When the glass in a sliding patio door broke at a West Sacramento home this July, the homeowners needed the opening closed up the same day. Our crew came out on July 23 and boarded up the broken panel with plywood and OSB, so the house was secure and weather tight while the replacement glass was made.
A week later we were back with the permanent fix. We installed a new dual pane, Low-E tempered glass unit sized at 32 1/2 by 73 inches into the existing door frame. Tempered safety glass is required in patio doors, and the Low-E coating helps keep summer heat out and winter warmth in, which makes a real difference on a door that faces the backyard sun.
To finish the job, we returned in mid-August to install a new screen door and screen door track, so the slider glides smoothly and the family can open it up for fresh air again. From broken glass to plywood to a fully working door with a new screen, the whole project was handled by one local team.
If a door or window breaks after hours, our 24 hour emergency board up services keep your home secure until the glass is ready. And if your slider is foggy, drafty, or hard to open, see our patio door repair and replacement options. Call Glass West for a free estimate.
