Glass Repair and Investigation Services
IQ has spent decades partnering with architects to push the boundaries of modern design. We understand that a glazing system doesn’t simply fade into the background at practical completion. As well as delivering striking, high-performance glazing solutions, we also partner with you to maintain, repair and investigate glass elements long after construction wraps. It’s a holistic service that supports every stage of your building’s lifecycle.
Repairs on Existing Glass Installations
Even the most robust glass façades and features can show signs of wear over time. A failing seal, an unexpected hardware glitch – these things happen. Our technicians quickly diagnose the root cause and implement targeted repairs, all while respecting your original design. It’s a full-circle approach to preserving clarity, performance and beauty.
Replacements
There are limits to which systems can (or should) be saved through repair alone, especially if materials or performance standards have evolved since the original installation. In those cases, we’ll guide you toward the best replacement options. Our wide range of high-performance glass solutions ensures upgraded installations meet the latest requirements for insulation, solar control and aesthetics. This elevates your building’s overall performance and futureproofs it, without sacrificing your design vision.
Investigations on Defective Glazing Installations (Including Reports)
When a glass installation isn’t living up to expectations and the cause isn’t obvious, our investigative team steps in. We examine every detail, from glass composition and framing systems to potential thermal bridging. Then, we compile a clear, comprehensive report explaining what’s happening and how to resolve it. You’ll get a clear, concise roadmap for corrective measures. This direct approach precludes guesswork and keeps your project running smoothly.
Sieger Systems (Smaller Works)
Not every project involves a sweeping façade or a full-scale renovation. If you need a single system swapped out or a more modest update to your existing design, our smaller works branch, Sieger Systems, is for you. You get the same expertise and attention to detail we offer on our largest commissions, scaled to the size of the task at hand. It’s a streamlined path to handling minor upgrades, without the red tape.
Insurance Works
When glass damage is covered by insurance, the paperwork can be more daunting than the repair itself. We’re here to streamline that process. From documentation to direct communication with insurers, our team takes the administrative load off your plate, making sure that any repairs or replacements remain true to the original design and building requirements.
Remedial Works
Some issues call for a deeper fix than a quick repair, particularly if structural or code compliance concerns are at play. Our approach is thorough yet flexible, tackling significant challenges in a logical, step-by-step manner. We’ll review the original specifications, diagnose the problem, and implement a solution that respects the practical constraints of the project.
Investigative & Reporting on Third-Party Works
Occasionally, you need an independent expert to review someone else’s glazing work. If you suspect a third-party system isn’t up to standard, we can assess it objectively, pinpointing any flaws in design or execution. We’ll evaluate everything from thermal performance to installation integrity, flagging any deviations or potential oversights. Our unbiased reports spell out what’s wrong, and what to do about it, so you can proceed with confidence.
