Can the glass be cut on site?
Suitable standard glass can be cut on site. Tempered, impact, and specialty glass is measured and ordered.
Standard suitable glass
We measure the existing frame and may cut glass to fit on site when appropriate.
Tempered, impact & specialty glass
Measured and ordered to specification, then installed on a return visit.
| Glass type | Cut on site? | What happens | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard suitable glass | May be, when appropriate | Measured and cut to fit on site. | Only where it suits the opening and applicable safety requirements. |
| Tempered glass | No | Measured and ordered to specification. | Tempered glass is sized before tempering and can’t be cut afterward. |
| Impact glass | No | Measured and ordered to match the system. | Impact glazing has specific construction and performance requirements. |
| Other specialty glass | Depends | Assessed, then potentially special-ordered. | Requirements vary by product and opening. |
Regular glass is never used as a substitute where safety or impact glazing is required.

Sliding door glass
Shattered sliding glass door glass replacement
A shattered sliding door panel needs a precisely sized replacement glass unit suitable for the existing door system. Because sliding door glass is commonly tempered, it is measured and ordered rather than cut on site.
For impact sliding glass doors, the replacement must meet the door system’s impact-rated requirements. We don’t replace laminated impact units with ordinary glass.

Impact glass
Impact glass replacement
Impact-rated glazing has specific construction and performance requirements, and the replacement must match the applicable system. Impact glass generally requires specialized fabrication and ordering.
We measure the opening, determine the specification, order the glass, and secure the opening in the meantime if needed.
Commercial
Emergency storefront glass replacement
For businesses, the path is straightforward: call, we assess, we replace where suitable — and board up the opening if special-order glass is needed.
Reopening timing depends on the glass required, so we’ll explain the options once we’ve seen the opening.
We help with
- Broken storefront windows
- Damaged glazed entrances
- Exposed openings
- Securing the property
Temporary board-up
When glass must be ordered, secure the opening first.
If the replacement requires specialty glass that can’t be cut and installed immediately, temporary board-up can help secure the opening while the correct product is ordered.
Board-up provides temporary protection until the replacement glass is installed.
Special-order glass
Before the special-order glass arrives
We provide an expected lead time when your replacement glass is ordered.

Broken glass safety
Broken glass can cause serious cuts, and large panels can fall. Keep people and pets away from the area. Please don’t handle large broken panels, remove impact glazing, climb onto broken frames, or install makeshift unsecured glass. Call and let a professional assess it.

FAQ
Broken glass replacement questions
Can you replace window glass without replacing the frame?
Often, yes. If the frame is sound, the damaged glass can be replaced with a suitable product while the frame stays in place.
Can you cut glass on site?
Yes, for suitable standard glass. We measure the existing frame and cut glass to fit on site when it is appropriate for the opening and applicable safety requirements.
Can tempered glass be cut on site?
No. Tempered glass is cut to size before the tempering process and cannot be cut afterward. A tempered replacement is measured and ordered in the correct finished dimensions.
How do you replace impact glass?
We measure the opening and determine the requirements of the existing system, then order impact glazing fabricated to match. The opening can be boarded up in the meantime if needed.
Do you replace shattered sliding door glass?
Yes. We measure the panel and order a replacement suited to your door system, including impact-rated units where the door requires them.
What if the glass must be ordered?
We measure, specify, and order the correct glass, secure the opening temporarily if needed, and return to install once the glass arrives. Lead times depend on the product.
Can you board up a storefront?
Yes. Temporary board-up can help secure a broken storefront opening while replacement glass is ordered.
Can you work on residential and commercial properties?
Yes. We replace glass for homes, condos, and businesses, including storefronts.
What information should I have when calling?
The property address, which window or door is broken, the approximate size of the opening, whether it is an impact window or door if you know, and whether the opening needs to be secured.
