Replacement Double Panes For Doors and Windows FAQ

We can all agree that windows have a bit of a learning curve. Welcome to our comprehensive guide on all things related to replacement double-panes for doors and windows.

This guide will make it easy for you to make an informed choice. By the time you finish, you’ll know exactly what questions you want to ask us, and be able to answer the questions we might have for you.

It really is that easy to get a feel for our double-pane glass replacement process. Let’s get started.

Tempered double pane glass that needs replacement

Why replace a whole double-pane unit if only one side is damaged?

The integrity of a double-pane glass unit relies on its impeccable seal. If we were only to replace the damaged pane, we’d risk an imperfect seal, leading to unwanted moisture and fog.

Our double and triple-pane glasses are crafted with precision at specialized facilities to ensure top-tier quality.

Should I opt for a new door or a double pane insert?

Are you choosing between a complete replacement and an insert? Replacement glass for doors and windows is generally more budget-friendly, quick, and hassle-free.

However, a full replacement might be in order if your doors or windows show significant wear and tear. But, if they’re in good shape, a replacement double pane insert is your best bet.

What’s the difference between “double pane glass” and “insulated glass units”?

These terms and others like “thermal glass” or “dual-glazed glass” point to the same product. “Insulated glass units” or IGUs is the industry-preferred term.

Why do my windows get foggy?

Foggy windows sometimes occur in worn double-pane glass windows.

Double-pane windows have a pair of glass panes with a spacer filled with gas or air in between. The windows are sealed to block out external air.

However, over time, the damaging effects of UV rays, temperature changes, and other factors might weaken these seals, allowing moisture to creep in.

Can you match my window’s grid pattern?

Absolutely! We pride ourselves on recreating almost any grid pattern.

If we encounter a new design we have not worked with before, we can quickly transfer the grid from your current pane to your new one. This allows us to match the look you want seamlessly.
