Fast-Track Glass Solutions When You Can't Wait
Standard thermal glass manufacturing can take 1-2 weeks. But sometimes, you cannot wait that long. Whether you have a storefront that needs to open tomorrow, or a broken window in a nursery, time is of the essence. Installix offers emergency glass replacement services. While custom tempered units always require manufacturing time, we offer expedited ordering and temporary glazing solutions to get glass back in your frame faster than standard timelines.
What "Emergency Glass" Means
Expedited Manufacturing
We have relationships with local glass fabricators. For a premium fee, we can often "rush" the production of a standard double-pane unit to 2-3 business days instead of the usual 7-10.
Single Pane Cut-On-Site
For older single-pane windows or interior glass doors, we carry stock sheets of annealed and laminated glass. We can often cut and install this glass on the very same day.
Temporary Laminated Glass
For custom-sized sealed units that will take weeks (e.g., shaped glass), we can install a temporary piece of single-pane laminated safety glass. This looks better than plywood and lets light in while you wait for the permanent thermal unit.
The Solution: Speed & Safety
Our goal is to secure your property and restore aesthetics as fast as physically possible. We prioritize emergency calls in our scheduling queue.
Why Choose Installix?
- Inventory: We stock standard laminated safety glass for immediate cutting.
- Network: Our priority status with manufacturers allows us to jump the queue for sealed units.
- 24/7 Availability: We respond to calls evenings and weekends to assess the situation.
Technical Specifications
| Glass Type | Turnaround Time |
|---|---|
| Single Pane Laminated | Same Day / Next Day (Cut from stock). |

Our Process: Action Plan
Step 1: Immediate Measure
We arrive to measure the opening. If we can cut glass on site to fix it, we do.
Step 2: Order & Secure
If a custom unit is needed, we place the rush order immediately. We board up or film the window to keep it safe in the meantime.
Step 3: Priority Install
As soon as the glass leaves the factory line, we pick it up and install it.
Pricing Factors
- Rush Charges: Manufacturers charge a premium (often +25-50%) to prioritize a single unit.
- After Hours: Evening/weekend labor rates apply for emergency call-outs.
- Temporary Glazing: Installing temporary glass incurs a labor charge, plus the cost of the final install later.
