   Question    posted to Door Contractors on 05/16/08 07:50 AM, White Plains, NY 10607
We have a rear deck glass door (slider) whose outside glass panel is seriously cracked. Do we replace the entire door? Or is it possible to replace just the glass? Secondly, if there was once argon type gas between the glass panes, what do you suggest?

My first question is how old is the product? It may still be under warranty. You could get a glasser or the manufacturer to replace the double insulated glass with low-e coating but I do not know of any glasser who has the  capability of getting the argon glass back in. If you are interested, give me a call and I will be glad to comeout and give you an expert opinion (no- charge or obligation) on what may need to be done. Also, it would be helpful if I knew who the manufacturer is.

There are a few options that you can consider:

1. if your door is still under warranty and the glass issue is a result of seal failure, the manufacturer may replace the panel as a warranty claim.

2. you can have a glass dealer replace the panel but there will be no argon gas.

3. lastly, contact us and we will set up an appointment for someone to give you an estimate on a new slider for your rear deck.  You can then select a double or triple pane slider with a lifetime warranty.
