Broken glass accidents seem to happen at the worst time. A rock thrown up by a lawnmower can bounce off the ground and smash into your patio doors on a lovely summer’s day. A fierce storm can bring down a tree branch, crashing through your front windows. Excellent Sliding Door carry out glass repairs for domestic and commercial properties. The majority of our repair work falls into three categories: repairing cracked glass, clearing hazy glass and doors that have been impacted.
Patio Installers Ltd was started by Adam on a set of sliding doors and the glass work has grown from there. Adam has many years of experience taking in and out the various patio panels for his customers and therefore has gained considerable knowledge of how glass sits in a frame and how best to set a new pane and achieve a good seal.
Tempered glass does not stay cracked long, as it will continue to spread. If your broken door glass is on a frequently used door, consider taping it up and keeping people away until you can give us a call to replace it before it breaks and causes more of a problem.
Commercial Glass Repair Services in Tampa, FL
Storefronts break differently than houses. A delivery cart clips a door frame. Someone leans on an old panel. When it is your front entrance, you cannot leave plywood up for a week and hope customers still walk in.
Our commercial glass repair services cover storefront panels, office partitions, entry doors, and back-of-house doors. We board up the opening the same day when we have to, then come back with the right pane. Shops in the Channel District and along Westshore call us for this because we handle the board-up and the glass, not just one or the other.
Business glass has code rules too. Anything in a door or near the floor has to be safety glass. We use tempered or laminated units, so you pass inspection.

Sliding Glass Door Repair in Tampa, FL
This is home turf for us. Sliding glass door repair covers a lot more than the pane. Rollers, tracks, locks, handles, screens, and the frame all get checked when we come out, because a broken pane is often the end of a longer story.
A door that dropped on worn rollers sits crooked. Every time it closes, the glass corner takes the load instead of the frame. Sooner or later that corner chips. Swap the glass without fixing the rollers and you will call us again.
We see this most in older homes in Hyde Park and Palma Ceia, where the original doors are decades old and nobody has touched the hardware.
Window Glass Replacement in Tampa, FL
Cracked bedroom window from a stray ball. A pitted pane on the west side of the house. A cloudy window over the kitchen sink. Window glass replacement handles all of it, and it is usually cheaper than a whole new window.
We work on single hung, casement, picture, and fixed windows. We pull the sash or work in place, clear the old glazing, and set the new pane square. Homes in Bayshore Beautiful and Beach Park often need the screen rebuilt too, since salt air eats screen frames.
Double Pane and Low E Glass Replacement in Tampa, FL
Most Tampa homes built in the last twenty years have insulated glass. Two panes with a sealed air space between them. When that seal fails, you get the fog, the streaks, and a window that no longer keeps heat out.
Double pane and Low E glass replacement swaps the whole sealed unit. Low-E is a thin coating that turns back heat from the sun. You cannot see it, but you feel it in August by a west-facing window. If you are replacing glass anyway, it is the upgrade worth paying for here.

Impact Glass Replacement in Tampa, FL
Impact glass is laminated. Two layers of glass with a tough plastic layer bonded between them. When something hits it, the glass cracks but holds together in the frame instead of raining down.
Impact glass replacement has to match what came out. These units carry Florida product approval numbers, and the wrong pane can cost you your wind mitigation credit. We match the approved unit and hand over the paperwork.
After a storm, call early. Everyone in South Tampa calls the same week, and approved impact units are the first thing to run short.
