Door Glass Replacement
Front Door Glass Replacement
Replace the glass in your front door without replacing the door. We fit a new stained glass, decorative glass, wrought iron or laser-cut iron insert into your existing door, and installation takes 30 minutes to an hour.
Included with every replacement
- Free installation in most existing front doors: solid steel, fibreglass, and doors with a builder’s insert
- Cutting, widening or lengthening the opening in the door at no extra cost, so a half-glass door can take a full-length insert
- Glass that is thermally sealed, filled with argon gas and caulked to the door, with an aluminum spacer bar rather than a ‘swiggle’ seal
- A new PVC or polypropylene trim that will not yellow, in white or black
- A 10-year seal warranty, with an official warranty certificate
Sliding patio doors
We do not replace the glass in sliding patio doors, but we have an excellent contact who repairs fogged or broken patio door glass. Just send a photo of the door to info@whatapane.ca.
How door glass replacement works
Most front doors do not need replacing to look new. The glass sits in a frame (the trim) that we take out, and a new insert goes in its place. We can install our inserts in most existing front doors, and if the opening has to be cut, widened or lengthened for the design you choose, there is no extra cost to you.
Choose a design at our Vaughan showroom, or we can come to your home with a choice of inserts, so you see them against your own house. If you fall in love with one, we can install it on the spot. Sidelights and a transom can be made to match, from the same materials as the door insert.
Planning to paint the door? Paint it after we install: soft paint marks easily when the old glass comes out. For broken glass, or glass with moisture between the panes, in a vinyl door or window, see window glass repair. For a back or side door, an insert with blinds between the glass gives you light and privacy.
