Safe, Rapid Replacement for Shattered Windows
A broken window is an immediate crisis. It compromises your home's security, safety, and heating. Whether it was a wayward baseball, a storm, or accidental impact, Installix provides fast broken glass replacement services. We specialize in matching your existing glass specs so the replacement looks identical to the original, restoring your home's envelope quickly.
Immediate Steps if Your Glass Breaks
1. Secure the Area
Keep children and pets away. Shards can travel surprisingly far. Do not attempt to pull large shards out of the frame yourself unless you have heavy gloves and eye protection.
2. Cover the Opening
If the weather is bad, tape cardboard or heavy plastic over the opening. Do not use duct tape directly on the frame finish if possible, as it leaves residue.
3. Call Installix
Take a photo of the damage and the whole window. This helps us bring the right tools and materials for the initial board-up or measurement.
The Solution: Safe Glass Extraction & Replacement
We safely remove the shattered remains of the old unit. We vacuum the frame track to remove tiny fragments that can jam mechanisms. We then install a new, custom-sized thermal unit.

Technical Specifications
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Annealed Glass | Standard for most windows. Breaks into large, sharp shards. |

| Laminated Glass | Stays in the frame when broken (spiderwebs). Best for security. |
Our Process: Rapid Response
Step 1: Secure & Measure
We stabilize the broken glass with safety film or remove it immediately. We take measurements for the replacement.
Step 2: Expedited Order
For broken windows, we can often request "Rush" status from our manufacturer (2-3 business days vs standard 7).
Step 3: Installation
We return to install the sealed unit, ensuring the glazing stops are secure and the window operates correctly.
Pricing Factors
- Glass Type: Tempered safety glass is more expensive than standard glass.
