“Alex did an amazing job on one of our projects. I would definitely recommend him! We had a shattered patio door, and he was able to come by on short notice to provide a free estimate. His pricing was very reasonable, and he gave us a clear timeline for when the job would be completed. The entire process was professional, efficient, and stress-free.”

“I had a fantastic experience replacing a few cracked and foggy window Glasses. The service was incredibly speedy—from the initial measurements to manufacturing and the final installation, everything was successfully completed within just one week. The new glass looks crystal clear and the installation was flawless. Highly recommend their services!”

“We recently had a break in attempt at our business and the front storefront glass was damaged. The team responded quickly, cleaned up the broken glass, and temporarily boarded up the opening to keep the business secure. Once the custom glass was ready, Max came back and completed the storefront glass replacement professionally, including sealing the new glass and finishing everything neatly. Communication was clear, the price was fair, and the final result looks clean and secure. I would definitely recommend them for emergency storefront glass replacement in Etobicoke.”

Intact glass only, within safe reach. Do not touch or measure damaged glass, remove glazing or climb to reach a pane. Leave any measurement blank if you are unsure.

Prefer to talk it through? Call (647) 643-5837. For broken glass or an unsecured property, call for immediate emergency dispatch, 24/7.

What are you measuring?

Pick the closest match. Each one opens the specific things worth measuring and photographing.

True of every measurement

Measure intact, safely accessible glass only
For this tool, record the visible pane rather than the outside of the frame. Do not touch damaged glass, remove glazing or climb. Skip any measurement you cannot take safely.
Three readings each way, keep the smallest
Record the smallest visible width and height as approximate notes for the visit. These are not manufacturing dimensions; concealed edges, clearances and final sizes are checked on site.
A rough measurement beats no measurement
These details help us prepare for your estimate visit. They are not manufacturing sizes or a final quote. We inspect and measure on site, then confirm the materials, scope and price before any paid work begins.

Reference

Measuring guides by glass type

Prefer to read? Open the guide for your glass type.

Sealed unit (double or triple pane)

A window that has fogged, misted or cracked, with two or three panes of glass in one unit.

  1. Measure the glass you can see, not the frame

    Run the tape across the visible glass, from where it disappears into the frame on one side to where it disappears on the other. The frame's outside dimension is a different number and it is the wrong one. Do the same top to bottom.

  2. Take three readings each way and keep the smallest

    On intact, safely accessible glass, measure the visible width at the top, middle and bottom, then the height at the left, middle and right. Enter the smallest readings as approximate notes only. We confirm concealed edges, clearances and final sizes on site.

  3. Count the panes

    On intact glass, a phone light held at an angle can help estimate the pane count: two reflections often indicate one pane, four indicate two and six indicate three. Coatings can make this harder to read. Do not use a flame or touch damaged glass; leave this blank if you are unsure.

  4. Note anything between the panes

    Tell us whether decorative bars appear to sit between the panes or on the surface. A photograph can help us discuss matching options. Do not touch the glass or remove anything to check; leave this detail blank if unsure.

  5. Look for a stamp in a corner

    Many units carry an etched or printed mark in one corner with the manufacturer and sometimes the date and the glass specification. Photograph it if you find one. It answers questions a tape measure cannot.

Watch out for

  • Moisture trapped between the panes can indicate a failed sealed unit. Glass-only replacement may be possible if the surrounding frame and sash are sound; we assess them on site.
  • If the glass is cracked but still in the frame, leave it alone. A crack that looks settled travels as soon as the frame flexes or a door slams.
  • If a screen or storm window blocks safe access, skip the measurement. Do not remove glazing or climb to reach it.
Single pane in a window or frame

One thickness of glass, older wood or aluminium windows, garage and shed windows, interior panels.

  1. Measure the visible glass, three times each way

    Width at top, middle and bottom; height at left, middle and right. Keep the smallest of each. Measure to the nearest eighth of an inch or the nearest two millimetres.

  2. Photograph any glass marking

    A mark in a corner may identify the manufacturer, glass type or standard. Photograph it if safely visible. A mark alone does not mean the pane is tempered; we check the glass specification and the requirements for its location on site.

  3. Note how the glass is held in

    Wooden beading pinned around the edge, a rubber gasket, a metal bead that clips out, or putty. Tell us which and we bring the right materials rather than improvising on site.

Watch out for

  • Doors, sidelights and other impact-prone locations may require safety glazing. We check the applicable requirements and specify the replacement on site.
  • Old putty-glazed windows often hide a bigger pane than the visible area suggests. We allow for that; you do not need to.
Door glass, insert or sidelight

Glass in an entry door, the narrow panel beside it, or the panel above it.

  1. Measure the visible glass

    Across and down, three readings each way, smallest wins. For a decorative insert, measure the outside of the frame that surrounds the decorative panel as well, because that frame is usually part of the unit.

  2. Measure the door thickness

    Open the door and measure the edge. Most are around 45mm or an inch and three quarters, but it varies, and an insert has to match the door it sits in.

  3. Say whether it is plain, patterned or decorative

    Plain, obscure or patterned glass is a straightforward replacement. Leaded or caming decorative panels are made to order and are worth photographing carefully from both sides.

Watch out for

  • Door glass and sidelights need a safety-glazing assessment. We check the location and product requirements before ordering a replacement.
  • Decorative inserts are usually replaced as a complete framed unit rather than as a loose pane.
Patio or sliding door panel

A sliding or fixed panel in a patio door, usually one very large pane.

  1. Say which panel it is

    Standing inside and looking out: is the broken panel the one that slides or the one that is fixed, and is it on the left or the right. The two are different jobs.

  2. Measure the visible glass

    These panes are big, so get a second pair of hands rather than a bent tape. Three readings each way, smallest wins.

  3. Tell us how it is behaving

    Tell us whether it still slides and locks, or has dropped in its track. Glass damage and roller problems need separate checks. Do not move a panel with broken glass to test it.

Watch out for

  • Patio doors use safety glazing, which may be tempered or laminated. Do not identify it from broken fragments or try to handle them; we confirm the specification on site.
  • A large pane is a two-person lift. Do not try to remove it yourself to save time.
Storefront or commercial glass

Shop windows, entrance panels and glass in aluminium commercial frames.

  1. Measure the visible glass and the height off the ground

    Width and height of the pane, plus how far the bottom edge sits above the pavement or floor. That last number decides access and whether the panel can be handled from ground level.

  2. Describe the frame

    Aluminium commercial framing, a timber shopfront, or glass sitting in a channel with no visible frame. Photograph a corner. The frame decides how the glass comes out and goes back in.

  3. Say what the opening needs tonight

    Tell us whether the premises are occupied, exposed or needed for trading. We assess temporary securing, access and the permanent replacement schedule on site. Safe reopening and glass availability cannot be determined from these details alone.

Watch out for

  • The right commercial glass depends on its location, size, framing and safety requirements. We can discuss tempered or laminated options after inspection.
  • Custom commercial glass may need fabrication. We can secure the property temporarily and confirm the permanent replacement schedule after measuring.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Including the one about whether we will cut to your numbers. We will not, and here is why.

Do I measure the glass or the frame?

For this tool, measure only the visible area of intact glass within safe reach, not the outside of the frame. Do not touch damaged glass, remove glazing or climb. These approximate notes help us prepare; final sizes are measured on site.

Why measure three times?

The visible opening may vary in size. On intact, safely accessible glass, take three widths and three heights and enter the smallest of each as approximate notes. They are not ordering sizes. We check concealed edges, clearances and final dimensions on site.

How do I tell if a window is double glazed?

On intact glass, a phone light held at an angle may help you count the panes. Two reflections often indicate one pane, four indicate two and six indicate three, but coatings can make this unclear. Skip this check if you are unsure or the glass is damaged. We confirm the glass type on site.

My window is foggy between the panes. Does the whole window need replacing?

Not necessarily. Moisture trapped between the panes can indicate a failed sealed unit. If the frame and sash are sound, replacing the glass unit may be enough. We inspect the whole window before recommending glass-only or complete-window replacement.

Will you cut the glass to the size I measured?

No. Your measurements help us prepare for the visit. We inspect the glass and frame, take final measurements and provide an accurate quote on site before anything is ordered or paid work begins.

The glass is broken. Should I take it out before you come?

No. Do not touch or measure broken glass. Keep people and pets away and call us to make it safe. Take photographs only from a safe distance, without delaying safety work. Your insurer can tell you what documentation it needs.

Measuring for a job that is already broken and open? Start on the emergency page instead. Make the property safe first. Leave damaged glass to a professional.
