FAQs about Glass & Glazing

  • Can foggy double-pane windows be repaired?

    When moisture appears between the panes of a double- or triple-pane window, the insulated glass unit (IGU) seal has failed. In most cases, a glazier can replace just the glass unit without replacing the entire window frame and sash — this costs $250–$600 per window versus $400–$1,200 for full window replacement. However, if the frame itself is damaged, warped, or rotted, full replacement may be the better option. A qualified glazier can assess whether IGU replacement or full window replacement makes more sense for your situation.

  • When is tempered glass required by code?

    Building codes require tempered (safety) glass in locations where breakage could cause injury: shower doors and enclosures, glass within 24 inches of a door, glass within 18 inches of the floor, glass near stairways and landings, and glass near hot tubs and pools. Tempered glass breaks into small, relatively harmless pebbles rather than dangerous shards. A professional glazier will know which installations require tempered glass per your local building code and will ensure code-compliant glass is used.
