Glass Replacement in Orlando, FL
Foggy, cracked, or shattered sliding door glass is more than an eyesore, it lets heat and humidity in and drives up your cooling bill. We replace failed and broken sliding door glass units.
Most modern sliding doors use an insulated glass unit, or IGU, two panes of glass with a sealed air or gas gap between them that keeps the Florida heat out and your cool air in. When the seal around that unit fails, moisture gets in between the panes and you see that telltale foggy, hazy look that won't wipe off from either side. Once an IGU fogs up, the insulating value is gone, the door works your AC harder, and no amount of cleaning brings the clarity back, the unit has to be replaced.
Central Florida is hard on these seals. Relentless sun on a south- or west-facing door heats the glass and the seal all day, and that constant thermal cycling, combined with our humidity, breaks seals down over time. A door that fogs up is telling you the seal has failed, and replacing the glass unit restores both the clear view and the insulation you're paying for.
We also replace glass that's cracked or shattered, whether from an impact, a thrown rock from the mower, or storm debris. Broken sliding door glass is a safety and security issue, so we handle it promptly. We measure your panel, order the correct replacement unit in tempered safety glass as sliding doors require, and install it properly so the door is safe, sealed, and back in service.
When we replace the glass, we also check the rollers, track, and hardware, because a glass job is a good time to make sure the whole door is right. We'll give you an honest assessment and an upfront price before ordering anything.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my sliding door glass foggy between the panes?
That fog means the seal on your insulated glass unit has failed and moisture has gotten between the two panes. It can't be cleaned out because it's inside the sealed unit. The fix is replacing the glass unit, which also restores the insulation you've lost.
Can you replace just the glass, not the whole door?
In most cases, yes. If the frame, rollers, and track are sound, we replace just the failed or broken glass unit, which is far less costly than a whole new door. We measure your panel and install a correct-fit replacement.
Is sliding door glass special glass?
Yes. Sliding doors require tempered safety glass, which is heat-treated to be much stronger and to break into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards if it ever fails. We always install proper tempered units to code.
My glass is cracked, how fast can you replace it?
We treat cracked and shattered glass as a priority because it's a safety and security issue. Once we measure your panel we order the correct tempered unit and install it as soon as it's in. Call us and we'll walk you through the timing.
