Plenty of the Milton window glass we replace was never actually hit. A crack that appears overnight in January, running as a single wandering line out of the edge of the pane, is thermal stress: the centre of the glass warming in low winter sun while the edges stay locked in a frame well below freezing. The rest is impact — stones off a construction site in a half-built subdivision, a ball out of a backyard in Beaty or Coates, hail, or a break-in.
Whatever caused it, the opening comes first. We run board-up around the clock across Milton: we clear the hanging glass out of the frame, sweep so nobody gets cut, board or temporarily glaze the opening, and measure for the replacement while we are on site. Then we replace the glass in the thickness and type the opening actually needs — annealed, tempered or laminated. The frame and sash are usually fine and only the glass comes out, which keeps it to one visit and leaves the window looking untouched.

Broken Window Glass & Emergency Board-Up — your questions
My window cracked overnight and nothing hit it — what happened?
Almost certainly thermal stress. On a cold, sunny Milton morning the middle of the pane heats while the edges stay at outdoor temperature, and ordinary annealed glass splits under the difference. The giveaway is a single wandering crack starting at the edge rather than a star or impact point. It is a glass problem, not something you did.
Can you secure my house or unit tonight?
Yes. Board-up runs 24/7 across Milton and Halton Region. We clear the hanging glass, sweep the area, board or temporarily glaze the opening so the building is closed for the night, and measure for the replacement while we are there. If it was a break-in, photograph everything before we start cleaning up — the police report and your insurer will both want it.
Can a cracked pane be repaired instead of replaced?
No. A crack in a window pane is permanent, and it keeps travelling with every freeze-thaw swing — Milton gives it plenty of those between November and March. Tape and resin hold nothing structurally. The safe and permanent fix is replacing the glass, which is usually a single visit once we have the measurement.
