Glass Window Repair
Professional window repairmen work from high above the ground, navigating massive glass panes. They follow strict safety protocols and are often working in extreme weather conditions.
Wearing protective clothing, remove all glaze putty and glazing points using a knife. A heat gun can help to soften and take off the old putty.
Replacement
It's tempting to fix the glass on your windows instead of replacing it when the glass breaks. However, replacing a window is usually more cost-effective, and can also aid in preventing other issues with your home's energy efficiency. Take a look at the kind of glass damaged to determine if it's a temporary fix or if a more permanent solution is required.
The first step in fixing damaged windows is to take off the sash, installers also known as the frame, and lay it flat on a table. Wearing eye protection, carefully move the frame and remove any shards remaining in the window. Utilize a utility blade to remove the glazing compound, as well as the glazing points that hold the window in place. Keep an eye on the components and their locations to make sure they can be put back in place later.
Once the frame and sash have been removed and the frame is removed, you can begin preparation to install new glass. Before doing this ensure that the opening in the frame is properly sized for your replacement window. To allow for expansion and contraction of the glass and frame and contraction take measurements in both directions across the opening and subtract 1/8 inch. Then, you can purchase double-strength glasses made to these exact measurements. It is also an excellent idea to buy enough new glazier's glazier's pointing or clips to be positioned every 6 inches around the window pane.
If the manufacturer is responsible for this then you should call them and file a claim. After the new glass has been installed, it needs to be sprayed with a thin layer of the compound used by glaziers. After letting the compound dry and dry, you can paint it to match the rest of the frame.
If your crack is more than an inch, you can prevent it from spreading by cutting a small arc just beyond the crack. This method isn't foolproof, however it can slow the development of the crack until you are able to take permanent measures.
Repair
Professional window installers know how to deal with a variety of glass types, and they have the tools needed to complete a proper job. They are able to dispose of waste in a safe manner which means they are less likely than others to leave behind scraps that could harm family pets or family members. They're also familiar with different types of windows and may be capable of identifying issues that aren't apparent to an inexperienced homeowner.
Before beginning the process of repairing damaged window glass, be sure to wear safety goggles and gloves. Even a small crack can cause glass shards to fly away and put anyone at risk in or around the home. It is important to determine what caused the crack, since this can prevent future issues.
Create a two-part mixture of epoxy. It is usually 50/50 mix of resin and hardener, and they must be quickly mixed. Once the mixture has been made and applied, simply apply it to the crack and allow it to dry. It should only take about a few minutes, but it is important to be quick as the mixture is very thick and drys quickly.
After the epoxy has dried, you can remove any excess using a putty knife. Then, you'll have to clean the area around the cracked glass. If you don't clean it correctly, the resulting residue could cause further damage to the glass. Once the glass is cleaned with a putty blade, use it to smooth the compound along the edge of the window and match it with the frame made of wood.
To make a more durable option think about using a plastic covering. You can cover the glass with masking tape or a heavy-duty trash bag. This will prevent the crack from expanding, and will also keep out water, wind bugs, debris, and water.
If you're unable to reach the window in a timely manner, you can use silicone sealant to make a temporary repair. Apply a small amount silicone sealant around the edges of the broken glass. It won't completely fill the gap between glass and frame however it will keep the broken piece in place while you repair it.
Repainting
Repainting old glass windows is a great idea. This is a cost-effective alternative to replace windows and give your home a fresh look. Before painting, make sure the surface is clean. Use soap or rubbing alcohol and water to wash away oil smudges, as well as other residues that could prevent paint from adhering. You should also wear rubber gloves when working on glass to avoid transferring your own oils onto the glass surface. Finally, you should apply several thin coats of paint instead of one thick layer. This will make the paint last longer and keep your windows looking smooth and even.
If you're planning to repaint your glass windows, ensure that you have the proper tools in your arsenal. You will need either a brush or sponge, painter's tap, a ruler and toothpicks. It is recommended to have the brushes and paints you'll be using in your kit. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer. Have patience because it could take some time for the paint to completely dry.
Also, ensure that the area you're working in is well ventilated, especially if you're using solvent-based paint. This will decrease the risk of inhaling toxic chemicals, and the paint will dry faster. It is also important to ensure you have a mask to protect yourself for any spray paints you apply.
For older glass windows, it is necessary to prepare the surface prior painting. Clean the glass thoroughly with soap and warm water. Then, use rubbing alcohol to clean off any oil or grease that could hinder paint's adhesion. Make sure the windows are dry before you start coating them.
If your glass windows are energy efficient dual pane windows, then you might be able to submit a claim to the window manufacturer or dealer that sold them to pay any repair or replacement costs. This is especially relevant if you've had numerous issues with condensation or broken glass while the windows are still covered by warranty.
Sealing
Whether you have old double glazed window repairs-pane windows that have 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 both the insulated unit as well as the frame. However, it might be required in situations where fog or condensation is creating energy loss. Other options include replacing the IGU with just one pane, or fixing the IGU that is in place by drilling a hole through the bottom and filling it up with an anti-fogging product.
You can also fill in the gap between the window frame and the sill or threshold with a felt strip, vinyl v-strip, or a door sweep. Felt can be stapled, glued or put in place, but it is not a great protection against moisture. Vinyl weather stripping that is v-strip is strong and simple to install however it can be expensive and is typically reserved for areas exposed to abrasions that are high. Door sweeps are easy to nail to the floor and are affordable. However, they provide little or no protection between the threshold and air.
To fix a cracked window seal, first use a putty knife to take off the old caulk. Wearing eye protection and gloves take out the glazing point -- tiny fasteners with sharp pointed tips that hold the glass to the frame's recess. Once you have removed the glazing points, scrub the grooves and sand the wood to a smooth finish. Clean any sanding dust and then seal the unfinished wooden surface with a linseed-oil-based paint or clear sealer.
A caulking knife or putty can be used to apply the traditional glazing putty, but a knife will provide an easier application and a stronger seal. Make sure you choose a putty specifically designed for glass windows, since it will be more adhesive and long-lasting.
Apply a small amount the putty to the inside edge of the frame where it meets the glass. Slide the window into the frame in a way that the scribed line on glass lines up with edge of frame. Apply pressure to the glass to press the putty and create an elongated seal. Smooth the compound with gloves and get rid of any caulk or drips that were applied incorrectly before it has dried.
