Glass is integral to modern architecture, serving as windows, doors, balustrades, partitions, and facades. When panes break, fog, crack, or lose their seal, the safety and performance of the building envelope are compromised. Vernon Glass replacement becomes imperative—not only to restore aesthetics and energy efficiency, but to ensure compliance with building codes and protect occupants. At Glass Project Solutions Ltd., we specialize in replacing all types of architectural glass, from single‑pane windows to complex insulated units, tempered safety glazing, and laminated panels. We combine engineering know‑how with meticulous craftsmanship to deliver durable, code‑compliant installations tailored to your project.

Architectural glass is engineered to have a low probability of breakage and to support design loads for decades. However, once cracked or shattered, it loses its structural integrity—even if the fragments remain in the frame. Broken glass cannot provide the load‑bearing capacity or impact resistance required by building codes.
Both the International Building Code (IBC) and the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC) specify that glass in “hazardous locations” must be safety glazing. Hazardous locations include doors and sidelites, windows near the floor, guards and railings, wet areas like bathrooms, and glazing near stairways. Safety glazing may be tempered, laminated, heat-strengthened, or heat‑soaked tempered glass
Damaged glass reduces insulation and allows drafts, condensation, and UV infiltration. Fogging or condensation between panes indicates a seal failure—common in older double‑pane windows—and requires complete replacement. Upgrading to new insulated glazing units with low‑E coatings and gas fills significantly improves thermal performance, reduces energy bills, and enhances comfort.
Cracked or broken glass degrades curb appeal and can result in additional damage from water intrusion or insect infestation. On-time replacement saves interior finishes and mechanical systems and helps to protect your property’s value. For commercial buildings, clear and unbroken storefront glazing is key to branding and security.
Tempered glass is heat‑treated to increase strength and breaks into small, blunt fragments for safety. It is used indoors, in shower enclosures and windows near the floor. Heat‑soaked tempered glass undergoes an additional thermal cycle to reduce the risk of spontaneous breakage caused by nickel‑sulfide inclusions.
Laminated glass comprises two or more panes bonded by a plastic interlayer, typically PVB or SentryGlas®. When broken, the interlayer holds fragments together, maintaining a barrier. Laminated glass is required for glass guard rails and railings in certain positions relative to the floor edge and for hurricane or high-security applications. It also offers UV protection and sound attenuation.
Heat‑strengthened glass is partially tempered, offering higher strength than annealed glass without the fragmentation pattern of fully tempered glass. It is sometimes used in laminated assemblies to meet specific building code requirements.
IGUs, commonly called double‑pane or triple‑pane windows, consist of two or more glass panes separated by an air or gas-filled spacer. The cavity improves insulation, and low‑emissivity (low‑E) coatings reflect infrared heat while allowing visible light. Upgrading to IGUs improves energy performance and reduces condensation and noise.
Our technicians examine the broken glass to find out whether it can be repaired or should be replaced. We determine safety glazing requirements, measure the frame, and determine the condition of the sash or structure. On wood windows, new glass is fabricated 1/8 inch narrower than the opening so that it can expand and is easier to set in place.
We cordon off the area to protect occupants from shards and wear personal protective equipment (gloves, eyewear, long sleeves). Broken glass is carefully removed using specialized tools and disposed of responsibly.
We select the appropriate replacement glass—tempered, laminated, heat-soaked, or IGU—based on code requirements and user needs. Glass is fabricated to precise dimensions with polished edges, holes, notches, or coatings as specified. For IGUs, we integrate warm‑edge spacers and gas fills to optimize thermal performance.
The frame is cleaned and checked for damage. Wood frames may require sanding, priming, or epoxy repair; metal frames may need corrosion removal and paint. We apply a thin bead of glazing compound to the rabbet (glass seat) and set the glass into place.
Glazier’s points—small metal clips—are installed every 4–6 inches around the perimeter to hold single‑pane glass in place. For IGUs, we use structural silicone or adhesive tapes recommended by the manufacturer. In commercial storefronts, glazing pockets and pressure plates secure the glass to framing systems.
We form glazing compound into a 3/8 inch rope and press it around the perimeter, “triangulating” it with a putty knife. The compound cures over several days; we paint slightly onto the glass edge to seal out moisture. For IGUs or structural glazing, we use weather‑resistant sealants and apply exterior stop covers.
