Glass Window Repair
Professional window repairmen work high above the ground, moving huge panes of glass. They adhere to strict safety guidelines and often work under harsh weather conditions.
While wearing protective clothing, remove all glaze putty and glazing points using a knife. A heat gun will help to soften and eliminate the old putty.
Replacement
When a window pane breaks, it could be tempting to try and repair the glass instead of replace it. It is cheaper to replace windows and it can also help avoid other issues that could affect your home's efficiency. You should also take into consideration the kind of glass that is broken to determine if it is a temporary fix or if you'll require an alternative that is more durable.
The first step to repair damaged windows is to take off the frame, or sash and lay it flat on a table. Wearing eye protection, carefully wiggle and pull out any shards that remain in the window. Utilize a utility knife to remove the glazing compound and the glazing points that keep the window in place. Keep the track of the components and their location to ensure they are reinstalled.
After you've removed the frame and sash you can begin to prepare to replace the glass. Before you begin, make sure that the opening in the frame is properly designed for the replacement window. Measure both ways across the opening, and then subtract 1/8 inch from each measurement in order to leave the expansion and contraction of the frame and glass. Then, you can purchase double-strength glasses that are cut to these exact dimensions. It is also recommended to purchase enough new glazier's points or clips to be installed every 6 inches around the window pane.
Depending on the window's warranty, this may be covered by the manufacturer, in which case you must contact the company to file an claim. After the new glass has been installed, it must be covered with a thin layer of glazier's compound. Once the compound has dried it is possible to paint the frame to match.
