A damaged window pane could be a source of frustration. It can also be a chance to upgrade your glass to energy efficient or insulated windows, and enjoy benefits such as greater comfort, a higher potential for resales, and less costs.

You can do it yourself at only a fraction of the cost it would cost to employ an expert. You only need the appropriate tools and a few minutes of your time.

Glass

If your single-pane windows are old, deteriorating or broken, replacing them with newer glass that is tempered or insulated can improve energy efficiency and reduce noise while preserving the original character of older homes. The process of replacing the window pane is easy and can be completed by most homeowners who possess basic hand tools. In addition to a new pane, the following components are needed such as latex glazing putty; pliers, glazier's points and the use of a heat gun to warm the old putty, if needed. Wear safety glasses and gloves prior to starting. Working with broken glass can cause serious injuries.

Remove any broken glass pieces remaining. This is best accomplished with pliers, but flathead screwdrivers can work in a pinch. Make use of a wood chisel or putty knives, to take away any remaining old putty around the frame and window sash. Be careful to not scratch the window sash. Be careful and slow. It is recommended to do this on a sturdy ladder rather than the ground and have someone stand below the sash in order to help hold it in place.

After you've removed all the old putty, prepare the window frame to fit the new pane. Find the width and the height of the opening in the sash, subtracting 1/8 inch from each measurement (to allow for seasonal expansion and contraction). Take these measurements to the nearest hardware store or home center, and find a piece glass cut to size. You can cut the glass yourself if you possess the right tools.

After installing the new pane, run a small bead of caulking around the edges to make it weatherproof. Install a glazier's point on both sides of the frame. This will help secure the pane. The points shouldn't be so tight that they cause friction between the sash and the frame however they shouldn't be loose.

Before applying the putty on the surface, gently knead it until it becomes soft and free of lumps. Roll it into pencil-sized strips. Apply the first strip in the corner of the frame, working from one corner to the other so that it is smooth and even.

Glazier's Points

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

After the old putty and the glazier's points have been removed and the frame is thoroughly cleaned with a utility knife to eliminate any remaining traces. If necessary it is necessary to lightly sand the wood in the grooves of the rabbet to smooth out rough spots. If you do sand the wood, be sure to protect it with painter's tack to avoid accidental damage.

Note down the exact dimensions of the frame. Take these measurements to a hardware store or a home center and have the new pane cut slightly smaller than the frame's opening. This will ensure a secure fit, and allow for expansion and contraction.

Place the new window in the frame and press it into the frame with your hand. Then use the point of your chisel, or the back end of the putty knife to pierce the glazier's points as illustrated in Figure 11. The glazier's points should sit flush against the top edge of the pane and the shoulders raised should be just beneath that lip.

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

Install the new window sash after the glazing compound has dried. First, saturate the wood with a heavy coat of linseed oil. This will stop the new putty from drying out or cracking due to the moisture it absorbs. Use a brush to apply this coat, or the point of the putty blade. Then use the chisel that is on the back of the putty tool or the back of the putty handle to gently hit the new sash, or glazier's point into rabbet grooves. Repeat this procedure every 10 inches along the perimeter of the frame.

Putty

The glass is held into place by a small metal clip, referred to as a glazier's point and putty. This compound is also called glazing compound. Remove the old pane and clean the area using the rag, a scraper that is a pull type or a wood chisel. Wear gloves and safety glasses while working. If the window is attached to the frame, you'll need to employ a heat gun in order to soften the adhesive before cutting it loose.

If you are planning to reinstall the original sash, take off the molding that supports the old pane. Sand the sash until it's flat and ready to receive new caulk. After the sash has been put back in place it is possible to apply a silicone caulk on the glass. This will ensure that it doesn't get soiled or discolor over time.

Remove the glazing points from the rabbets, or the grooves in the sash, where the glass sits. If they're difficult to work out, you can try holding a hand tool like a heat gun over them to soften them before you do. When using a heat tool, be sure to not damage the sash and its railings.

Create the bed for your new pane by removing the old glaze and putty. Roll a piece of glazing compound between your hands, and replace window Pane form it to be about 1/2-inch thick.

These are tiny metal triangles which act as "nails", holding the window in the frame. They are placed under a bead or glazing glue which hardens into an unbreakable wedge that holds the wood frame in place and hides the sharp edges.

After you have the old pane taken away clean the surrounding frame and wood. Scrape off any old paint, and sand the rabbet grooves in which the glazing points were. These should be sanded to bare wood, so that you can paint them the same shade as the rest of the frame. After sanding the wood you can apply a layer flax oil. This will help to prolong the life of the frame.

Next, measure the dimensions of the window opening. You will need to measure the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the entire opening as well as the thickness.
