Glass Repairs and Window Replacement FAQs
Is safety glass required near doors and floors?
Building rules specify where safety glass must be used, such as near doors, in some low level
windows and in bathrooms. Glaziers can explain which panes must be upgraded to safety glass when
they are replaced in your home.
Can fogged double glazed windows be repaired?
Fogging usually means the seal has failed. In many cases the sealed unit needs replacement rather
than a quick clean. When you post your job, include close up photos of the fogging and the frame
so glaziers can confirm likely solutions.
Should I replace frames at the same time as glass?
If frames are sound and suit current glass types, only the glass may need replacement. Rotten,
warped or badly corroded frames often make more sense to replace. Ask tradies to outline the pros
and cons of repair versus full window replacement for your situation.
Can new glass help with noise or heat?
Some glass types and double glazed units can improve noise and heat performance compared to old
single panes. Options depend on frame design and budget. Let tradies know if noise or heat is a
big concern so they can suggest suitable upgrades, not only like for like glass.
