Emergency glass replacement involves removing the glass from your window sash or frame, depending on how the window is made. Glass replacement is typically an option when the window frame is new or in relatively good condition, but you’ve run into a problem like a broken or cracked glass pane.

Whole window replacement involves removing the entire window and replacing it with a completely new unit. If the windows in your home are old, in poor working condition, inoperable, or have single-pane glass, whole window replacement is a good option.

Glass-only replacement is always an option when your window frames are in good shape, but you’re having problems with the glass. Homeowners usually choose glass-only replacement when the glass in the sash is broken or if they regularly have problems with condensation between the glass panes.

We generally consider glass-only replacement as a short term solution to window problems unless:

  • Your window frames are relatively new and the glass in the sash is broken.
  • You have historic wood single-pane glass windows.

Window replacement involves more than replacing the glass. Our window replacement projects require removing the entire existing window down to the original rough opening in the wall framing.

Condensation between the glasses becomes a problem when the seals around the glass have failed. The seals fail because of continued expansion and contraction in the window frame. Buying replacement windows designed to reduce expansion and contraction will reduce the likelihood of dealing with condensation between the glasses again.

The glass in your window blocks air and allows light to enter your rooms but the glass alone offers no major insulation. Non-toxic non-visible gas between the glass panes and glass coatings contributes to the window’s energy performance. Modern replacement windows offer better energy efficiency than older windows made with poor frame materials or single pane glass.

Some of our clients decide to upgrade their existing windows because they are no longer operable or energy-efficient. Still, many more decide to replace their windows because they want to change the look of their home. So out with old single-pane aluminium windows and in with new fiberglass-clad wood windows or maintenance-free vinyl windows.
