When should you consider sliding glass door replacement?
There are several tell tale signs you need a patio glass door replacement including:
- Cracked glass
- Moisture between double pane glass
- Fogging occurs on the inside of the glass
- Draft is apparent anywhere around the glass or door
For cosmetic reasons you may also want to replace the glass if there are significant scratches visible.
Other problems can occur with the door itself leading to significant energy loss, safety issues or infestation.
- When a door becomes difficult to shut, it may be a sign of a worn part that can be easily replaced before further damage happens.
- Doors that slide off the tracks can be a signal of a damaged wheel or the track itself. Sometimes it just may need a cleaning and a little grease.
- Visible gaps between the door and frame should be addressed immediately before the door or window become ruined.
Can just the glass be replaced?
Usually yes. But we can give you an evaluation based on the condition and age of the door if it would be better to replace the glass or the entire door. Depending on the age, conditions and style changes, it may be cheaper to just replace the entire door. We can give you an accurate estimate of both options to help with any decisions.
