When it is time to replace the glass
- Cracked or chipped glass that creeps further every hot day and cold night.
- Foggy or misted double glazing. The seal has failed and moisture is trapped between the panes, so cleaning will not shift it.
- Scratched or scuffed panes from renovation work, cleaning grit or window furnishings.
- Old or thin glass in doors and low windows that should be toughened or laminated safety glass.
What we replace
Whether you call it reglazing or glass window replacement, the work is the same: the frame stays, the glass changes. We cover glass and window replacement for homes, units and small commercial sites.
Single pane windows
Our most common job. Timber, aluminium and uPVC frames, reglazed in place.
- Awning and casement sashes
- Double hung windows
Double glazed units
When the seal fails, the whole unit is replaced. That is what clears the fog for good.
- Misted and moisture-marked units
- Cracked outer or inner panes
Sliding and door panels
Heavy panels, toughened for good reason, handled with the right gear.
- Sliding and stacker panels
- French, bifold and entry door glass
Fixed panes and features
Picture windows and fixed highlights, plus feature and leadlight surrounds.
- Picture and fixed windows
- Obscure and privacy panes
Repair or replace? How we decide
Not every damaged window needs new glass, and we will tell you when it does not. Failed stays, sticking rollers and perished rubbers are hardware faults rather than glass faults, and a window glass repair of that kind is often sorted without touching the pane.
Once the glass is cracked through, chipped at an edge or fogged inside a sealed unit, replacement is the only proper fix, because a crack under load keeps travelling. Plenty of people pricing full window replacement in Melbourne find they only need the glass changed, and where the frame is sound that is the faster, less disruptive path.
Every replacement pane is sealed and finished properly, not just dropped in.
Glass types, and why they get chosen
Not sure what you have? We will tell you on site. Cutting and toughening in our own factory means we are not limited to what a supplier has left on the rack.
- Clear float. The standard for ordinary windows well away from doors and floor level.
- Toughened safety glass. Heat treated, far stronger, and it breaks into small blunt pieces instead of shards. AS 1288 calls for safety glass in doors, side panels, low windows and wet areas.
- Laminated. Two sheets bonded to an interlayer, so the pane holds together when it breaks. Chosen for security, road noise and UV control.
- Low-E and performance glass. Coated glass that slows heat moving in and out, usually in insulated units.
Measure, make, fit
- Tell us what you have. Your suburb, the window and what has gone wrong. We call back within two hours during business hours.
- Free measure and quote. A glazier checks the opening, the frame and the existing glass, confirms the right glass under AS 1288, and quotes in writing.
- Made at Dandenong South. Cut and toughened at our own factory, so the timeline is ours to control.
- Fitted and finished. Old glass and beading out, new pane in and sealed, offcuts taken away with us.
Broken now? We make it safe first
If the pane is already out and the opening exposed, that is an emergency rather than a planned job. We board up and make safe first, then return and fit the permanent glass once it is made. Same-day glazing is often possible where the glass is a standard type.
Urgent window glass repairs run through our emergency service, with response times of around 30 minutes for the CBD and inner suburbs, 45 minutes east and west, and 60 minutes north and south. Full detail is on our emergency glass repair page. If it can safely wait, book it in as planned window glass replacement instead.
Insurance claims, handled
Broken glass is often covered by home and landlord policies, and by business insurance for shopfronts and offices. We photograph the damage, write the quote clearly enough for an assessor to read, and deal with your insurer directly where that helps.

Window glass replacement questions
Can you replace just the glass and keep my frame?
Yes, most of the time. If the frame is sound and the hardware works, there is no reason to pull the whole window out.
My double glazing has fogged up. Can that be fixed?
A fogged unit means the seal has failed. It cannot be resealed reliably, so we measure the opening, make a new unit and fit it.
How long does the job take?
A standard pane is a short visit once the glass is made. Made-to-order units and unusual shapes take longer. We confirm timing at the measure.
Do you handle window glass repair as well?
Yes. Hardware and seal faults are often repairable without new glass. Broken, cracked or fogged glass gets replaced.
Can you match the glass in an older window?
Usually. Cutting and toughening in our own factory gives us room to match thickness, obscure patterns and odd sizes.
Will you use safety glass?
Wherever AS 1288 requires it. Doors, side panels, low windows and wet areas need toughened or laminated safety glass.
Which suburbs do you cover?
All of Melbourne. We are based at Dandenong South, so the south-east and bayside are our own backyard.
