Frequently Asked Questions

An IGU is a sealed unit made of two or more panes of glass separated by a spacer and filled with insulating gas (argon). It improves energy efficiency, reduces noise, and prevents heat loss.

Common signs include:

• Fog or condensation between panes
• Cracked or broken glass
• Drafts or poor insulation
• Cloudy or hazy appearance

If the frame is still in good condition, you likely only need the glass replaced—not the entire window.

Yes! We replace only the insulated glass unit while keeping your existing frame. This is more cost-effective and less invasive than full window replacement.

Fogging happens when the seal inside the IGU fails, allowing moisture to enter between the panes. Once this happens, the glass unit needs to be replaced.

Low-E (low emissivity) glass has a special coating that reflects heat while allowing light in. It helps keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, improving energy efficiency.

Argon is a non-toxic, odorless gas placed between the panes of glass. It acts as an insulator, reducing heat transfer and improving overall window performance.

Yes. Replacing just the glass can save you significantly compared to full window replacement, especially if your frames are still in good condition.

Absolutely. New IGUs with Low-E coating and argon gas can reduce heat loss and help lower your heating and cooling costs.

Yes, we custom make glass units to match the size, thickness, and style of your current windows.

Yes, we offer a 10 year seal failure warranty.

• No glass is unbreakable
• The film holds shattered glass firmly in place
• It turns a 5-second smash-and-grab into a lengthy, noisy ordeal that deters criminals

• Standard security films are not ballistic or bulletproof
• While they can slow down a projectile or minimize shattering, specialized ballistic glass is required to stop bullets

• 8 Mil: The gold standard for home security and deterring intruders
• 12 Mil: High-level commercial protection 

• No, clear films are completely undetectable once installed
• Tinted versions are also available if you actively want added privacy and heat reduction

• It is always applied to the interior side of the glass
• This protects the film from weathering, making it last much longer

• Thicker films (8 mil and up) are stiff and difficult to squeegee without trapping water bubbles or leaving visible imperfections
• Professional installation ensures proper edge alignment and framing attachment systems 

Most high-quality films last between 10 to 15 years.

A door insert (or door glass) is a decorative or functional glass pane installed into an existing solid door slab. It allows you to transform a plain door into a decorative entryway without replacing the entire door system.

No. In most cases, we can install inserts directly into your existing steel, or fiberglass front door.

Yes, our professional installers can cut your existing door on-site to accommodate a larger size.

We offer a variety of textures—from clear to opaque—offering different levels of privacy. Wrought iron inserts, in particular, provide high privacy while still allowing light in.

We highly recommend painting your door after the new insert is installed to avoid damage to the finish during installation.

Please clear the area around your door (inside and out).

Yes, our team handles the removal and disposal of old units as part of the service.

No. Our door inserts are thermally sealed, contain Argon gas, and come with a pre-applied caulking sealant, offering high energy efficiency.
