You will need to use an utility knife to scrape away any old putty that remains on the glass or within the frame of the window. It can take some time and effort, but it is crucial to ensure a high-quality finished product.

Once you've removed the old putty you will have an open space that is ready to accommodate your new window. To make sure that the new window will fit to the opening, measure it and subtract 1/8" from the width and length. It is also an excellent idea to bring a shard of the old pane to your local hardware store so that you can match the thickness and type of glass.

Window panes can make your home more efficient by reducing heat losses and noise, as well as glare. It's good to know that replacing just one window pane is a relatively easy task you can complete yourself.

It is recommended that you wear gloves made of leather and eye protection while working with glass because it can be very dangerous.

To begin removing the putty, you must first remove any nails or spriggs holding the window in place. These nails were used to hold the window in place prior to when double or upvc glazing was available. The majority of these nails are located in the corners of the frame and can be removed using an screwdriver when they are exposed or by cutting them off using a hacksaw. If any are hidden, you'll need to use either a small chisel (or putty chisel) to remove the frame.

Mineral spirits are needed to get rid of any old glue that remains after removal of the nail. This product can be purchased at most hardware stores. It is best to use it in an area that is well ventilated. It is also recommended to use the oil in short bursts to avoid over heating the wood and paint since this can cause it to crack or explode.

A heat gun can also be utilized to soften the putty. This method is more effective on putty which has been sprayed or hardened. Be sure to move when using a heat gun. If you keep it in the same spot for too long, the wood can be burned and the glass cracked.

Steel wool can also be used to remove the putty. However this method isn't as effective and can get messy. This should only be used as a last resort, and is not recommended for homes with children.

Removing the Metal Glazing Points

The first step of a window glass replacement is to take off the metal glazing points that hold the old pane in place. With a putty knife scrape as much of the softened glaze as is possible to expose the glass points. There should be at least four points, all centered on either side of the frame. Once you have spotted the metal, grab each one using needle-nosed pliers and pull them straight out. You should not pry too hard. If the point is stubborn or breaks, it could cause damage to the frame.

Once the putty as well as the metal glazing points are removed, it is now time to prepare the frame for the new pane. Clean the grooves where glass is to go and make sure they are clean and free of dents and cracks. A heat gun can be useful in this process however, be cautious and use a low temperature to prevent the wood from bending or becoming damaged.

Then, if the glass is double pane glass take a shard of the old window with you to ensure that the new one is a good fit. Spread a thin layer of silicone sealant on the inside surface of the frame rabbet, then press the new glass into it. Cut off any excess sealant with the blade of a razor, then paint the outside to finish.

If you only have one pane of glass do not bother with this step. If the thickness of your new glass is different from the original then you'll require a new piece of glass that is the appropriate size at your local glass cutter. Put a glazier's pushpoint at each corner of the frame's rabbet prior to installing the new pane (two per side for small windows, more for large windows). This will give the pane additional support and stop it from being snagged.

Installing the New Pane

After the old glass has been removed, use a tape measure to find the dimensions of the frame's rough opening. Note down the measurements and subtract 1/8 inch from each side to arrive at the new glass size. This will guarantee an exact fit and allow for the natural expansion and contraction. You can bring the measurements to an area hardware store or a home improvement store and they will cut a new piece glass for you. If possible, bring a shard from the window that is already in use to match the thickness and style.

Apply a small amount of latex caulk around the edges of the glass after it is in place. This will form an airtight seal. Then, put glazier's points into the holes in the wood frame around the edge of the glass. You will need two points per side for a total eight.
