Maximize Light Flow Inside Your Home
Glass isn't just for exterior windows. Interior glass features—like transoms above doors, borrowed lites (windows between rooms), and glass cabinet doors—are essential for distributing natural light throughout your home. When these break or you want to update them from clear to frosted, you need a delicate touch. Installix provides interior glass installation and replacement. We help you create bright, open-concept feels in segmented spaces or restore the charm of vintage interior glazing.
Common Interior Glass Projects
Transoms Above Doors
Common in Victorian Mississauga homes and modern builds alike, these windows above interior doors allow light to travel from room to hallway while maintaining privacy. We replace broken panes or swap clear glass for textured glass.
Borrowed Lites
A "borrowed lite" is a window in an interior partition wall (e.g., between a kitchen and a dark dining room). We can install new glass in existing frames or replace dated amber/patterned glass with modern clear or frosted options.
Pass-Throughs
Kitchen pass-throughs or reception sliding windows often have worn tracks or broken glass. We service these functional openings.
The Solution: Custom Cut Single Pane
Unlike exterior windows, interior glass is usually single-pane (non-thermal). This allows us to cut glass to size on-site or order custom tempered sheets for quick installation.
Why Choose Installix?
- Trim Carpentry Care: We carefully remove wood stops and trim to access the glass without damaging your paint or stain work.
- Safety Upgrades: We recommend replacing old plate glass in doors/transoms with Laminated or Tempered glass to prevent injury.
- Style Updates: We can modernize a home by replacing dated "bottle bottom" or yellowed glass with clean, acid-etched glass.
Technical Specifications
| Application | Glass Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Doors/Low Windows | Tempered Glass: Mandatory by code for impact safety. |
| High Transoms | Annealed or Laminated: Standard glass is acceptable if out of reach, but laminated prevents falling shards. |
| Bathrooms | Acid Etched Tempered: Provides privacy and safety in slip-prone areas. |
Our Process: Precise & Tidy
Step 1: Measurement
We measure the opening and check the rebate depth (how much room is there for the glass).
Step 2: Cutting/Ordering
We cut standard glass at our shop or order tempered glass from the furnace.
Step 3: Installation
We set the glass on neoprene blocks to prevent rattling. We secure it with wood stops or silicone, ensuring a clean, rattle-free fit.
Pricing Factors
- Glass Type: Tempered glass is more expensive and takes longer (5-7 days) than standard glass.
- Shape: Arched interior transoms require templates and custom cutting.
- Access: High foyer windows may require scaffolding.
