Ventilation & Views Restored
Garden doors offer the best of both worlds: the full-view aesthetic of a patio door with the functionality of a standard swinging entry door. Typically, one panel swings open (often with a screen) while the other remains fixed. When the glass in either panel breaks or fogs, it disrupts the connection to your backyard oasis. Installix provides expert garden door glass replacement, ensuring your venting and fixed panels match perfectly and perform efficiently in Newmarket's variable climate.
Common Garden Door Issues
Broken Mechanisms & Glass
Because the operating panel swings (unlike a slider), it is prone to slamming in the wind, which can shatter the glass. The crank mechanisms on venting sidelites also put stress on the frame and glass seals.
Mismatched Panels
Often, the fixed panel (which doesn't move) will last longer than the venting panel. If one fogs up and you replace it, standard glass might look different than the old glass. We specialize in matching tints and Low-E coatings so both doors look identical.
The Solution: Insert Replacement
Most garden doors use a "glass insert" system with a plastic or wood frame that screws into the door slab. We can replace just the glass unit inside this frame, or if the frame is yellowed/cracked, we can replace the entire glass-and-frame insert assembly.
Why Choose Installix?
- Venting Unit Repair: If your garden door has a side venting window (a mini-casement inside the door), we can replace the glass in that specific section.
- Screen Integration: We ensure the new glass installation doesn't interfere with your sliding screen track.
- Security: We use high-strength tempered glass to resist impact and forced entry.
Technical Specifications
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Glass | Tempered Safety Glass (Mandatory by code). |
| Operation | Fixed Lite vs. Operating Sash. We service both. |
| Internal Blinds | We can supply new inserts with internal "mini-blinds" between the glass for a dust-free shading solution. |
Our Process: Seamless Swap
Step 1: Identification
We identify the door manufacturer if possible, or measure the "cut-out" size of the slab to determine the correct insert size.
Step 2: Ordering
We order the custom thermal unit or the full insert kit.
Step 3: Installation
We unscrew the interior trim, remove the old unit, clean the opening, and bed the new unit in sealant. It's a quick process that minimizes open-hole time.
Pricing Factors
- Insert vs. Glass Only: Replacing the entire plastic frame surround + glass is often cheaper/easier than re-glazing just the glass in an old yellowed frame.
- Blinds: Adding internal blinds increases the unit cost.
- Grids: Matching custom grid patterns requires custom manufacturing.
