We can feel the cooler evenings around the fire approaching. Leaves changing in the backyard. A screened porch that suddenly becomes everyone’s favorite place to sit. As fall approaches, it’s also a great time to think about the glass in and around your home—and how a few updates can help you enjoy those spaces longer.
At Carmel Glass & Mirror, we work with homeowners throughout Central Indiana on custom glass projects of all sizes. Here are a few of our favorites for this time of year.
Gather Around a Glass Fire Pit
A fire pit can completely change a patio once the temperatures start dropping. Adding a custom glass wind guard or surround helps protect the flame from breezy fall weather while keeping the fire visible from every direction.
Because every fire pit is a little different, we can create the glass to fit your specific space. It’s a simple detail, but one that can make your outdoor entertaining area more enjoyable as the weather cools.
Keep the View with Clear Glass Patio Panels
If you have a great backyard view, the last thing you want is a railing that blocks it.
Clear glass patio railing panels provide the safety and separation you need without closing off the space. Whether you’re looking out over a pool, patio, landscaping or those changing fall leaves, glass keeps the view open and the space feeling larger.
Enjoy Your Porch Longer
Fall nights are some of the best nights for patio dining and relaxing outside. Unfortunately, fall can also bring windy days and storms that can damage or even break a glass patio tabletop.
If that happens, there’s no need to replace the whole table. We can custom-cut replacement glass to fit your existing patio table, so you can get back to dining outside.
Don’t Forget About Foggy Windows
Fall is also when failed insulated glass units can become especially noticeable. If you have a window that looks foggy or cloudy, or has condensation between the panes, you may not need an entirely new window.
In many cases, we can replace just the insulated glass unit while keeping your existing window frame. It’s a service we’ve provided to Central Indiana homeowners for decades and can make a big difference in the appearance and clarity of your windows.
A Little More Time to Enjoy the Outdoors
Fall always seems to go by too quickly. The right glass can help you enjoy the views, patios and porches around your home just a little bit longer.
Whether you need custom glass for a fire pit, clear patio panels, storm windows for your porch, replacement glass for a patio table or new glass for a fogged window, Carmel Glass & Mirror can help you find the right solution for your space.
We’ve been serving Carmel and Central Indiana since 1980, and we’re always happy to talk through a project—even if you’re not quite sure what type of glass you need.
