“When we bought our home twelve years ago, it was kind of in rough shape,” Dwayne said. “But with lots of hard work and TLC, it’s starting to come together. We’re finally tackling the dining room renovations, but we’ve run into a snag.
There are beautiful pocket doors that separate the dining room from the rest of the house. But we never use them – they’re always open – because I don’t want anyone to see the big crack in the door glass. It’s really damaged on one side, with just a few chips on the other side. And it’s a shame, because the glass is etched in a beautiful design. How can you possibly begin to fix something like this?”
Raynham MA Window Glass Replacement Experts Respond
Interior doors – especially in older, nicer homes – often feature glass. Because privacy needs are different within a building, this glass is often frosted or textured to obscure the view. These treatments can cover the entire pane of glass, or they can be applied in a decorative manner.
Commercial glass services specialize in the installation of glass both inside and outside of the building. This means when you need glass for interior doors repaired, they’re the pros to call.
It may be that you would like the new glass for your interior doors to be an exact match for the old glass. This is generally possible, even for ornately etched windows. The complexity of the design will impact your costs, so you may wish to switch to a simpler option or use your own unique design.
That’s what Dwayne did, once he learned that was an option. Now the Raynham, MA homeowner has pocket doors featuring the family monogram. “It turns out you can have a completely unique door for basically the same price as it would cost to repair it to its original look. I love how it makes the house more ours – for us, and in the future, someday, for the next generation!”
