How Do You Replace a Broken Window?

glass-replacement-alpharetta

Have one or more of the windows in your Alpharetta, Georgia, area home cracked or shattered? If so, you may feel like taking on the task of replacing the glass in your broken window yourself. Although this can be a very complicated task that is often better left to professionals, this is a job that can be done yourself. If you feel like taking on this mission, you will need to follow these steps:

  • Remove the broken glass from around the window, making sure to wear gloves to avoid cutting yourself.

  • Measure the window pane opening and then cut a piece of glass that will fit into the opening perfectly.

  • Place the new glass into the window opening and then press glazier’s points into the frame around the window to hold the new piece of glass in place.

  • Apply glazing putty around the seam of the window where the glass meets the frame, and then smooth it out to create an even surface.

It’s important to keep in mind that this is a difficult job and improper installation will reduce or eliminate the benefits of having a window.
