The Problem

The patio door glass had fogged between the panes, reducing clarity and making the door look worn.
The sliding frame and track were still usable, so replacing the full patio door would have been unnecessary.
The repair needed to address the failed sealed glass unit while preserving the existing door system.

How We Fixed It

We reviewed the patio door, removed the failed glass unit, and prepared the existing frame for replacement.
A new glass panel was installed into the sliding door system and checked for clean fit, visibility, and finish.
The door could remain in place while the glass issue was resolved.
