FAQs

Tempered glass is a safety material created through a process applied after cutting. This process strengthens the glass surface against impact and causes it to break into small pieces that are less likely to cause serious injury. It's important to note that the edges and corners of tempered glass are particularly sensitive to impact. When you need glass replacement, make sure you call our team!

For most standard cabinet doors, we suggest using 1/8" thick glass. For unusually long doors, we might recommend thicker glass, up to 1/4". Alternatively, tempered glass can be used for enhanced safety. For reliable glass replacement services, be sure to call us!

For glass shelving, we typically recommend glass thickness ranging from 1/4" to 1/2". The specific thickness depends on the shelf size and its support structure. Give us a call for glass replacement services!

Yes. Our glass replacement company has a vendor who can sandblast grooves in the glass for plates.

For protecting an existing wood table, we recommend at least 1/4" thick glass. For tables over 6ft long or with more than 1/8" bow, 3/8" thickness may be advised. For standalone glass tops on pedestals, we suggest a minimum of 3/8" or 1/2" thickness. While 3/4" glass is available, it's very heavy, and we can't guarantee the base's ability to support it. Don't wait to give us a call for glass replacement services!

Yes, if the table top is used outside as a patio table or is near a pool. Also, if it is used in a commercial space and/or if the glass will be the actual table surface without support.

 

The only time we do not recommend tempered glass is in the event you are protecting an existing top. If tempered glass breaks, it will shatter into a million tiny pieces that are not sharp enough to seriously injure anyone, but it will damage the top you are trying to protect with the glass in the first place.

No. When one side breaks, the window is no longer insulated. The replacement units are ordered sealed from the manufacturer with the same kind of grids between the glass (if applicable). Don't wait to call us for glass replacement services!

While there are numerous Low-E window brands, we offer two tints of Low-E glass that closely match most manufacturers' products. Our lighter tints are Cardinal 270 and Vitro Solar ban 60, while our darker tints are Cardinal 366 and Vitro Solar ban 70XL. Any slight color difference is usually minimal and not easily noticeable.

For a preliminary quote for glass replacement, please send us photos of the window from both inside and outside views via text or email. Include approximate dimensions of the visible glass area (not the entire window) and the property address. Also, specify the number of windows needing replacement.

There's no direct charge if you complete the preliminary quote steps first. If the initial estimate is acceptable, we'll send someone for precise measurements and a final quote at no cost. Alternatively, we offer a $190 service to assess all windows in your home needing glass replacement, which is fully credited towards your eventual order.
