Why Locals Choose This Option

Your repair begins with an in-home visit, where the technician removes the sash, measures the opening, and inspects the frame for rot or damage. This step ensures the new glass unit will fit snugly and perform as expected. Indianapolis area homeowners appreciate the quick turnaround, especially when dealing with broken glass or failed seals that affect heating and cooling costs.


Once measurements are confirmed, Glass and Mirrors Etc fabricates your insulated glass unit using commercial cutting equipment and seals it with desiccant and edge sealant to prevent future fogging. The crew returns to install the new unit, applying glazing compound or rubber gaskets to secure it within the frame. Each installation is tested for fit and seal integrity before the job is complete.


The process includes cleanup of old glass, disposal of broken panes, and a final inspection to ensure smooth sash operation. You'll receive care instructions to maintain the seal and glass clarity, along with contact details for ongoing support throughout Indianapolis and nearby communities.
