Editors JOE JET Posted July 5, 2023 Editors Share Posted July 5, 2023 Quote How do you replace the glazing in a single hung window? In this episode Jordan walks you through the process of replacing a broken window pane step by step. Replacing a non-operable window pane can be slightly more complicated than in a window where the sash can be removed because you have to work on both sides of the wall, instead of simply removing the sash and working on a work bench. However, it is steill a pretty simple straightforward task and can be accomplished in less than a hour if you have the right tools and know what to expect. Step 1: Tape off broken window to prevent shattering and a messy cleanup Step 2: Mask window frame to prevent silicone from squeezing out onto it Step 3: Cut exterior retention beads and remove Step 4: Cut interior silicone bead Step 5: Remove broken pane with double ended window tool. Step 6: Remove old silicone bead from window frame (be sure to keep the spacers!) Step 7: Dry fit the new window pane and mask the interior next to the window frame to prevent excess silicone from contacting the glass. Step 8: Apply silicone to exterior of window frame Step 9: Set window on saved spacers Step 10: Apply new exterior retention beads Step 11: Clean Up!
