The What and Why of Glass Replacement
Glass replacement restores both the safety and beauty of your home or business. Whether it’s a broken window, cracked shower door, or damaged storefront, replacing compromised glass protects your property from weather, improves energy efficiency, and enhances security. Beyond functionality, new glass can refresh the appearance of any space, making it look cleaner, brighter, and more modern.
Types of Glass Replacement
When glass gets old or breaks, it’s time to replace it. Where should you start? You have options, so let’s dive in.
Tempered Glass
Tempered glass is heat-treated to increase its strength, making it much more durable than regular glass. When broken, it shatters into small, less harmful pieces, which enhances safety. This type of glass is ideal for shower doors, windows, and entry doors where safety and durability are essential.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is made by bonding two or more layers of glass with a special interlayer. This construction improves security by holding the glass together if it breaks, all while providing excellent noise reduction and blocking harmful UV rays. It’s commonly used in storefronts, skylights, and areas where extra protection and durability are needed.
Insulated Glass Units (IGUs)
Insulated glass units consist of two or more panes of glass separated by a sealed air or gas-filled space. This design significantly improves energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer, minimizing condensation, and helping regulate indoor temperatures. IGUs are perfect for windows and doors where energy savings and comfort are a priority.
Full Window Replacements with Pella
Whether you're replacing old wood windows, outdated vinyl units, or damaged frames, Rib Mountain Glass, in partnership with Pella, provides installation and recommendations for full window replacements.
Full-Frame Window Replacement
This option replaces the entire window unit — glass, sash, frame, and trim — right down to the studs. It’s ideal for older or damaged windows where rot, warping, or inefficiency is present. A full-frame replacement ensures the best performance, insulation, and long-term value.
Insert (Pocket) Window Replacement
Perfect for homes with structurally sound window frames, insert replacements allow us to remove the old sash and slide in a new, energy-efficient window into the existing opening. This is a less invasive and more budget-friendly option that still provides a modern update with improved function and appearance.
New Construction Windows
For major renovations or new builds, we also install Pella’s new construction windows with integrated nailing fins. These are ideal when walls are being opened up, reframed, or when siding is being replaced — allowing for a seamless, weather-tight fit and a clean, finished look.
Custom-Shaped & Specialty Windows
Looking for something unique? Pella offers custom shapes, architectural styles, and specialty windows, all of which can be measured and installed to match your vision.
