Frequently Asked Questions About Glass Doctor Home + Business of Calabasas
Can you replace just one pane on a window?
No. Each double or triple pane window is manufactured in a quality-controlled environment and sealed carefully to keep air or gas trapped between the panes. As more and more windows include a heat reflective low-emissivity (Low-E) surface inside the unit, these become irreparable once moisture oxidizes the material, leaving a discoloured, mouldy appearance inside the unit. Even without a Low-E surface, the water staining that occurs from condensing and evaporating over and over leaves a hazy film on the glass that cannot ever be cleaned to perfection.
How do I know if my glass is a tempered safety glass?
If you use steam to fog the glass, you will see a tempered logo in one of the corners that shows the glass is safety glass. There are code requirements for safety glass as well. Consult with your local Glass Doctor for those requirements.
We are remodeling our bathroom and would like our existing mirror cut down to a smaller size. Can you do that?
Most likely. However, if the mirror is glued to the wall, there is no guarantee that it can be taken down without breaking. If you can get the existing mirror off the wall, we will need the mirror brought to our shop to cut down. There is no guarantee that the mirror will cut without breaking either. We cannot be responsible if a piece of glass or mirror that belongs to a customer breaks when trying to cut it, but we always do our best to cut carefully.
Only the bottom section of my window is broken. Do you have to change the entire sash
We specialize in glass replacement. We can, in most cases, remove the glass from the frame and install new glass. Your existing window sash will remain.
or can you just change the glass in my frame?
Scratch removal in residential glass and light commercial applications is not a commercially viable solution. Basically, it is labour-intensive and not very successful. Furthermore, if the customer is not satisfied with the result, they are understandably not willing to pay for the time and materials invested by the glass company. Scratch removal and scratch buffing systems exist; however, they are typically only practical in warehouses, industrial, and on larger commercial glass projects. Please call our Glass Doctor office if you would like a more detailed explanation.
Can you buff scratches out of glass?
Can Glass Doctor Home + Business of Calabasas replace just one pane in a double or triple pane window?
No, individual panes in double or triple pane windows cannot be replaced because these windows are sealed units that maintain air or gas between panes, and damage to one pane means the entire unit must be replaced.
How can I identify if my glass is tempered safety glass?
You can fog the glass with steam and look for a tempered logo in one of the corners, which indicates safety glass. Local code requirements also define safety glass standards; you can consult with Glass Doctor for details.
Can you resize an existing bathroom mirror during remodeling?
Most likely yes, if the mirror is not glued to the wall and can be removed intact. The mirror must be brought to the shop for cutting, but there is a risk it may break during removal or cutting; Glass Doctor is not responsible for breakage but will take care to cut carefully.
Do you have to replace the entire window sash if only one section is broken?
No, Glass Doctor specializes in glass replacement and can often replace only the glass while keeping your existing window sash intact.
Is scratch removal a practical option for residential or light commercial glass?
Scratch removal is generally not commercially viable for residential or light commercial glass due to labor intensity and limited success. It is typically only practical for large commercial or industrial projects.
