Not only does a damaged window destroy your home's visual appeal, but it can also reduce the structure's energy efficiency by allowing air to escape. There are two options you have to fix the issue—replacing the glass or the whole unit. In most cases, changing out the glass is the more beneficial option. Here’s a closer look at the benefits of choosing glass replacement over a whole new window.

Why You Should Choose Glass Replacement

1. Cost-Effective

The biggest benefit of opting for a glass replacement is the cost. It's a fairly inexpensive project compared to a full unit change for two reasons—the cost of supplies and the minimal amount of labor. If you want to avoid a substantial bill, new glass is the way to go.

2. Maintained Aesthetics

 Glass ReplacementA glass replacement also allows you to maintain the same aesthetic throughout your home. This aspect is particularly important if you have custom or highly detailed window frames. If the whole unit is replaced, you risk not being able to match the design to your other windows, thus creating an unpleasant eyesore. New glass, on the other hand, let's you keep your frame while eliminating any unsightly cracks or fogginess.

3. Quicker Process

Another benefit of choosing glass replacement over the alternative is the time required to complete the project. Glass can be changed out within the span of a few hours, but a frame replacement can require a few days worth of work because of the level of construction needed. The complexities of the project are also more disruptive because you'll need to rearrange furniture and decorations to clear the space required for the job.
