No — tempered glass cannot be cut once it has been manufactured. Instead, a new glass panel is ordered with the pet door already integrated into the unit. This ensures the glass remains safe, sealed, and structurally sound.

Clear / Opaque

Pet doors are designed with weather-resistant flaps and seals to help minimize drafts and debris. However, as with any pet door, there may be some minor air transfer compared to a fully sealed glass panel.

No — like other tempered glass, a sealed insulated glass unit (IGU) cannot be cut once it has been manufactured, and cutting into one would break the seal and its insulating value. Instead, we order a new insulated glass unit with the pet door already integrated, so your door keeps its dual-pane insulation and stays sealed and structurally sound.

We also offer sliding screen doors with built-in doggy doors, providing an additional option that allows fresh air to flow through the home while still giving your pet convenient access to the outdoors. This can be a great solution for homeowners looking to maintain ventilation without needing to open the main glass door.

Customers trust Glenview Glass & Screen because we take the time to understand your needs and provide practical, honest guidance on whether a dog door glass unit or screen door solution is the right fit for your home. Our goal is to offer a product that balances convenience, durability, energy efficiency, and long-term performance, while maintaining the overall integrity and appearance of your patio or glass door.
