How to replace an insulated glass in a window. Professional tips
How to replace a double-pane window in a window? Unfortunately, sometimes people face this issue. Various situations require the replacement of the glass unit. In this case, it is essential to think over the optimal algorithm of actions, suitable tools, and additional tips.
How to replace glass in a window — the choice of a specialist
We have to admit that not a single window is immune from all risks (except for double-pane windows with bulletproof glass, of course). If such a problem arises, you can use the service of the professional window company. To do this, you should place your order on the website or tell by phone about the problem that has arisen, clarify the cost of work, materials, etc.
But it is essential to understand that the usual practice is a complete replacement of double-pane windows in such situations. The costs for insulated glass repair are much higher than replacement works.
It is better not to measure the glass unit yourself. When replacing, even fractions of a tenth of an inch are essential. As a result of minimal errors, the glass unit may not enter the frame. In this case, financial responsibility does not apply to the contractor company; additional expenses will be required for a new order.
It is better to entrust the measurement to specialists engaged in manufacturing and replacing thermopane window glass.
Tools for replacing a glass unit
The main insulated glass replacement in Chicago stages are preparation and removal of an old glass unit.
Before replacing the glass, it is necessary to remove the glazing beads used for the old glass unit. Also, before the upcoming work, you should make sure that the window maintenance warranty has expired. If it is still valid, you should seek help from specialists or the manufacturer.
Glass unit replacement – technological process
The process of insulated glass replacement in Chicago consists of several stages:
- Preparation of the window opening for the installation of the frame;
- Installation of frames, window sashes, fittings (handles, overlays);
- Replacement insulated glass panels;
- Restoration of damaged slopes.
1. First stage
Workers hook one of the glazing beads with a spatula. You will need a boot knife with an acute angle to replace the glass unit to get the glazing bead. Such a knife makes it easy to cope with removing any glazing bead. If there is no such knife, a stiff spatula can be recommended. Insert the tool into the junction of the glazing bead with the frame, pulling out the glazing bead by turning it away from you.
2. Second stage
Use a spatula to hook one glazing bead and replace the double-pane window. First of all, you should get the longest bead. Usually, it is one of the side glazing beads. After removing it, you should do the next round. Then it would help if you put on special gloves, starting to remove the glass unit carefully.
3. Third stage
The serviceman lifts the glazing bead to install the plastic gasket under it. After that, another gasket is placed on it under the other side of the spatula.
4. Fourth stage
After the gaskets are under the different ends of the glazing beads, workers spread the plates apart. They move apart until the glazing beads are entirely detached from the frame.
5. Fifth stage
We take out the double-pane window and replace it. These procedures are also required for the rest of the glazing beads. Now workers can remove the broken glass unit.
6. Sixth stage
Installing a new glass unit.
7. Seventh stage
Installing a new glass unit.
If there is condensation on the glass unit from the inside, then in most cases, the matter ends with the foggy window replacement. It is more accessible, and the price for repairing foggy windows is almost the same as for repairing a metal-plastic structure. The United Windows Pro company specialists will choose the most optimal solution for you.
Alas, the problem of depressurization of double-pane windows is not far-fetched. It leads to the fact that people ask themselves: why condensation collects inside the glass unit, and windows are foggy? The United Windows Pro company carries out foggy window repair Chicago and the region. The specialists of our company know how to do their work and can help you resolve any problematic situation related to the breakdown of window structures.
Replacing double-pane windows — installation at the finish line
After removing the old glass unit, you can start installing a new one. The work is also carried out neatly in gloves to avoid injuries to the hands due to the glass. We hold the glass unit tightly with our left hand, hammering the glazing bead with a plastic hammer in our right hand. It would be best to start with the first upper bead, then with the free left hand, we deal with the lower one, then with two side ones.
If it is not possible to use a plastic hammer, you can get by with an ordinary metal one. But in this case, it is important to wrap a metal hammer in a cloth so that it does not damage the glass and affect the appearance of the glazing bead.

“Replaced a broken window for me. I was very happy with all aspects of their service. They were timely and professional. Their price quote was the lowest. The new window looks great.”
“I found this company on Wednesday because our glass door to the building scattered. They came out and boarded up the door then I placed an order for a new door and it was a blessing that they gave us a discount off the new glass. The glass was installed on yesterday 10/03/2021 and We are okay with everything. Great work. Excellent customer service and quick turn around.”
