Broken tempered glass in a storm door. Notice how small the pieces are.
We offer many choices in replacement glass.
Do you have cracked, broken, or foggy glass in one of your doors? Almost all door glass is tempered double-pane glass which we can change out quickly without any disruption or mess. Older doors and storm doors may only be single-pane glass, which is also simple to address.
By code, door glass must be safety glass. All our door panels will be tempered for your protection. Tempered glass is tougher glass which breaks into pebble-sized pieces which is much less dangerous than shards of old-fashioned annealed glass. In the photo to the right is an example of broken tempered glass in a storm door. Notice how small the pieces are.
HOW DO WE CHANGE DOOR GLASS?
Replacing a sliding patio door fogged glass panel.
Single Pane
Single-pane glass is cut to size and tempered. This is the standard for storm doors in older exterior doors that cannot accept insulated double-pane glass. In places with high breakage concerns, we use acrylic sheets. Acrylic is sometimes called by one of its brand names, Plexiglass®. We sell high-quality Plaskolite acrylic. In extreme security situations we can use super strong polycarbonate glass.
Double-Pane Insulated Glass Panels
Most modern french and sliding patio doors come with removable glass panels similar to modern windows. Rather than changing the whole door we can simply pop out the panels and replace the glass. Many times, replacing the whole door involves costly and messy work of jamb replacement. You can dramatically reduce the work and expense by buying a replacement double-pane insulated glass panel.
