First, immediately remove all loose fragments to prevent accidents, which is especially important with children or pets in the house. Second, provisionally cover with a thick plastic sheet or board if the area is accessible from the outside and there is a risk of intrusion. And third, call the glazier as soon as possible for measurement and replacement. The urgency depends on whether the area is watertight or not. A window facing an inner courtyard can wait 2-3 days without issue. A balcony door or exterior window with a risk of rain entry or theft requires urgent replacement.

Tempered glass is the standard for balcony doors, large windows, and areas at risk of impact. Its distinctive feature is that when it breaks, it shatters into thousands of small, blunt fragments that do not cause severe cuts, instead of large, sharp fragments like conventional glass. Spanish regulations (CTE) require tempered or laminated safety glass in all passage areas and at heights below 90 cm. If your broken glass was conventional single pane, we will obligatorily replace it with tempered glass to comply with regulations. Laminated glass, formed by two panes joined by an inner transparent PVB layer, is the premium option for doors and windows at risk of theft. When it breaks, the fragments remain adhered to the PVB layer, and the window maintains significant residual resistance. This is what we recommend for accessible ground floors or isolated villas in high-risk areas. The most frequent causes we see are three. First, strong wind closing a sliding door with such force that it hits the frame and cracks the tempered glass. This happens especially in areas with strong westerly or easterly winds like La Mata, Punta Prima, or Pilar de la Horadada when doors are left improperly closed. Second, children's balls or accidental impacts against window panes on the ground floor or terrace. Third, attempted burglaries where the thief breaks the balcony window to gain entry, which is relatively rare in the area but does occur.

Glass with official manufacturer's warranty (5 years for defects) plus our coverage on installation. All that investment in a security cylinder is pointless if key copies are freely made at any local hardware store. The registered key of a security cylinder can only be duplicated by the official manufacturer's distributor upon presentation of the owner's card that we provide upon installation. Without this card, no copy is possible. This means you control exactly how many keys exist and who has them. You will never have the uneasy doubt of whether the local locksmith or a copier might have kept your key pattern for future use. For isolated villas, detached houses in areas with incidents, or owners with previous experience of attempted burglaries, we recommend high-security cylinders such as Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock MT5+, Tesa T80 Plus or Mottura Champions. These increase the grade to EN1303 grade 6, adding all anti-features (bumping, picking, drilling, extraction). They come with the manufacturer's anti-theft insurance guarantee. This guarantee is relevant. If, despite everything, entry is gained and you can prove the cylinder was tampered with, the manufacturer covers part of the damage.

We always provide a fixed quote before starting. We begin with a measurement visit. We precisely measure the existing opening, identify the type of glass to be replaced (tempered, laminated, Climalit), and verify the method of frame attachment (silicone, PVC profile, neoprene gasket) so that the replacement is identical to the original. We provide a fixed quote during the same visit. Call us, message us on WhatsApp or request your quote online — we'll respond in under 10 minutes during business hours.
