Protect and Preserve the Glass in Your Home

Hello, my name is Jackie and this is my glass blog. I first fell in love with glass as a child, when I dropped a large glass plate in my mother's kitchen. I was amazed to see how it broke into a million pieces. I was shocked when I cut my finger trying to pick a piece of it up. I knew then, that glass is something that needs to be respected. I am not a professional glass contractor but over the past few decades I have taught myself all there is to know about how to protect and preserve the glass in your home.
