If your windows are older, you may find a thin layer (called bedding) of putty on the frame. It can be removed to reveal a tough and brittle layer. This bedding is designed to provide a tighter seal and let the glass sit firmly against the frame when the points are placed. The putty should be heated around the perimeter with a heatgun (never use a flame, too much heat can cause the wood to split). This should soften the putty and make it easier to take off. Wearing eye protection and working in a ventilated area is also recommended.

5. Glass Replacement

It is possible to require an expert in glazing if your window or doorglass is chipped, cracked, or broken. It is important to take the right steps to replace or repair your glass. This will increase the efficiency of your home and security.

Before you begin, you'll want to make sure that the new pane of glass is the correct size to fit into your door or window frame. To do this, simply determine the length and width of your glass pane using a tape measure or piece of paper. Then, go to a home improvement store or glass shop to cut your glass pane to size.

After your glass has been cut, you'll have to remove the old frame glass. This could result in serious injuries when you handle the shattered glass in a wrong way. When you are removing your glass, be sure to wear thick gloves and long clothing as there could be tiny, nearly invisible splinters which could cause injury. Remove any metal glazing points or wood moldings that are holding your glass in the place. If they're stuck, use a heating gun to soften the material before you attempt to pull it off.

It's cheaper to replace one glass pane rather than an entire window or a door. This is a good choice if you only care about the look of a specific pane. If you're experiencing other issues regarding your door or window like locks or balance, or the frame itself, replacing the entire window may be the better alternative. This will give you an all-encompassing solution and allow you to alter the windows of your home to fit your lifestyle.
