What goes wrong
Sliding door glass fogs up when the seal on an insulated unit fails, cracks from impact or stress, or shatters entirely. Foggy glass means the insulating gas is gone; cracked tempered glass is a safety hazard that needs the correct replacement panel.
How we fix it
We measure and source the correct tempered or insulated glass unit for your door, safely remove the old panel, and install the new glass with fresh seals. We handle single-pane, dual-pane, and impact glass.
Signs you need glass replacement
- Foggy or cloudy glass that won't wipe clean
- Cracked, chipped, or shattered pane
- Condensation trapped between panes
- Whistling or drafts around the glass
What We Inspect
- Glass type: single-pane, dual-pane insulated, or impact-rated
- Seal condition on insulated units, the source of interior fogging
- Frame and glazing bead condition around the pane
- Exact panel dimensions and thickness for an accurate order
Repair vs. Replacement
Foggy insulated glass and cracked or chipped panes both call for full glass replacement, there's no repair for a broken seal or compromised tempered glass. What varies is the glass spec: matching single-pane, dual-pane, or impact-rated glass to your existing frame and local code.
Our Process
- 1. Measure the exact opening and confirm glass type and thickness
- 2. Order the correct tempered, insulated, or impact-rated unit
- 3. Safely remove the damaged glass from the frame
- 4. Install the new glass with fresh glazing seals
- 5. Inspect the seal and reset the panel in the track
