We start with a measurement visit. We measure the existing opening with millimetric precision, identify the type of glass to be replaced (tempered, laminated, Climalit), and verify the fixing system to the frame (silicone, PVC profile, neoprene seal) so that the replacement is identical to the original. We provide a fixed quote during the same visit. In all passageways and heights below 90cm: tempered or laminated safety glass. Spanish Technical Building Code (CTE). If the original was single, it must be upgraded to safety glass. Call us, message us on WhatsApp or request your quote online — we'll reply in less than 10 minutes during business hours.

The most frequent causes we see are three. First, strong wind that closes a sliding door with such violence that it hits the frame and cracks the tempered glass. This happens especially in areas with strong westerly or easterly winds such as 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 robberies where the thief breaks the balcony door glass to enter, which is relatively rare in the area but does occur. The correct protocol when a pane of glass breaks has three steps. First, immediately remove all loose fragments to prevent accidents, which is especially important with children or pets in the house. Second, temporarily 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 interior patio can wait 2-3 days without problems. A balcony door or exterior window with a risk of rain ingress or theft needs 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 serious cuts, instead of large, sharp fragments like conventional glass. Spanish regulations (CTE) require tempered or laminated safety glass in all passageways and at heights below 90 cm. If your broken glass was conventional single pane, we will replace it with tempered glass to comply with regulations.

For isolated detached houses, single-family homes in affected areas, or owners with previous experience of attempted burglary, we recommend high-security cylinders such as Cisa Astral S, Mul-T-Lock MT5+, Tesa T80 Plus or Mottura Champions. These increase the rating to EN1303 grade 6, adding all anti-features (bumping, picking, drilling, extraction). They come with a manufacturer's burglary 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.
