What's the Cost of Glass Replacement?
There is no set standard for how much it costs to replace a glass window. The replacement price depends on several factors and varies from case to case. Some of the conditions that determine the final cost of your window replacement are:
-
Type of window
The window type impacts several things, such as the required work. Windows come in many styles, like double-hung windows.
-
Panes
The final cost will be impacted by the number of panes that require work. Replacing multiple panes will cost more than working on a one-page window.
-
Size
The height and width of the window will affect the kind of work it requires. A large window will cost more to replace than a smaller one.
-
Type of glass
The type of glass used in the replacement will also impact the final price. Your glass may be tempered or laminated and coloured in different tints.
All of these factors affect the final cost of replacement. If you'd like to know how much your glass replacement in Toronto will cost, please call us to speak to our team. They will assess all of these factors and give you an approximate quote.

The Risks of Delaying Commercial Glass Repair
Delaying commercial glass repair can lead to several risks that might affect a business in terms of safety and profitability. Here are the main dangers:
-
Safety hazards
Glass is a physical hazard that can affect employees, customers, and visitors when cracked or broken. When the glass has been compromised, the panel is more likely to shatter and, thus, injure employees. Even minor cracks can develop into more extensive fractures, creating dangerous conditions within the premises.
-
Security vulnerabilities
Damaged glass can make a building more prone to being targeted by thieves and vandals. Weakened points in the form of glass doors or windows compromise security, inviting some intruders who may cause the loss of valuable assets. Prompt repair of glass helps to maintain structural integrity and security.
-
Energy efficiency losses
Cracks or other damages in commercial glass can lead to temperature fluctuations and increased energy bills. Broken seals in windows allow drafts, making heating and cooling systems work much harder to keep the temperature at the same level, which leads to much higher operation costs over time.
-
Loss of professional image
Regarding commercial properties, the storefront or building appearance is everything. Broken glass can make businesses look deserted or unprofessional and may even deter customers. Prompt repair keeps the business looking inviting and professional.
-
Higher cost for repairs is likely
Most of the time, delaying glass repair leads to aggravation of the damage. It gradually increases the cost of repair or the complete replacement of glass. It is infinitely better to deal with minor issues as soon as possible rather than incur the expense and annoyance later on when repairs become extensive. In the best interest of protecting your business, you let commercial glass repair services take over, while the risk of delays is avoided altogether.

How to Protect Your Glass from Damage?
Glass features like windows, storefronts and entry doors are long-lasting, provided you care for them. Although glass is easy to maintain, you can avoid damage to it and keep it looking like new by:
​
-
Cleaning effectively: Whether it's a window or a storefront, regular cleaning with water, non-abrasive soap, and a lint-free microfiber cloth will prevent grime buildup. Paying attention to your cleaning materials will also ensure you don't scratch your glass unintentionally.
-
Using tempered glass: At Northstar Glass, we provide glass with various features to meet your needs. We can offer scratch-resistant glass for your commercial property.
-
Use coverage: While it might not be possible to cover your storefront glass or office glass walls during the day, you can protect them with covers after after-hours.
-
Attending to minor damages: Minor scratches on your glass are easy and inexpensive to repair. However, ignoring them can worsen the damage, necessitating extensive repairs or possible replacements later. We recommend getting any scratches on your glass repaired as soon as possible.
