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

Mr-Glass builds decent aluminum and vinyl windows, but custom shapes put extra stress on sealed units and framing. Here’s what we see most often in Miami Shores homes.

• Fogged or milky glass on Mr-Glass 7700 Series radius tops. The curved insulated glass units on arched 7700 Series windows lose their argon fill faster than square units because the seal has to follow a radius. Once the seal fails, humidity from Miami’s wet season condenses between the panes. We replace the IGU with a new radius-cut unit, and we specify a thicker seal path than the factory used so it holds longer than the original.
• Sticking or binding sashes on Mr-Glass 450 Series geometric windows. Trapezoid and triangle windows in the 450 Series use narrow aluminum frames that flex under wind load. Over years of Miami Shores afternoon thunderstorms, the frame corners drift a few millimeters, and the sash starts catching. We realign the frame, replace worn rollers or glides, and add corner reinforcement where the original design didn’t call for it.
• Weep system clogs on all Mr-Glass custom shapes. Geometric windows don’t shed water the way rectangles do. Water pools in corner pockets, and if the tiny weep holes clog with dust and salt spray, it backs up into the track and eventually the wall. We clear the weeps, drill additional drainage where the original layout was inadequate, and check the internal dam for corrosion.
• Glass stress cracks on large Mr-Glass picture windows. Big fixed units in Miami Shores catch direct sun on the south and west walls. Mr-Glass uses standard annealed glass on some custom picture windows unless impact-rated glass was specified. Thermal stress cracks start at the edge and spider inward. We replace with laminated or tempered glass matched to the opening, and we always confirm impact-rating needs with the homeowner before ordering.
• Failed caulk joints where geometric windows meet stucco. This isn’t purely a Mr-Glass problem, but Miami Shores homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s often have stucco returns that were never flashed properly behind shaped windows. We see water staining at the interior corners of arched windows even when the glass itself is fine. Our fix involves removing the exterior sealant, installing proper flashing tape, and re-bedding with a high-movement sealant that handles Miami’s heat-and-rain cycle.

Our Mr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows Process

1. 1
   You call, Ed’s team answers. We ask what you’re seeing: fog, leaks, drafts, sticking, cracked glass. We schedule a visit that works for you, no trip charge in our home county.
2. 2
   We inspect the window on site. We check the frame corners, the glass seal, the weeps, the caulk line, and the rough opening from inside and out. We look for the kind of Miami-specific damage other shops miss: salt corrosion on the sill track, sun-cracked glazing beads, water marks behind the trim.
3. 3
   We give you a line-item quote. Parts, labor, materials, disposal. One number, fixed. No change orders unless we find something structural that opens the wall up, and if we do, we stop and call you before spending another dollar.
4. 4
   We order the right parts. OEM Mr-Glass glass and hardware when available, quality aftermarket when the OEM part is discontinued or backordered. We tell you which one fits your budget and which one lasts longer, and you decide.
5. 5
   We do the work carefully. Custom shapes mean custom handling. Radius glass gets moved in padded racks, not leaned against the stucco wall. We pull the old unit, correct any flashing defects, set the new glass, and re-caulk with a sealant that moves with the frame.
6. 6
   We test and clean up. We run the sash, spray the exterior with water to check drainage, and verify the seal. Your yard looks like we were never there except the window works right. Then we walk you through what we did and back it with the Done Right Promise.

• Radius or arched glass replacement (Mr-Glass 7700 Series): $450-$1,200 per unit depending on arc size
