How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Mr-Glass impact windows are built for Florida’s wind-load codes, but no window line is immune to Lauderhill’s heat, humidity, and salt air. Here is what we see most often on Mr-Glass units in this city.

• Laminate hazing on the Mr-Glass 6000 Series. The 6000 Series uses a polyvinyl butyral interlayer between glass lites. After 8 to 12 years in Lauderhill’s humidity, the edge seal can micro-fracture and let moisture wick into the laminate. You will see a cloudy band around the perimeter of the pane. The fix is a full insulated glass unit replacement, not a reglaze. We quote the IGU with the correct PVB thickness so the window keeps its impact rating.
• Roller and track wear on the Mr-Glass 7000 Horizontal Slider. Lauderhill homes built in the 1990s and early 2000s often have the 7000 slider in patio and pool-facing openings. The stainless rollers Mr-Glass used early on were not rated for daily exposure to chlorinated pool air in neighborhoods like Inverrary and The Isles. Rollers pit, the sash drags, and the homeowner thinks the frame is warped. We replace the rollers with aftermarket stainless units that outlast the originals and adjust the sash to close square.
• Weep hole blockage causing frame rot. This is a Lauderhill-specific issue. During the rainy season, leaves, mulch, and dirt plug the weep holes on Mr-Glass frames. Water sits in the track, the aluminum oxidizes, and the sash starts binding. We clear the weep system, treat the corrosion, and in severe cases replace the bottom rail. This is a maintenance issue Mr-Glass’s own literature barely mentions.
• Broken operator arms on the Mr-Glass 5000 Casement. The 5000 Series casement used a cast zinc operator arm that work-hardens over time. One hard push and it snaps. We carry both OEM Mr-Glass operator arms and a machined aftermarket version. For most Lauderhill homeowners, the aftermarket arm is the better buy; it costs about the same and does not have the original casting flaw.
• Failed glazing tape on the Mr-Glass 8000 Fixed Lite. The 8000 fixed lite was installed in a lot of Lauderhill living rooms and entryways. The original glazing tape dries out after about a decade in South Florida sun, and the glass can actually rattle in the frame during a strong storm. We pull the stop, clean the channel, and reset the pane on fresh structural tape rated for impact loads. It is a same-day fix on most openings.

Our Mr-Glass Impact Windows Process

When a Mr-Glass impact window fails, there is a right order to do things. Here is how we handle it.

1. 1
   The call. You call (850) 303-7739. A live person answers, asks about the symptom, and schedules a time that works for you. No call center, no voicemail tree.
2. 2
   The measure and diagnosis. Our background-checked, uniformed technician arrives, measures the opening twice, and inspects the sash, frame, glass, and hardware. We do not guess. On a Mr-Glass job, we check the specific failure points listed above first.
3. 3
   The parts decision. If the window is under warranty, we document the failure and do the warranty claim with you. If it is out of warranty, we quote OEM Mr-Glass parts and quality aftermarket options side by side on paper. You see exactly what you are buying before you spend a dime.
4. 4
   The repair or replacement. Most Mr-Glass hardware repairs take one visit. Full IGU replacements take one to two weeks for glass fabrication, then a single install visit. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.
5. 5
   The test. We cycle the window fully, check the seal, and confirm the pane sits true in the frame. If the spec sheet does not back it up, we do not say it.
6. 6
   The paperwork. Before the truck leaves the driveway, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing, with durations stated. Your copy is in your hand before we leave.

What Mr-Glass Impact Windows Costs in Lauderhill

Here are honest numbers for common Mr-Glass impact window jobs in Lauderhill. These are ranges we have quoted over the last few years, not national averages that have nothing to do with our market.

• Roller replacement on a 7000 slider: $185 to $320, depending on how many sashes and whether the track needs work.
• Operator arm replacement on a 5000 casement: $145 to $260 including the hardware.
• IGU replacement on a 6000 or 8000 unit: $650 to $1,250 per pane, depending on dimensions and glass thickness.
• Full Mr-Glass impact window replacement: $1,800 to $4,200 per opening, depending on series, size, and whether it is a twin or triple assembly.
• Weep hole clearing, track cleaning, and sash realignment: $95 to $175. This is also covered by our maintenance check on most windows.

What moves the price is the series, the size of the glass, and whether the frame itself is still sound. We will not sell you a new window if a $200 hardware job fixes the problem. Call (850) 303-7739 for a free written estimate. We stand behind it.

Why Lauderhill Homeowners Call TruePane Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
