We start with a measurement visit. We precisely measure the existing opening, identify the type of glass to be replaced (tempered, laminated, Climalit), and verify the fixing system to the frame (silicone, PVC profile, neoprene gasket) to ensure the replacement is identical to the original. We provide a fixed quote during the same visit. In all passage areas and heights below 90cm: tempered glass or safety laminated glass. Spanish CTE. If the original was single, a safety glass must be installed. 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 blunt fragments that do not cause severe cuts, instead of large, sharp fragments like conventional glass. Spanish regulations (CTE) require tempered or safety laminated glass in all passage areas and at heights below 90 cm. If your broken glass was conventional single glass, we are obligated to replace it with tempered glass to comply with regulations.

Laminated glass, made up of two panes of glass joined by an internal layer of transparent PVB, 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 chalets with a high risk. One must replace the entire Climalit unit because the air chamber loses its insulating function when contaminated with humidity. Only one pane cannot be repaired. If urgency requires, a temporary board or sheet can be installed the same day until the glass arrives.

Once manufactured, we arrive on-site, safely remove the broken glass (with safety glasses and specific gloves), clean the frame, apply new sealant if applicable, install the new glass, and verify watertightness and secure fitting.
