Problems like leaking glass, broken glass or foggy windows could cause a loss of energy efficiency, expensive repairs, and potential health problems. FENSA certified installers are able to help you maintain or repair your double-glazing to comply with the energy efficiency requirements of compliance with the law and resale prices. Broken Panes A damaged window can cause a lot of issues, since it could hinder airflow, light and even pests. While you can certainly engage a professional to repair the broken pane, it's also possible to do the repair yourself at a fraction of the cost. To do this, you'll have to take off the old pane. To protect yourself from lead and glass dust shards, put on safety glasses as well as gloves and a mask. Install a sturdy surface that is well ventilated. It is recommended to put a drop cloth underneath the work area to catch loose glass when it is removed. It is a good idea to have an HEPA vacuum in the vicinity to clean up dust, debris, and hazardous waste while you work. Make use of a utility knife to scrape the old glazing putty off once the old window is removed. Be careful not damage the wooden frame of the window. If the old putty is having a particularly hard time getting off then you can try using a heat gun first to soften it. Make sure you wear safety glasses when working with a heating gun, and take care to avoid getting any hot wood or glass pieces in your eyes. Then, you need to prepare the frame to receive the new pane. Measure the opening, and subtract 1/16 inch in both directions to take into account the expansion and contraction of the wood. Then, have the local hardware store cut you a piece double-strength glass that will fit the opening precisely. Dry-fit the new glass to ensure it fits snugly before putting it in. A
