Ottawa / Gatineau sealed glass unit replacement

Replace foggy thermos glass. Keep the window frame.

When the frame is still sound, CGR replaces the failed sealed glass unit, restores clarity, and leaves the original window intact.

01The diagnosis

Fog inside the glass usually means the sealed unit has failed — not the whole window.

When moisture appears between the panes, the seal has usually broken. In many homes the frame is still solid. CGR checks the frame, glass size, spacer, and access, then replaces only the sealed glass unit when possible.

CGR inspection checklist

  • Fog or droplets between the panes
  • Failed sealed glass unit
  • Frame still structurally sound
  • Correct spacer thickness

Result

Replace the glass unit. Keep the original frame.

01

Confirm the failed seal

Fog, haze, or water droplets between the panes usually point to seal failure.

02

Measure the exact unit

We record the glass size, thickness, spacer, and installation access.

03

Replace the glass only

If the frame is healthy, we keep it in place and replace the sealed unit.

Foggy window glass replacement in Ottawa & Gatineau.

Condensation trapped between panes usually means the seal inside the thermos glass unit has failed. CGR replaces the insulated glass while preserving the existing window frame whenever it remains in good condition.

Signs your sealed glass unit has failed

  • Moisture or haze between the panes
  • Glass that stays cloudy after cleaning
  • Cracked double-pane glass
  • A window frame that remains structurally sound
05A smarter use of your renovation budget

Keep the frame. Avoid paying for a full-window replacement.

01

Pay for the failed glass only

When the sash and frame are sound, replacing the thermos glass avoids the cost of a new frame, trim, and full-window installation.

We come to Ottawa or Gatineau, measure the exact opening, and inspect the existing frame at no charge.

03

Custom glass, existing frame

A new sealed glass unit is made to fit your window, so the parts that still work remain in place.

The measurement visit is quick. The glass unit is then custom ordered, and installation is scheduled once it is ready.
