Glass replacement isn’t all its cracked up to be
Certain glass windows can be repaired and do not require replacement when cracked. However the repair is delayed, the tiny “star” or crack is more than enough to weaken the entire window that may end up shattering completely. This is more easily done too in the summer months when the heat expands the glass of the window, weakening it further.
What to look for in a Glass repair specialist?

The Australian Glass and Glazing Association (www.agga.org.au) certify specialists only after they have been examined on how to repair glass safely, and also offer training to their members in the latest techniques.
- Ask lots of questions, including what type of glass is to be used, what shade it will come in and what safety grade the glass will be.
- Always ask for references from prior customers.
- Always ask for an upfront quote and compare it to the quotes of several other glass repair specialists.
