Clouded glass between the panes of a window tells us its seal has failed, and on a Temple City house that sign sends window and door replacement to the head of the scope. So does a frame bent enough that the sash will not lock, or a patio slider that grinds along its track. A failed unit lets heat and air through and leaves a weak point in the wall. A sound, tempered dual pane unit closes both gaps.

Sizing and specifying the unit

We measure each rough opening across the top, middle and bottom and along both diagonals, so the replacement is ordered square. Frame material follows the wall and its exposure: fiberglass stays stable under strong sun, vinyl suits a shaded face, and aluminum gives a narrow sightline around large glass. The outer pane is tempered, and a low emissivity coating cuts the heat a sunny wall lets through. Patio sliders get a look at their track and sill, since a bent track keeps the panel from closing tight against the jamb.

Into a stucco or siding wall

Where the old frame is dry and solid, a retrofit unit can be set inside it with little disturbance to the wall. Where the frame has rot or the opening has racked, the old unit comes out whole, the rough opening is repaired, and a new unit with a nailing flange goes in. A sill pan is installed first, then the jamb and head flashings are lapped over it in order so water always runs out. The plaster or siding around the opening is patched to match. Plans for permitted work list every unit with its rating for the building department that serves Temple City.
