Glass Replacement
Cracked, broken or clouded panes are measured, cut and installed to fit the original steel channel — no oversized modern replacement units that distort a historic frame.
New pane, original steel channel
What's Included
The scope of work
- On-site measurement of the original glazing channel
- Cutting replacement glass to the exact historic dimensions
- Careful removal of broken or damaged panes
- Reglazing the new pane into the original steel channel
- Matching glass type (clear, textured, or wavy restoration glass) to the rest of the window
- Safe cleanup and disposal of broken glass
The Benefits
Why this matters
- Keeps the original steel frame intact instead of requiring a full window replacement
- Restores clarity and light without altering the historic look of the window
- Fixes a safety hazard from cracked or broken panes
- Far more affordable than a full sash or frame replacement
Common Problems
Signs you might need this
Visible crack or chip in a pane
Left alone, a small crack usually spreads with temperature changes.
Cloudy or foggy glass
Common in older single-pane glass and safely replaceable in place.
Missing or boarded-up pane
A temporary board isn't weathertight — the sooner it's replaced, the better.
