February 28, 2008 — MERRITT GLASS COMPANY, INC., of Pensacola is again featured as one of the elite glass shops to meet the safety standards of the Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standards Council, Inc. The company has agreed to adhere to the AGRSS standards for windshield replacement and is listed on the AGRSS official consumer website, www.safewindshields.com.

“The windshield is a vital part of the structural strength of any vehicle,” said Chip Merritt, Owner and President of Merritt Glass Company. “Most consumers don’t realize how an improperly replaced windshield puts them at risk. We are committed to complying with all of AGRSS’s safety standards.”

In a front end collision the windshield provides up to 45 percent of the structural integrity of the cabin of the vehicle and in a rollover, up to 60 percent, according to AGRSS.

Merritt Glass Company has certified its compliance with the six major sections of the AGRSS Standard that covers forty-three specific items of compliance.

AGRSS is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the safe replacement of auto glass and is an accredited American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-standards development organization. It has developed the world’s only auto glass replacement safety standards, addressing installation procedures, installer education and product performance.

The days of the leaky shower curtain getting water on the floor when you showered are eliminated with glass shower doors and bath enclosures. The hard to clean bottom tracks on the old style tub and shower doors have been eliminated. All the doors now roll on wheels at the top track and the bottom track is completely open for easy cleaning. All the hard work to maintain these doors is gone!

Choice is the new rule in shower doors and bath enclosures. “Custom” is now the new standard. We can build what you want to almost any size and configuration. The choice of framing colors has dramatically increased as has glass selection. There is full and rich variety of glass choices including colors and designer pattern glass. Bye, bye shower curtains!

Does anyone really believe this stuff? We all know nothing is free. Even if you are not charged for it, you do not get it free. You pay for it somewhere and it is likely to be in aftermarket windshields instead of OEM windshields, the materials used to install it (aftermarket instead of OEM), or by an installer with short experience and little training.

Then again, all the stuff they offer is FREE.

Pensacola windshield customers deserve better. There a still a few local owned companies around that understand your safety comes first and that OEM materials should be used for replacements. Merritt Glass Company, locally owned, is one of these companies.

Instead of gimmicks this is what we offer:

• OEM Products
• Certified Training from OEM Manufacturer’s
• Compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
• Adherence to Standards of the Auto Glass Replacement Safety Standard Council
• No Gimmicks…Professional Standards Only

And here is the secret that the gimmick companies do not want you to know: We all charge and are paid the same price for replacements paid by your insurance company. Using the logic of the gimmick companies, you get the OEM products and Safety Standards Compliance from Merritt Glass Company FREE.

Which type of company do you prefer? If it matters to you, tell your insurance company that you choose Merritt Glass Company for your windshield in Pensacola. You can call us 850-434-1668 and we will handle the claim with your insurance company.

Glass in the form of mirrors and shower doors have become a central feature of today’s bathrooms. Glass products benefiting busy families as well as those looking for a “spa” like environment are available today. Mirrors enhance by adding light to space and enlarging the feel of the room. Shower doors provide both a practical and decorative solution to any bathroom.

Shower doors are either “framed” or “frameless”. A framed shower door has aluminum framing around the glass and a visible frame that the door hangs from. A frameless shower door has no frame around the glass and minimal visible framing that the doors hangs from. Either type can be built to fit any size or shape that you may have. There is a wide selection of aluminum finishes and glass types for you to choose from. Shower door finishes are available to match your other bathroom fixtures.
