How To
How do I replace a cracked window?
One of the most popular home improvement projects is to replace broken windows. This involves fixing any damage caused by the glass. In this case, the repair work should only take around 30 minutes. However, if you are not familiar with how to replace broken panes of glass, you may cause further damage to the home. This article will give you some helpful tips for replacing broken windows.
First, remove the old glass from its frame
To remove the old windowpane, you will first need to take out the screws that held it in place. Then undo the lock at the top center of the bottom section of the window frame. Next, lift the window upwards so it isn’t attached to sill plates (the metal bars below the floor). Finally, use a pry tool to carefully loosen the remaining screws until they pop out of their holes. Once the panes are removed, clean them thoroughly.
Second step: Clean your new glass
You can wipe any dirt off the glass surface with a towel or a dry cloth. You can clean the glass with a spray bottle containing water and rubbing alcohol if there is any debris underneath.
Third Step: Reinstall new glass
Attach the window panes to the frames. Start by pushing down on the lower edge of the outermost pane with the tip of a screwdriver. Gently push the pane into the opening of the frame. Then move to the next pane, pushing it firmly against the previous pane before reattaching it. Continue inserting panes until all windows are assembled. You can seal the spaces where the panes meet using a silicone caulk pistol.
Fourth step: Repair the damaged area
Before installing the new glass, make sure to inspect the area around any cracks. Inspect the area around the window for cracks near the corners. If so, add two small pieces wood to each side. These wooden blocks will provide strength for the window, as well as acting as spacers during the expansion or contraction of the weatherproofing.
Fifth Step: Seal the repaired area
After replacing the glass, you can apply silicone caulking along the perimeter edges to the window frame. This will create a seal between the glass frame and the wallboard. Silicone caulking is available at hardware stores as well as online. It is important to match the color of the walls with silicone caulking.
Let the caulking dry overnight. You should not disturb the caulking after it has fully hardened. You may crack the caulking by not waiting long enough.
