Once a window cracks, fogs, or stops functioning like it should, your building envelope integrity is impaired. Windows cannot only act as windows to light and a viewpoint, but they also keep you safe from the weather, assist in controlling indoor climate, and add to the safety and beauty of your house. Left windows invite drafts, moisture, and security.
Glass Project Solutions Ltd. offers comprehensive Summerland glass window replacement services for homes and commercial buildings in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Penticton, Summerland, and Vernon. We replace single panes, double- and triple-pane insulated glazing units (IGUs), tempered safety glass, and laminated windows—ensuring each replacement meets Canadian building codes and provincial regulations.

Tempered glass is heated and then quickly cooled to high temperatures and is four to five times stronger than regular (annealed) glass. Upon breaking, it is broken into tiny, sharp fragments that minimize the chances of injury. The building codes mandate the use of tempered glass in risky places like doors, windows that are close to the floor, glazing of stairways, and wet places. Tempered replacements are made in different shapes, thicknesses (usually 412 mm), and clear, tinted, or low-iron.
Laminated glass sandwiches a clear interlayer (PVB or ionoplast) between two or more lites. If struck, the glass may crack, but the interlayer holds fragments together, preventing fallout. Laminated glass offers sound reduction, UV protection, and extra security. It’s mandatory for railings, overhead glazing, and sometimes for large windows near the floor or where post-breakage retention is required. We supply laminated units with clear or tinted interlayers, custom colours, and decorative films.
IGUs consist of two or three panes separated by a spacer and sealed at the perimeter. The air or inert gas (argon, krypton) in the cavity provides insulation; low‑E coatings reduce heat transfer by reflecting infrared energy. For replacement, we match the original unit size and thickness, while upgrading to warm‑edge spacers and advanced coatings for better performance. Triple-pane IGUs are ideal for cold climates where maximum insulation is desired.
Low-iron glass is specially designed to contain reduced iron content, offering clearer views and more accurate color rendering, making it ideal for premium projects where clarity and visual quality are paramount. Tinted and reflective glass, available in shades like bronze, grey, or blue, helps reduce glare and solar heat gain, while reflective coatings enhance daytime privacy by preventing clear visibility from the outside.
A cracked or broken glass not only loses its load-bearing capacity, but also does not work as it was intended. Glass can fall, or become dangerous, even when there are shards left in the frame. Many windows are designated in building codes as hazardous locations, such as the area next to a door, near the floor, or in a stairway or wet location, and must use safety glass (tempered or laminated) to reduce harm in case of breakage. When the windows in these places crack, they cannot be repaired; you have to replace them with certified safety glazing that is up to performance standards. Our replacements are etched or labeled to demonstrate compliance and give the required records to the inspectors.
Windows contribute to a building’s thermal performance. Broken or worn-out glass is a source of draft and heat exchange, so HVAC systems have to work harder, and the energy bills rise. Condensation/fogging between panes: This is an indication that the seal is broken in insulated units and that it cannot be repaired and should be replaced. Insulation can be dramatically enhanced by upgrading to double- or triple-pane IGUs with low-E (low-emissivity) coatings and inert gas fills that cut condensation and satisfy energy standards. In winter and summer, our replacements offer superior U-values and solar heat gain coefficient, which make it more comfortable.
New windows update the look of your home, add to resale value, and enhance architectural style. We provide transparent low-iron glass to achieve maximum clarity, colored glass to control the sun, frosted or etched glass to provide privacy, and decorative laminated glass with a special interlayer. Clear, crack-free glazing reflects the views and completes the general design of a modern or heritage building.
Old or damaged windows often stick, rattle, or fail to close properly. Replacing them ensures smooth operation, improved security, and easier ventilation. New hardware—hinges, locks, and handles—matches the performance and style of your upgraded glass.
| Sign | Description |
|---|---|
| Cracks or Chips | Cracked glass not only looks unsightly but also compromises safety and structural integrity, making replacement necessary for both appearance and function. |
| Fogging or Cloudiness Between Panes | This indicates a failed seal in insulated units; replacing the entire IGU is the only solution to restore clarity and insulation. |
| Difficulty Opening or Closing | Warped frames, broken hardware, or sash issues can lead to drafty, hard-to-operate windows, requiring replacement for smooth operation and energy efficiency. |
| Drafts or Air Leaks | Poor seals allow cold air in and warm air out. Replacing with well-sealed IGUs eliminates drafts and reduces energy costs. |
| Mould or Water Damage | Water infiltration around the frame indicates failing seals or flashing, which can lead to rot. Replacing both glass and frame may be necessary. |

The windows could be old with inefficient single-pane glass, a worn-out frame, and poor seals. Although small cracks or chips in new, double-pane glass may be repaired, sometimes a large crack or a crack in an old material will justify complete replacement. Our crew assesses the age and condition of your windows and recommends the repairs or replacement that is more valuable in the long term.
It is possible to repair minor chips or small cracks with a professional epoxy repair. Two-part epoxy is a combination of resin and a hardener mixed in equal proportion, and adheres to glass. The mixed epoxy is placed on the crack and left to cure, after which excess is scraped off with a razor. Repairs can only be done on single-pane glass; insulated units (double- or triple-pane) that have failed seals need to be replaced. Cracks or broken safety glass will need replacement in order to be code-compliant.
Minor repair is usually cheaper than installing a new window. However, replacement can be more economical in the long run when damage is widespread or windows are old and inefficient. We provide clear estimates of both alternatives and assist you in comparing short-term costs to energy savings and maintenance over a long period of time.
Replacing inefficient windows with modern IGUs improves insulation and comfort. Low‑E coatings and inert gas fills reduce heat transfer, while triple‑pane units provide exceptional thermal performance. Upgrading may also qualify for rebates or contribute to meeting energy codes in new construction or major renovations.
Safety glazing in dangerous areas is provided by building codes. When you are repairing or replacing glass close to doors, floors, stairs, or wet places, you will need tempered or laminated glass, which is safe. These regulations are met by our company, and the documentation, including etching or labelling, is provided to confirm the type of glass.
Replacing old or damaged windows restores security, improves energy efficiency, and enhances the beauty of your home. With Glass Project Solutions Ltd., you receive expert guidance, quality materials, and professional installation tailored to your needs. Our commitment to safety glazing, energy performance, and code compliance ensures peace of mind for homeowners, builders, and architects alike.
