Glass Window Repair



Professional window repairmen are able to maneuver large panes of tempered glass
from a height higher than the ground. They adhere to strict safety standards and
often work under harsh weather conditions.



Wearing protective clothing, cut off the metal glazing points as well as all
glazing putty using an utility knife. A heat gun can soften and remove the old
putty.



Replacement





When a window pane breaks, it can be tempting to repair the glass rather than
replace it. However, replacing a window is usually more cost-effective, and can
also aid in preventing other issues with your home's energy efficiency. Examine
the type of glass that is broken to determine whether it's a temporary fix or if
a long-term solution is required.



To fix a damaged window, remove the frame or sash and place it on the work
surface. Wearing eye protection, gently wiggle the window pane and remove any
remaining fragments. Utilize a utility knife to cut off the glazing compound,
and the glazing points that secure the window. Keep an eye on the components and
their location to ensure they are reinstalled.



After you've removed the frame and sash, you can begin preparing to replace the
glass. Make sure you check the opening of the frame is the proper size for the
replacement window. To allow for frame and glass expansion and contraction to
both directions, measure the opening and subtract 1/8 inch. Then, buy
double-strength glass cut to these exact dimensions. It is also an excellent
idea to buy enough new glazier's points or clips to be installed every 6 inches
around the window pane.



Based on the window's warranty, this may be covered by the manufacturer and in
this case, you must contact the company to file a claim. After the new glass has
been installed it is crucial to cover it with a thin layer glaziers compound.
After the compound has dried, you can paint it to match the rest of the window
frame.



If the crack is greater than an inch You can stop it from expanding by slicing a
small arc just beyond the crack. This method isn't foolproof, however it can
slow the growth of the cracked until you are able to take permanent measures.



Repair



Professional window contractors are equipped with the appropriate tools and know
how to work with different types of glass. They are able to dispose of waste in
a safe manner, so they are less likely than other contractors to leave behind
scraps which could cause harm to family pets or members of the family. They're
also used to working with various types of windows and are able to spot problems
that might not be apparent to the uninitiated homeowner.



Before beginning the process of fixing cracked window glass, ensure that you
wear safety goggles and gloves. Even a small break can cause shards to fly,
posing a danger to anyone living in or around the home. It is crucial to
determine what caused the crack, so that you can prevent future issues.



Begin by creating an epoxy mixture that has two parts. They are usually made up
of a 50/50 mix of resin and hardener and must be mixed quickly. Once the mixture
is prepared put it in the glass crack and let it dry. It should only take a
couple of minutes, but it is important to be quick as the mixture is very thick
and will dry quickly.



After the epoxy has dried, you can remove any excess with a knife. Then, you'll
have to clean the area around the broken glass. If you don't clean the area
properly, the residue could cause further damage to the glass. Make use of a
putty knife to smooth out the compound around the edge of the window and match
it to the frame of wood.



Consider using a plastic cover for a more robust option. You can cover the glass
with masking tape or a strong-duty trashbag. This will prevent the crack from
spreading, and will also keep water, wind and bugs out.



If you're unable to get to the window in a timely manner then you can apply
silicone sealant to create an interim repair. Apply a small amount of silicone
sealant on the edge of the damaged glass. It won't completely seal the gap
between the frame and the glass completely, but it will hold the break in place
until you can repair it.



Repainting



If your glass windows are old, you might consider repainting them. This is a
low-cost alternative to replacing your windows and can give your house a new
look. Make sure that the surface is clean prior to painting. Use soap or rubbing
alcohol and water to wash away oil smudges and other traces of dirt that can
hinder paint from adhering. It is also recommended to wear rubber gloves when
working on glass to avoid the risk of transferring your own oils onto the
window's surface. Apply several thin coats instead of a single thick one. This
will allow the paint to last longer, and will keep your windows looking smooth
and even.



Make sure you have the right tools available in case you want to paint glass
windows. You'll need a brush or sponge, painter's tape a ruler, toothpicks, as
well as a few other tools like paper towels or a rag. You should also have the
paint and brushes you'll use for the project on hand. Follow repair my windows
and doors . Have patience as it can take a while for the paint to fully dry.



If you are using solvent-based paints, you must also ensure that the space where
you work is well ventilated. This will decrease the risk of breathing toxic
chemicals, and the paint will dry more quickly. Also, make sure you have a mask
to protect yourself for any spray paints you apply.



For older glass windows, you'll need to prepare the surface prior painting. Make
use of soap and warm water to thoroughly clean the glass window. Then, rub
alcohol on any oil or grease residues that could interfere with the paint's
adhesion. Make sure the windows are dry before you start coating them.



If you have energy efficient double pane windows on your windows, it might be
possible to file claims for repair or replacement with the window manufacturer
or the dealer who sold them. This is particularly the case if you've experienced
multiple problems with broken glass or condensation and the windows are covered
under warranty.



Sealing



Whether you have old double-pane windows with a broken seal or a newer version
of insulated glass units (IGUs) that have experienced fogging, there are several
methods to fix the issue. It is the most expensive option to replace the IGU
that is insulated as well as the frame. However, it could be necessary in cases
where condensation or fog is causing energy losses. Other options include
replacing the existing IGU with a single-pane, or repairing it by drilling a
small hole into the bottom of the unit and filling the solution with anti-fog.



You can also fill in the gap between windows and a sill or threshold using a
felt strip or vinyl v-strip. Felt is affordable and can be fixed by gluing,
nailing or stapled to the frame but it doesn't provide a lot of protection from
moisture. Vinyl v-strip weather stripping is durable and easy to put in however
it can be expensive and is generally used for areas that are subject to high
abrasion. Door sweeps are affordable and can be fixed to the floor however they
provide virtually no barrier between the sill or threshold and dust, air, and
other debris.



To fix a cracked window seal, first use a putty blade to take off the old caulk.
Wearing eye protection and gloves, pry out the glazing point -- small fasteners
with sharp pointed tips that secure the glass into the recess of the frame.
After getting rid of the glazing points clean the grooves, then sand the wood.
Wipe away any sanding residue and then seal the unfinished wood using a linseed
oil-based paint or clear wood sealer.



Traditional glazing putty can be applied using a putty knife or caulking gun.
However, a knife provides a better application that is more precise and creates
a better seal. Choose a putty specifically for glass as it is more durable and
will adhere better.



Apply a thin bead of the putty to the inner edge of the frame, where it meets
the glass. Slide the window into the frame so that the drawn line on the glass
is aligned with the edge of the frame. Apply pressure on the glass to press the
putty and create an elongated seal. Smooth the compound using a gloved finger
and clean up any caulk that is applied incorrectly or drips that have escaped
before it is dry.
