How to Replace Window Panes
A cracked window pane can cause a lot of trouble. It can also be a chance to upgrade your glass to energy-efficient or insulated windows and reap benefits like improved comfort, increased potential for resales, and less costs.
It's a task you can tackle yourself at a fraction of the cost of hiring a professional. You only need the right tools and a few hours of your time.
Glass
If your single-pane windows are old, deteriorating or broken replacing them with modern insulated or tempered glass can increase energy efficiency and reduce noise while also preserving the original character of older homes. The procedure of replacing a window pane is relatively simple and can be done by anyone with basic hand tools. You will also require an additional window pane, glazier's suggestions, pliers, and latex glaze putty. If necessary, you can use a heating gun to warm the old putty. Before beginning, wear gloves and safety glasses as working with broken glass may cause injuries.
Begin by removing any broken pieces of glass. It is best to use pliers for this, but a flathead can work equally. Utilize a wood chisel or putty knives, to take away any remaining old putty around the frame and the window sash. Be careful not to damage the window sash. Work slowly and carefully. It is best to do this on a sturdy ladder instead of the ground and to have someone standing below the sash to help keep it steady.
Make sure that the window frame is ready to accept the new pane after you have removed the old glue. Find the width and the height of the opening in the sash and subtract 1/8 inch from each measurement (to allow for seasonal expansion and contraction). These measurements can be taken to a home center or hardware store to have cut a piece of stock glass to the right size. You can cut the glass yourself if you possess the appropriate tools.
After putting the new pane in place After installing the new pane, apply a small amount of caulking around the edge to make it weatherproof. Then, you can install a glazier's pointing on each side of the frame to secure the pane into place. The points shouldn't be so tight that they create friction between the sash and frame, but they also shouldn't be loose.
Before applying the putty make sure to knead it until it's soft and free of lumps. Make it into pencil-sized strips. The first strip should be glued to the frame's corner. Work from one corner to another and ensure that it is even and smooth.
Glazier's Points
The glazier's facets are small triangular pieces which help to secure glass into frames for windows without scratching or damaging the fragile surface. Understanding how to use these tiny pieces of help is simple and could save you money on a professional installation or the cost of buying new glass.
After the old putty as well as the glazier's points have been removed, thoroughly clean the frame with a knife to eliminate any remaining residue. Lightly sand the frame in the rabbet grooves if needed to smooth out rough areas. If you do sand the wood, make sure to protect it with painter's tack to avoid accidental damage.
Write down the dimensions of the frame. Take these measurements to a hardware store or a home center, and have the new pane made slightly smaller than the frame's opening. This will ensure that the pane fits snugly and allows for expansion and contraction.
Place the new pane in the frame and push it in with your hands. Then, use the tip of your chisel, or the back of the putty knife to pierce the glazier's points as shown in Figure 11. After you're done, the points should be level with the top edge of the pane. the shoulders of the points should be below the rabbet's rim groove.
Apply a thin layer of glazing compound on the rabbet grooves and edges of the glass. This will seal and protect the edges. Allow it to dry completely and cure.
Install the new window sash when the glazing compound has dried. First, coat the wood with an even layer of linseed. This will stop the new putty from drying out or cracking when it absorbs moisture. Apply the coat using a brush or the tip of your knife, and then use the chisel or the back end from the putty knife to gently hammer in the new sash and glazier's points into the grooves of the rabbet. Repeat this process in intervals of 10 inches all around the frame.
Putty
A baseball hit or a rock thrown by error or a branch falling could result in a broken or cracked window. The majority of windows can be replaced easily by simply putting in a fresh piece. The glass is held in position by a small metal clip, referred to as the glazier's point, and putty. This compound is also referred to as glazing compound. Before installing a replacement pane, first get rid of the old one and clean the area with a rag and an abrasive scraper that is a pull type or an abrasive wood chisel. Wear gloves and safety glasses while working. If the window is glued to the frame, you'll have to use a heat gun to soften the adhesive prior to cutting it loose.
If you are planning to replace the original sash, remove any pieces of molding that secure the old pane. Then sand the sash to ensure it's smooth and ready for a new caulk. Once the sash is put back in place, you can apply a silicone caulk over the glass. This will ensure that it won't get soiled or [Redirect Only] discolor over time.
Take out the glazing points in the rabbets. These are the grooves in the sash, which is where the glass is located. If they are hard to chisel, use the hand tool, like a heat gun over them for a few minutes to soften them. If you're using a heating gun, make sure not to scratch the railings of the sash or the sash itself by using the tool too tightly.
After the old points of glazing and putty have been removed, prepare a bed for the new pane. Roll a piece of glazing compound between your hands, shaping it to be about 1/2-inch thick. Then, you can press it into the rabbets where the glass will be. It's important that the glass rests against the putty on both sides, so if you need to do so, gently tap the glass into the rabbet with your thumb.
If the new pane is cracked, you can cover it with a solvent-based glass glue or silicone caulk prior to pressing it into the sash. Otherwise, you'll need to putty over the crack to create a tight seal and keep water out. After the putty has dried remove the oily film from the glass and let it dry completely before painting. Paint after the putty has dried completely. It will not form a good seal and may discolor or leak over time.

You may be concerned about replacing a broken pane of glass. In reality, replacing a single piece of glass doesn't have to be expensive when you do it on your own. Even a double-paned window can be replaced at a fraction of the cost it costs an expert.
First, if you are working on a large window handle replacement, ensure that it is securely attached to the frame. Using the proper tools and techniques, you can accomplish this task fairly easily and quick.
When you are ready to begin with the removal of the window pane. Remove the metal glazing points attached to it. They are basically tiny metal triangles that act as "nails" that hold the window in place within the frame of wood. They are buried beneath a bead or glazing glue which hardens into a solid wedge that holds the frame in place and hides the points.
After removing the old pane, clean the frame and wood. Scrape off any paint that has been used and sand the rabbet grooves that the glazing points were. Sand them down to bare wood surfaces, so that you can paint the frames the same shade. After sanding the wood, apply a layer of flax oil. This will help prolong the life of the frame.
The next step is to measure the dimensions of the window opening. You'll need to take horizontal and vertical measurements of the entire opening and also the thickness of the old pane. Subtract 1/8 inch from each measurement to ensure that you have the exact size for the new pane. This will also allow for expansion and contraction of the glass in times of seasonal change. Take these measurements to a hardware or home improvement store and ask them to cut you cut the glass 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.
