Residential glass
Clearer views for Colorado homes.
High-performance window and retrofit replacements, glass repairs and custom glazing built for high-altitude sun and freezing nights.
01
Window & IGU Replacement
We keep your frame intact and swap in brand-new, factory-sealed insulated glass units to restore your view and energy efficiency.
02
Retrofit Windows
When an old vinyl or metal window has had it, we take it out and put a brand-new one in — new glass, new sashes and a fresh seal, sized to your existing opening.
03
Single Pane Repairs
Broken or cracked glass replaced quickly with properly cut, code-compliant glass.
04
Glass Handrails
Custom glass railings for stairs, decks and lofts that open up your space.
05
Frameless Showers
Luxury heavy-glass enclosures designed around your bathroom.
06
Custom Mirrors
Vanity, closet and gym mirrors cut to fit your walls.
Inside your window
More than a pane of glass.
2 glass panes · 1 air space · Breather tubes, not argon fill
Glass panes
The glass layers
Two panes enclose one air space; three panes enclose two. Glass thickness and safety treatment are specified for the opening—not every opening needs the same glass.
Your home, your priorities

Explore solar-control Low-E
Solarban 60 is an option to discuss for rooms exposed to summer sun. The right specification depends on window orientation, elevation, and the complete glass unit.

Your home, with a new perspective
AI design concept · Not an installation plan
Changing style or frame finish may require full window replacement; glass-only replacement retains the existing frame. Greg must confirm available services, dimensions, safety requirements, and feasibility. AI images cannot show or verify Low-E performance, insulation, or noise reduction.

Built for the Western Slope
Glass that knows the altitude.
High-elevation sun, thin air and freezing nights change how windows should be built. Here's what goes into yours — and why.
No argon at altitude
Down on the Front Range, insulated glass gets filled with argon gas. Up here it can't be sealed in — the thinner air makes the sealed unit swell and bow. Mountain units are built with breather tubes: tiny capillary vents that let the pressure equalize without letting moisture in.
Solarban 60
A soft-coat Low-E that blocks summer heat gain but still lets in plenty of winter sun. The all-around choice for most Western Slope homes. Sourced from Old Castle Building Envelope and Trulite.
ComfortSelect
Tuned for colder mountain climates. It holds more of your indoor heat in through long winters while still blocking UV that fades floors and furniture. Sourced from Trulite.
Energy Advantage
A hard-coat Low-E that handles rough handling and scratches better. A solid budget-friendly option that still upgrades an old clear unit. Sourced from Old Castle Building Envelope.
Cardinal Low-E
The industry benchmark for clarity and consistency — sourced from Elevation Glass. Fair warning: Cardinal runs a six-week lead time or more, so plan window replacements ahead instead of in a hurry.
Annealed glass
Standard float glass with no heat treatment. It breaks into large, sharp shards — fine for picture frames and some cabinet doors, but not code-legal near doors, floors or tubs.
Tempered glass
Heated and rapidly cooled so it's about four times stronger than annealed. When it does break, it crumbles into small, blunt pebbles instead of shards. Required by code in showers, doors and windows near the floor.
Heat-strengthened glass
The in-between option — about twice as strong as annealed and far more resistant to thermal stress from intense high-altitude sun. It breaks in large pieces like annealed, so it's used where strength matters but safety glazing isn't required.

If your glass is broken, or a closing is close, call us first — we can talk through whether the job is worth waiting on Cardinal, or whether one of the coatings we can get sooner is the better fit for your windows.
