Balcony glass replacement
Strata balcony glass in Metro Vancouver is usually one cracked or etched panel in a long run. Match the system. Leave the rest of the elevation in place.
01
One panel, not the run
We measure the existing shoe or clamp, match thickness and edgework, and replace the damaged lite. The neighbouring panels stay.
02
Safety glazing
Guard glass is tempered or laminated to CAN/CGSB-12.1. Picture glass and old annealed lites are not a legal match on a balcony.
03
Access without drama
Ladder, lift, or rope — whichever the elevation allows. Resident notice goes out before a crew is on the balcony next door.
04
Same system
Discontinued glass is matched as closely as the run allows. We do not rebuild a working shoe to sell a new railing.
Code still applies
Openings must not pass a 100 mm sphere. Frameless or structural changes need engineer-sealed drawings. We confirm the existing system before we cut.
General guidance — not a substitute for the current BC Building Code.
One panel
Match the run. Replace the damaged lite.
Strata balcony glass is usually one cracked or etched panel in a long run of the same system. We measure the existing shoe or clamp, match thickness and edgework, and leave the rest of the elevation alone.
