Glass Window Replacementby Doxa Glass Merchants

Window repairs in Morningside

Morningside is leafy and quiet, and still only minutes from the Sandton business district. Many homes here are cluster homes and townhouses, which usually means aluminium sliding doors onto a patio or small garden. When one of those panes breaks, you want it fixed quickly and neatly. We cover Morningside, Morningside Manor, Edenburg and River Club, and we are there 7 days a week.

Glass that suits life in Morningside

Aluminium sliding doors in cluster homes

Sliding doors do a lot of work in a townhouse: they lead to the garden, the braai and, often, the dog. Most are glazed with 6.38mm laminated or 6mm toughened safety glass, and our teams carry the common types, so a sliding door glass replacement is usually a single visit. The sash comes out of its track, the broken glass is removed and the new pane is sealed into the frame before the door goes back on.

If the glass is fine but the door drags, jumps off the track or will not lock, that is a job for sliding door repairs. For aluminium windows that will not stay open, have a look at aluminium window maintenance, which covers friction stays, handles and seals.

When the glass is not on the van

Most sliding doors take a glass type we carry, but not all. Extra-large panels, unusual thicknesses and tinted glass sometimes have to be sourced. When that happens in Morningside, we cover the opening first, so your townhouse can be locked up at night, and come back to fit the new pane once it is ready. The same goes for the fixed side panels and fanlights some cluster homes have beside their doors.

Tinted glass for sunny patios

If your patio doors face the afternoon sun, tinted laminated glass is worth considering when a pane needs replacing. It cuts glare and the heat that comes through the glass, and it holds together if it is struck.

How to send us photos

  1. 1. A close-up of the damage

    Get near enough that we can see the crack, the break and the edge of the frame.

  2. 2. The whole window or door

    Step back and take one of the full opening, so we can see its size and frame type.

Can you replace the glass in a fanlight above a sliding door?

Yes. Fixed panes and fanlights around doors are glazed much like windows, and we replace them with the right glass for the frame.
