Fix Chips in Window Glass

Cheaper Window Glass Repairs

Have you ever seen stone thrown up by a lawnmower causing a chip in a window or door?  Did you know that even though there may be a cone shaped plug of glass missing from the other side of the glass chip, this damage can often be repaired at a fraction of the cost of replacement glass?

Damage to solid plate glass is typically repairable if it is a "bullseye" type break.  This type of break is caused by a small projectile such as a stone thrown by a lawnmower, a shot from a pellet gun or something similar.  It is typically a small hole of up to 5mm in diameter on the impact side of the glass and a larger cone shaped hole of 2 to 3 cm in diameter on the opposite site.
