Broken Panes

Double-glazed windows consist of two glass panes, with an air space between them filled with inert gasses such as argon and krypton.

If the pane is cracked, apply masking tape in a crisscrossing pattern over the cracks. This will prevent cracks from getting worse over time, especially during the winter. You should also cover your work surface in newspapers to prevent any broken pieces from falling. After the broken pane is removed using a putty knife, you can use it to scrape off any glazing putty or glazed window seal. Remove the glazing points by using pliers. Finally, paint the bare wood with a fast-drying primer.

Measure the length and the width of the grooved channels with a tape. Subtract 1/8" from both measurements to account for the slight movement of the replacement pane.

It is possible to resolve the problem by replacing the seals on the gaskets. This will not necessitate replacing your entire window unit. It will make your home more energy efficient. To accomplish this the window glazier needs to take off any retaining clips or strips that keep the IGU in place and cut through the old sealant with a saw.
