Glass Replacement
Replacement of damaged or outdated glass panels in building façades, curtain walls, or windows to improve performance, appearance, and energy efficiency.
What Glass Replacement Is
Glass replacement involves removing broken, damaged, or outdated glazing and installing new glass panels that restore the building’s performance and aesthetic.
On commercial and multi-storey buildings, large expanses of glass can account for a significant portion of the building envelope and have a direct impact on insulation, comfort, and operating cost.
When Glass Replacement Is Needed
Glass replacement typically provides value in situations such as:
Glass is broken, cracked, or structurally compromised
Seals have failed, resulting in condensation or air leak paths
Performance upgrades are desired (better thermal or solar control)
Aesthetics are important for brand or tenant experience
Building operation costs are higher due to inefficient glazing
Windows and glazed façades that no longer perform as intended can contribute to heat loss in winter, heat gain in summer, and reduced occupant comfort.
