I come home, throw myself into the armchair and suddenly realize that the outside noise leaves little room for relaxation and thought? I close my eyes and feel that I would give everything I have, just to be in silence. After a hard day at work, there is nothing better than silence. This is where soundproof windows come into play. Soundproof windows are even better than storm windows. I know why my friends want storm windows: they want heat insulation. They want to save their money. They want to reduce drafts and their effects on health. They want to preserve unique exteriors or are simply lazy to replace the existing windows. Arizona Glass professionals can deal with all these problems and wishes. However, there are also soundproof windows!

I am sitting in the armchair, trying to find five solid reasons why soundproof windows are better than storm windows. First, they reduce noise, and do it much better than simple storm windows. Second, they provide better sealing and protection against drafts. With soundproof windows I can be confident that my health does not suffer from flues during summer. Third, soundproof windows prevent almost 100% of unhealthy ultraviolet light from penetrating into the house. This is how I can be sure that my skin and eyes do not suffer the effects of harmful sunlight, and the house?s interior remains bright and colorful throughout years. Fourth, soundproof windows have a longer life ? with proper maintenance, soundproof windows can serve for 50 years and even more. Fifth, it is easier to find a soundproof window that fits your existing windows. Of course, soundproof windows are more expensive than storm windows. Thus, I will need to make greater initial investments, for the sake of the future, continuous cost savings. However, as I am sitting in my armchair listening to the outside noise, these investments seem a trifle, compared to the quality and efficiency of soundproof windows and their functions.

I know that Arizona Glass professionals will do their job perfectly well? This is what I will do tomorrow ? and today I simply want silence?

Arizona Glass professionals are the warriors of the flat glass market. The latter was approximately 55 million metric tons in 2009. With the current level of prices, the amount of flat glass produced in 2009 makes up almost 30 billion dollars. Every year, the global glass market increases 4-5 percent. Most of what international flat glass manufacturers offer is for the high quality flat glass sector. Arizona Glass professionals also found that almost 10 percent of the total demand for flat glass was for sheet glass, and about 8 percent of the global flat glass market was made up rolled glass. In most cases, changes in the global demand for flat glass reflect global economic fluctuations. Whether or not flat glass manufacturers can meet the demand for glass products and satisfy their profitability expectations will depend on the pace and quality of economic development. This is why Arizona Glass professionals constantly monitor changes in the global economic processes.

It is interesting to note that North America and China are at the forefront of the flat glass market industry. Together, China, North America, and Europe account for more than 70 percent of global flat glass manufacturing. However, Arizona Glass professionals know that Europe is the most mature market of flat glass products and, in many instances, Europe could serve the role model of stability and market development. Yet, North America has a well-developed network of flat glass manufacturers and suppliers. The leading players of the American flat glass market include Zeleydne, AGC, Cardinal, NSG, Guardian and PPG. In 2009, the United States produced a total of 4.6 million tonnes of high quality float glass. Arizona Glass has excellent knowledge of the global and national flat glass market. This is what saves us from the vulnerabilities of the market competition. We can provide you with the highest quality flat glass products that will meet your demands and expectations.

The glass industry is facing a challenge of unemployment in the construction industry. The relationship between the glass and construction industry is well documented. The faster the construction industry grows the more likely glass manufacturers are to achieve excellent business results. It would be fair to assume that glaziers follow and accompany professionals in the construction industry: glass is an essential ingredient of all construction processes and decisions. Therefore, changes in the construction industry greatly affect the profitability and efficiency of professional glaziers. This being said, declines and unemployment in the construction industry threaten the development and growth prospects in glass manufacturing.

Phoenix Glass professionals have learned that, during this year, the U.S. construction industry has experienced a considerable reduction in employment opportunities. The rates of unemployment in construction have reached an unbelievable 13.7 percent. Between September and October, the construction industry has lost about 20,000 jobs. Most probably, it is because of reduced public sector investments that the construction industry is losing jobs. Followed by reduced demand for construction, glass industry players also experience the lack of private consumers. Like their colleagues in construction, glaziers depend on public investments in infrastructure projects. Yet, the situation is not as bad as it seems. The construction industry is slowly improving its unemployment indices. The global economy is gradually recovering, giving rise to new construction and, consequentially, glass industry projects. Phoenix Glass professionals are convinced that future investments and new projects will speed up the creation of new ideas. In the meantime, both the construction and glass industries need state and federal support, to boost the demand for construction and glass products/ projects.

What to do with waste glass? As sustainability is turning into a global movement, the issue of waste recycling in the glass industry is becoming more urgent. Arizona Glass professionals will give you a few tips on how to deal with waste glass. This way you can ensure that your business does not neglect the emerging social concerns for the future of the environment.

To begin with, waste glass recycling exhibits a remarkable environmental potential. Apart from its economic feasibility, recycling glass waste can provide sizable financial revenues, create jobs, and enhance your social responsibility image. Recycling can easily diminish the stream of community waste, but the challenges faced by glass waste recyclers cannot be disregarded. Actually, glass remains one of the most difficult products to recycle. First, glass recyclers must separate colored glass from clear glass waste. Second, not all recycling factors accept glass waste. Third, how to reuse glass products is often unclear, but Arizona Glass professionals know the secret.

Glass waste can be used in clay manufacturing: by adding glass, clay manufacturers can lower the processing temperature and make the final product stronger. This is how clay manufacturers can optimize their operational costs. Glass waste can become an important ingredient in plastic products, as it increases their ductility and strength. More interesting is the use of glass waste in ceramic manufacturing. More and more U.S. consumers choose ceramic tile: each year the rates of ceramic tile consumption in America increase 7-10%. New methods of glass waste processing create better opportunities for the growth of the ceramic tile industry: raw materials become cheaper; production becomes more energy-efficient; and the community can get rid of glass waste without any environmental losses.

Arizona Glass professionals believe that glass waste recycling meets consumer demands for sustainability and environmental protection. It is high time for U.S. manufacturers to consider glass waste as a source of potential economic and financial profits. Arizona Glass votes for glass waste reuse!

Some glass products become icons in non-glass markets. The Coca-Cola bottle is probably the brightest example of a glass icon. It would be fair to say that this unique bottle is an important element of the Coca-Cola brand, and glaziers played not the last role in designing and promoting the image of Coke. Arizona Glass professionals know why the Coke bottle is considered as the icon of style and brand development in the global market.

The famous Coke bottle suggests that glaziers and glass products play a crucial role in promoting food and other products. The level of competition in the food industry is one of the highest in America and globally, but unique packaging made of glass can become the main driver of business and market success. The Coke bottle was designed to meet two essential criteria: first, even if broken, the bottle should be recognized by its component pieces; second, even in darkness the bottle should be recognizable by touch. Glaziers faced a serious challenge but successfully accomplished their mission, turning the Coke bottle into one of the most popular global icons of marketing and style. Today, the bottle is easily recognized in all parts of the multicultural world.

The Coke bottle is so interesting and unique that consumers think that Coca-Cola from the bottle tastes different from the Coca-Cola sold in aluminum cans and plastic. Again, it is due to professional glaziers that Coca-Cola can create interesting impressions among consumers. In reality, packaging does not affect the taste of Coca-Cola. Arizona Glass professionals are well aware of this fact. We also know that the contribution made by glaziers in the promotion of Coca-Cola brands is difficult to overestimate. Glaziers fulfill one of the most difficult missions ? manufacturing products that attract and retain consumers.

Arizona Glass professionals know that their inventions and ideas can readily become part of someone else?s brand or reputation. Like Coca-Cola, all companies want to have their image and products recognized. Arizona Glass has experience, knowledge, and skills needed to make a positive difference in your business and personal life!
