What Is Window Re-Glazing?
Window re-glazing involves replacing the glass in an existing window while keeping the original frame intact. This process is ideal for windows with damaged, cracked, or broken glass. During re-glazing, the old glass is carefully removed, and new glass is installed using glazing putty or silicone sealant to secure it. This service restores the window’s functionality and helps improve energy efficiency.

Window Re-Glazing FAQs
What Is the Difference Between Window Re-Glazing and Window Replacement?
Window re-glazing involves replacing only the glass in an existing frame, while window replacement involves removing both the glass and the frame and installing a completely new window. Re-glazing is often a more affordable and quicker option if the frame is still in good condition, whereas replacement is necessary when the frame is damaged or outdated.
Can Window Re-Glazing Improve Energy Efficiency?
Yes, re-glazing can help improve energy efficiency by replacing broken or inefficient glass and sealing any drafts around the window. Installing insulated glass units (IGUs) during re-glazing can further enhance insulation, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, which can reduce heating and cooling costs.
How Long Does Window Re-Glazing Take?
The time required for re-glazing depends on the size and condition of the window and the type of glass being installed. Generally, the process can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day. At Glass Service 8 Inc., we offer fast, reliable service, often providing same-day re-glazing for most residential and commercial windows.
Is Window Re-Glazing Covered by Insurance?
Window re-glazing may be covered by insurance if the damage is due to an accident or natural disaster. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage and how re-glazing services fit into your policy.
