinyl windows also have welded corners so there is no possibility for air or water leaks around the frame and sash. Because of the sealed corners, vinyl units have a longer lasting effectiveness and keep their efficiency better for the long run.

Installation:

Vinyl windows can be manufactured quickly and easily. They can be made down to the 1/8th of an inch to fit an opening exactly, and have a greater amount of flexibility during installation which makes them an easier fit. Fiberglass as a material has more strength than vinyl, and it is certainly true that it contracts and expands less than vinyl, however constant contraction & expansion diminishes this issue. Fiberglass windows are somewhat more labor intensive to make than a vinyl window. Because fiberglass is so rigid they can be difficult to install and require more precision to get it set properly (they are not recommended for do-it-yourselfers!). Fiberglass also weighs considerably more than vinyl so large windows may require extra help.

Cost:

One of the most important deciding factors when replacing windows and doors is of course how much it will cost. One of fiberglass windows’ biggest downsides is cost. Fiberglass windows tend to cost 10–30% more than other replacement windows like vinyl units. It becomes a matter of style over efficiency. Fiberglass has more color choices and customizable features, but if you’re looking to replace your windows to increase the insulation in your home, vinyl is the less expensive option.

At Glass-Rite we took all these factors into account when designing our window lines, and decided to put our focus on vinyl instead of fiberglass windows. Our vinyl windows have a welded frame and welded sashes so there is no air infiltration through the corners. Fiberglass may be a dimensionally stronger material than vinyl, but at Glass-Rite we use a metal stiffener in the meeting rails so the windows do not need any other reinforcement. Having hollow chambers on either side of the stiffener provides a very solid frame. Our vinyl is built specifically for our South West climate and is tested frequently for performance at Quanex Industries in Tuscon Arizona. If you’d like to learn more, or see the process for yourself please call or come down to our showroom. We’d be happy to give you the tour! Call or e-mail us today for a free, no pressure, estimate on your replacement needs.

You may have heard people talking about “sheet metal,” “continuous,” or “soldered” gutters but they’re just other names for seamless gutters. These types of gutters have no potential for leaks, or points of failure, because they’re manufactured from a single coil of aluminum, which has been treated and coated to prevent rot and erosion. The equipment required to manufacture gutters of this type costs in excess of $20,000, so they’re not a reasonable DIY project.

The obvious benefit here is the gutters are a single, seamless piece so it’s less likely to leak or fall apart, and they’re also much easier to install. Another important consideration is that seamless gutters cost roughly the same to have fitted as high-quality sectional gutters, so you’ll get a far superior product for roughly the same out of pocket cost.

Also, seamless gutters can increase the overall value of your home, while reducing the risk of rot, mold and internal dampness on your property. Gutters are an important factor in the

Cyclone Professional Cleaners began in 2001 as a superior cleaning service located in the Dallas, Texas area. Our company mission is to create brighter and cleaner spaces, using the latest equipment and environmentally friendly products.

How We Started A Business

Our journey into carpet cleaning began when my wife was pregnant with our son. She was nesting and sanitizing every inch of the house with non-toxic cleansers. But, the carpet was not clean enough and there was dust collecting fast on the furniture. So, we hired a carpet and air duct cleaner from an ad that came in the mail. The ad offered the two services we needed at a discount. They came to our home with a portable machine about the size of the one from the grocery store and they proceeded to leave dirty water behind, making the carpet look worse. The air duct job was done the same, only cleaning from one area in the system. We were baited and switched with the price, too, being told our house didn’t qualify for a coupon. I thought, if this is what is available in the industry, I should look into training and equipment and provide a better service myself. And so, Cyclone Pro was born, as was my son, and we were business owners. There was a need out there for a quality cleaning company so I answered the call. We offer a complete package of cleaning services you can trust. There won’t be harmful side effects from harsh carpet cleaning chemicals. No residue left behind, either. Cyclone Pros have integrity, training and cutting edge equipment. Our employees will arrive on time, in uniform and ready to perform quality cleaning with pressure-free, straight forward pricing.

Our goal is to be the best service company around and the only one you need to call. See why most of our business is generated from the referrals of satisfied customers.

Together, we will enhance your living and work space. For our families and yours.

Seamless Gutters

Seamless gutters are rain gutters created on-site with a guttering machine set up on a truck or trailer. The simple answer to the question “what are SEAMLESS gutters” is that they don't have any seams, and are custom measured and installed on-site in a single continuous run, minimizing the chance of leaks, and providing years of maintenance free protection for your home or business.

 This type of gutter has very little potential for leaks, or points of failure, because they’re manufactured from a single coil of aluminum, which has been treated and coated to prevent rust and erosion.

 Benefits

 ü Short Installation Time

ü No Seams = No Leaks

ü Stronger and Safe than alternatives

ü Baked on Enamel Finish Lasts up to 50 years

ü Custom Made to Fit each house

 Seamless gutters are formed by rolling a aluminum sheet through a gutter forming device on-site. The gutter is then secured to the side of the home in a continuous run.

 Sectional gutters are much more difficult to put in and it is impossible to make them seamless. Sectional gutters, which includes Vinyl or plastic, aren't available as a continuous gutter because vinyl and plastic can't be roll formed. When sectional gutters are installed, they need to be joined together with screws or fasteners to form the gutter run. The joints are then sealed using a sealing agent, such as caulk. Typical sectional gutter comes in lengths of 10 feet. This means for a 50 foot run of gutter you will have 5 seats and therefore five possible points of failure.

 Seamless Gutters Installation

 Installing a seamless gutter system can increase the value of your home or building even offering additional saving advantages by eliminating maintenance. And, because they're precisely measured for the house they are being installed on, there is far less waste of gutter material.

 It’s also faster to install a seamless gutter than it is to install a traditional gutter system. A sectional gutter system has to have every section mitered, fastened and sealed. This extra work takes a additional to install, which only increases installation cost. Seamless gutters are faster, easier and cheaper to install because the entire gutter system is more flexible and installed all at once.
