Window Glass Replacement
Cracked or shattered pane? We connect you with experts who can replace the glass in your existing window frames.
A Clear and Simple Solution
A broken window pane compromises your home's security and energy efficiency. If your window frame is still in good condition, you often don't need to replace the entire window. LocalXR connects you with professionals who can replace just the glass, whether it's a single pane or a modern double-pane insulated glass unit (IGU).

Window Glass FAQs
What is the difference between annealed and tempered glass?
Annealed is standard glass. Tempered glass (or safety glass) is treated to break into small, dull pieces, making it safer. It is required by code in doors and windows near floors or tubs.
How long does it take to replace a pane of glass?
While the repair itself is fast, custom-ordering and manufacturing an insulated glass unit (IGU) to fit your window can take 1-3 weeks. A single pane replacement is often faster.
