Problems like leaking, broken glass, or foggy windows can lead to loss of energy efficiency, costly repairs, and even health issues. FENSA certified installers can help you repair and maintain your double glazing to meet the energy efficiency standards for legal compliance and potential resale value. Broken Panes A broken window can create numerous problems, as it can block light, air and even pests. You can get an expert to repair the damaged window, but you can also fix it yourself for a fraction of what an expert would charge. You will need to remove the old window. Start by putting on protective glasses, gloves for work and dust masks to shield yourself from lead shards and glass dust. Install a sturdy work surface that is ventilated in an area. Place a dropcloth on the work surface to take any glass that falls when you remove it. Keep an HEPA vacuum near you to get rid of dust and other hazardous waste as you work. After the window has been removed and the old window is removed, use a knife to scrape the old glazing putty. Be careful not to damage the wooden frame of the window. If the old putty is having an especially difficult time coming off it is possible to use a heat gun to soften it. Make sure you wear safety glasses when working with a heating gun, and use caution to avoid getting hot glass or wood fragments in your eyes. The next step is to prepare the frame to accommodate 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, ask your local hardware store cut you a piece of double-strength glass that fits the opening precisely. Dry-fit the new glass to ensure it fits snugly before putting it in. Once you have the glass in place, lay a tiny amount of caulk
