What it is
The small parts that hold your glass in
Glazing is the putty or sealant that holds the glass in the frame and seals its edges. Glazing beads are the thin strips that press the glass into place.
Texas sun and weather dry them out over time. They crack, shrink and pull away, and the glass starts to rattle and leak. New glazing and beads fix it without replacing the window.
- Cracked or missing putty
- Loose, warped or broken beads
- Glass that rattles in the frame
- Drafts or water around the glass
Benefits
Why new glazing pays off
A small repair that protects the whole window.
Stops drafts
A tight seal keeps cool air in and hot air out.

Sealed edges stop rain from getting into the frame and walls.
Better curb appeal
Clean, fresh glazing makes old windows look cared for.
Longer window life
Protecting the frame and glass helps the whole window last.
No more rattles
Glass sits firmly in the frame again.
Costs less
Fixing the glazing is far cheaper than a new window.

Repair or replace?
When it's time for more than glazing
Most windows only need new glazing or beads. But if the frame is rotted, badly warped or won’t close, new glazing won’t fix it.
We’ll look at the whole window and tell you honestly whether a repair is enough or the glass or window needs replacing.
- Frame solid: new glazing and beads
- Glass foggy or cracked: new glass too
- Frame rotted or warped: we'll talk options
