Replace Window Glasses

Glass breaks for all sorts of reasons: a football, a slammed door, a sudden change in temperature on a hot day or a failed attempt at a break-in. Double-glazed units can also fail silently, with condensation or a milky haze forming between the panes once the seal around the edge gives way. In each case the frame is usually fine and only the glass needs replacing.

A professional glazier will make the opening safe, measure precisely and fit replacement glass that matches or improves on what was there. Through FixNow you can post a photo of the damage and receive offers from local glaziers across Cyprus, including Nicosia, Germasogeia and Paralimni, who replace glass in windows, balcony doors and sliding panels.

Glass replacement services

• Single panes: replacing cracked or broken single glass, often with an option to upgrade to a thicker or safer type.
• Double-glazed units: swapping misted or broken sealed units while keeping the existing frame.
• Safety glass: toughened or laminated glass for doors, low-level panes and areas where breakage would be dangerous.
• Performance upgrades: low-e, solar-control or acoustic glass to make rooms cooler or quieter.
• Obscured glass: frosted or patterned glass for bathrooms and street-facing rooms.
• Temporary securing: boarding or taping a broken pane safely until the new glass arrives, where needed.

Why a double-glazed unit mists up

Sealed units are filled with dry air or gas and edged with a seal and a desiccant spacer. Over years of heating and cooling, especially on sun-facing windows, that edge seal can fail. Moist air gets in, the desiccant saturates, and condensation appears between the panes. Cleaning cannot fix it; the unit has lost its insulating value and needs replacing. The good news is that the glazier only changes the sealed unit, not the frame.

Getting an accurate quote

• Photograph the damage: include the whole window and a close-up of the crack or misting.
• Measure the visible glass: rough width and height help, though the glazier will take exact measurements.
• Note any markings: etched stamps in the corner of the glass show whether it is toughened or laminated.
• Mention the location: doors, floor-level panes and upper floors affect the type of glass and how it is fitted.

Safety first with broken glass

Keep children and pets away from broken glass, and do not try to pull loose shards out of the frame yourself. Large panes are heavy and can shatter unexpectedly. Glaziers have gloves, suction lifters and the right methods to remove broken glass safely and dispose of it.
