1. Window Glass Replacement

If you have one window pane in the home that has broken or cracked it might be a good idea to replace that one glass pane rather than the entire window. This can be an economical solution that will improve the energy efficiency of your home. You should always consider a few key questions before deciding on whether window replacement is the right option for you.

If the pane has not broken completely, a glazier may typically install new glass without having to remove the existing frame or trim. This will likely to be less costly than replacing all your windows and improve the appearance of your home a fresh modern, contemporary look.

This kind of project is for those who have some experience in DIY home improvement projects. It is quite complicated and requires careful measurements of the old opening to ensure the perfect fit. If you decide to tackle this project on your own, it is recommended to wear protective eyewear and gloves to ensure safety and remove any shards left behind from the old glass if necessary. It is also recommended to consult an expert installer to avoid any mistakes which could prove costly or risky.

If you hire a glass company they'll have experience in measuring and installing new windows and doors and will ensure the perfect fit to minimize any drafts or leaks. A reputable glazing company will also provide alternatives and upgrades to improve the aesthetics, performance and security of your home.

2. Window Repair

Windows are crucial for comfort in the home and energy efficiency. When they work well, we don't give them a second thought, but when one becomes damaged or doesn't shut correctly, it's a major problem.

If it's a minor crack or a complete double glazing problem, our experts will fix the issue and prevent further damage to your windows. In the majority of cases, double glazing that has blown can be repaired without needing to replace the entire window. It involves removing the damaged pane of glass, resetting it and caulking around the frame.

If your windows are older, you might find a thin layer (called bedding) of putty on the frame. It can be removed to reveal a tough and brittle piece. This bedding is intended to give a more secure fit and to allow the glass to be securely against the frame once the points have been positioned. A little heat with a heat gun (never use a torch as too much heat can cause the wood to split) around the perimeter should soften the putty and make it easier to remove the glass. It's also an excellent idea to wear eye protection and work in a well ventilated area.

Protect your windows from future staining by applying hydrophobic coatings to the glass surfaces. This non-toxic permanent coating smothers water and liquids, reducing the frequency of cleaning. It's a cheap, easy addition that keeps your windows looking new and can save you money on maintenance costs. For the window doctors can apply window tints that block 99% of UV rays and help reduce the risk of skin damage and fading.

3. Window Frame Repair

Window frames are essential to the functionality and aesthetics of commercial buildings, however they also are susceptible to damage due to weather and other factors. If the frame of a window has been damaged, it may not be able to seal properly or protect the interior of the building from dust and moisture. In these situations Bayview Glass's expert experts can fix and restore frame integrity and improve the aesthetics of your building.

As time passes these stains can weaken the frames and lead to drafts and leaks. If you notice any stains on your window frame, it is crucial to take care to remove them before they become a problem. Otherwise, they can chemically bond with the glass and weaken the frames over time.

5. Glass Replacement


If your window or door glass is chipped, cracked or broken, you might be in need of a glazing specialist. It is essential to take the appropriate steps to repair or replace your glass. This will increase your home's energy efficiency and security.

Before you start making sure that your new piece of glass is the correct size for your door or window frame. To do this, determine the width and height of your glass pane with a tape measure or a piece of paper. Visit the glass or home improvement store to cut the pane.

After the glass has been cut after cutting, you'll need to take the old glass from the frame. Be cautious when doing this, as broken windows can cause serious injuries if handled incorrectly. When you are removing your glass, be sure to wear thick gloves and long clothing because there could be tiny, nearly invisible splinters which could cause injury. Also, you should take off any wood moldings or metal glazing points that hold the glass in place. If they're stuck, use a heating gun to soften them before trying to pry them out.

It's cheaper to replace a single glass pane than a complete window or a door. This is a great choice if you only care about the appearance of a particular glass. If you're experiencing any other issues with your window or door such as the balance, locks or frame, then replacing the entire window may be the most effective alternative. This will provide you with a complete solution, and allow you to customize the windows in your home to suit your lifestyle.
