A cracked window pane is an inconvenience. It could also be an opportunity to upgrade your glass to energy efficient or insulated windows and benefit from improved comfort, increased potential for resales, and less costs.

Glass

Replace your single-paned windows with tempered insulation glass to improve the efficiency of your energy, reduce noise, and maintain the original character of your older home. The process of replacing windows is easy and can be completed by anyone with basic hand tools. In addition to a new pane, the following components are needed: latex glazing putty; glazier's points; pliers; and a heat gun for warming the old putty if required. Wear safety goggles and gloves prior to beginning. Working with broken glass can cause serious injuries.

Begin by removing any broken pieces of glass. It is recommended to use pliers however a flathead could be used as well. Use a wood chisel, or putty knives to remove any old putty that remains around the frame and the window sash. Be careful not to scratch the window sash. Take your time and work slowly. This is best done on a ladder, not on the ground. Also, have someone lower to hold it steady.

Once you have removed all the old putty, prepare the window frame for the new pane. Take measurements of the width and height of the sash opening and subtract 1/8 inch from each measurement (to allow for seasonal expansion and contraction). These measurements can be sent to an hardware or home centers store to get cut a piece of glass that is in stock to the correct size. You can cut the glass yourself if you have the appropriate tools.

After putting the new pane in place after installing the new pane, put a tiny amount of caulking around the edge to ensure it is weatherproof. Then, place a glazier's tip on each side of the frame to secure the pane in the right place. The points should not be so tight that they cause friction between the sash and frame but they shouldn't be too loose.

Before applying the putty make sure to knead it until it's soft and free of lumps. Then, roll it into pencil-size strips. The first strip should be glued to the corner of the frame. Work from one corner to the next and ensure that it is even and smooth.

Glazier's Points

The glazier's points are tiny triangular metal pieces that help secure the glass into the window frame without causing damage to the delicate surface. It's easy to understand how to use this hidden tool, and you'll save money on the expense of a professional installation.

After removing the old putty, glazier points and any leftovers Clean the frame thoroughly using an utility knife. If needed, lightly sand the wood in the grooves of the rabbet to smooth rough areas. If you sand wood, cover it with painter's tape to avoid accidental damage.

Write down the exact dimensions of the frame. These dimensions can be taken to a home center or hardware store and the new pane will be cut slightly smaller. This will ensure a tight fit and leave room for expansion and contraction.

Place the new pane into the frame and push firmly using your hands. Make use of the point of the chisel or the back of the putty blade to tap in the glazier's points, as illustrated in Figure 11. When you're done, they should be in line with the top edge of the pane and the raised shoulders of the points should be below the rabbet's rim groove.

Apply a small amount of glazing compound on the edges of the new glass and into the rabbet grooves, to seal and protect them. Let it dry completely and cure.

After the glazing compound dries and the glazing compound is dry, you can install the new window sash. First, saturate the wood with a thick coat of Linseed oil. This will stop the new putty from taking up the moisture and deteriorating and cracking over time. Apply this coat using a brush or the edge of your putty knife, and then use the chisel or the back end of the knife to gently hammer in the new sash and glazier's point into the rabbet grooves. Repeat this procedure every 10 inches around the frame's perimeter.

Putty

A baseball thrown or a rock thrown by error, or a tree falling can result in a cracked or cracked window. The majority of windows can be replaced by putting in a new piece. The glass is held in place by a small metal clip, called a glazier’s point and putty. This compound is also known as glazing compound. Remove the old pane and clean the area with the rag, a pull-type scraper or wood chisel. Wear gloves and safety glasses while working. You'll require a heat gun when the window is fixed to the frame.

If you are planning to reinstall your original sash, remove the molding that holds the old pane. Sand the sash until it is flat and ready to receive new caulk. After the sash has been installed it is possible to apply a silicone caulk on the glass. This will ensure that it won't be leaking or fade over time.

Take the glazing points out of the rabbets, the grooves in the sash that the glass sits. If they're hard to chisel out, try holding an instrument like a heat gun over them to soften them up first. When using a heat tool, make sure to not scratch the sash's railings and sash.

Create a bed for your new pane after you have removed the old glaze points and putty. Roll a rope with glazing compound between your fingers and then make it about 1/2 inch thick. Press it into the rabbets, where the glass will be placed. It is crucial that the glass rests against the putty on each side, so if you need to, lightly tap the glass into the rabbet with your thumb.

If the new pane is cracked, you can use a silicone caulk or a glass glue made from solvents to seal the crack before pressing it in the sash. If not, you'll have to apply putty over the crack to form a tight seal and keep water out. Once the putty is dry, wipe the oily film off of the glass and let it dry completely before painting. If you paint before the putty is fully dry, it won't create an effective seal and could discolor or leak in time.

Paint

Once you're ready to begin, begin by removing the old window pane by removing the metal glazing points that are attached to it. These are tiny metal triangles which act as "nails" to hold the window within the frame. They are submerged beneath a bead or glazing glue which hardens into an unbreakable wedge which holds the wood frame in place and hides the sharp edges.

After taking off the old pane clean the frame and wood. Scrape off any old paint, and sand the rabbet grooves where the glazing points were placed. Sand them down to bare wooden surfaces so you can paint the frames with the same color. After sanding, apply a layer of flax oil on the wood that is not sanded down to help extend its lifespan.

Next, measure the dimensions of the window's opening. You will need to measure the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the entire opening, as well as the thickness. To determine the exact dimensions of the new pane subtract 1/8 inch from both measurements. This will allow replacement handles for upvc windows seasonal changes in the glass. Take these dimensions to your local hardware or home improvement store and ask them to cut you a piece cut for you.

Now, it's time to bed the new window pane. To do this, place the pane inside the frame and move it around until a 1/16 inch of putty remains between the edge of the glass and the sash on all four sides. Use a putty knife to smear the putty evenly, making sure that there isn't an excessive amount of excess putty in the corners and along the edges. When the putty dries, it can be painted with the same color as the frame to prevent water and air from leaking into the frame and causing fogging.
