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.
