Double pane window replacement cost near me

Professionals mainly install plastic windows, so when there are cracks in the insulating glass unit, the owner has a legitimate question: can you remove the glass unit with your own hands?

Looking at the perfect window construction, it seems impossible to take out the glass unit alone. Still, anyone can do it - the main thing is to understand the principle of removal, to have a unique tool and a brave helper.

Window replacement process Bethesda ma

Although the window unit seems to be a monolithic construction outwardly, apart from the PVC profile, it has small parts - glazing beads that firmly keep the window unit in its fitting place.

In this material, we will consider the whole algorithm and explain in more detail how to remove the insulating glass unit from the plastic window?

Step 1. Determine the basic parameters of glazing beads.

Glazing beads are plastic strips with an elastic seal, pressing the glass pane to the profile while protecting it from external moisture, dust, and air penetration. In addition to their primary function, glazing beads perform the "role" of decorative elements that complete the overall design of the window. To correctly remove the glazing unit from the frame and gently remove the damaged structure, you must correctly remove glazing beads. They may differ in shape (square, round, shaped), size, and type of installation (vertical, horizontal), but it does not affect the complexity of dismantling. But the sequence and safe removal is discussed below.

Step 2: Choosing the right tool

A small note: if you doubt your competence and are afraid that you will not be able to remove the glazing unit from the plastic window by yourself, it is better to turn to professionals. Well, if you are confident in your abilities, you need to pick up:

A sharp, flat metal tool (a joiner's chisel, knife, or spatula will do);

A hammer with a rubber mallet;

A plastic spatula for leveling plastic lining bridges.

Tip! Plastic parts become more brittle with the onset of cold weather, so replacing the cracked glazing unit in the warm season is better.

Step 3: Removing glazing beads

To remove the glazing bead:

  1. Place the sharp edge of a chisel or spatula against the joint between the profile and the part at an angle of 90%.

  2. With a rubber hammer, tap on the handle until there is a small gap.

  3. Remove the hammer and undermine the glazing bead, gently pulling it out.

When dismantling, it is crucial to maintain the correct sequence: start with the long vertical glazing beads, then the bottom, and the last - it is necessary to take out the top glazing bead.

During the removal of glazing, be sure to number all glazing beads. They will need to be inserted each in its place.

Could you not mix them up? Even if the glazing beads look the same, e.g., top and bottom, they may still differ in length by a few millimeters. The difference of even 2 mm will be visible at the junction of glazing beads.

Step 4: Removing the insulating glass unit

After removing the last glazing bead, you must gently pull the glass unit out of the plastic window frame.

Remember! The glazing unit is a heavy element, so when dismantling it, it is better to involve a helper to hold the entire structure from falling. If you remove the cracked glazing unit, the rays of cracks and chips should be sealed with tape. The work should be done with gloves on. This is the only way to keep the whole process safe and avoid injuries and cuts!

Carefully pull out and place the damaged element vertically on the floor. A rag or a sheet of rubberized material should be placed on the floor. Do not put the window on the concrete or wooden floor or laminate flooring.

Step 5: Dimensioning the damaged insulating glass unit

So, you have managed to take the glazing unit out of the window.

Now we measure and fix four parameters of the double-glazed window: Number of chambers and sizes - Width, Height, and Depth. If possible, you can measure the thickness of the glass itself. Finally, we report all the parameters to the manufacturer of insulating glass units, place an order and wait for the product's readiness.

While the new insulating glass unit is being produced, the damaged one must be reinstalled.

Step 6: Insulating glass unit installation into the window

The installation of the new or cracked insulating glass unit, from which you have already measured, is done in the reverse order: check the availability of plastic underlay, install the glass unit in the frame, then the upper glazing bead, then the lower and the last two vertical ones. When installing the part in the groove, start from the two corners simultaneously, gradually inserting the whisker on the rod into the hole of the plastic profile, tapping gently along the entire length.

This is how you can take out a damaged pane from a plastic window by yourself, but you should never forget when doing this: if you fall, broken glass can cause serious injury, so it is better to use the services of professionals!

During the operation of plastic windows, you may need to replace the insulating glass unit due to mechanical damage to the window. Replacement of the insulating glass unit in a plastic window is a standard service in Saint Petersburg that requires urgent action from the window company. The insulating glass unit is usually changed because of broken glass in the opening of the product or the lack of air tightness of the system. The price of replacement depends on many factors, including: 

the number of chambers in the insulating glass unit;

the presence of energy-saving glass;

the size of the window opening;

the presence of tinting; 

To avoid problems with repairing the plastic window, it is necessary to follow the rules of care for it. To do this, it is recommended to perform timely maintenance of the window system, lubricate the fittings and check the seals.

Peculiarities in the replacement of the insulating glass unit

There are situations when it is necessary to fix the breakage of a plastic window urgently. For this purpose, a qualified repair technician specializing in double-glazed windows is available. The list of his services includes a trip to the house for diagnosis, consultation on the replacement or repair of the product, adjustment of fittings, and the implementation of repairs on the spot, if possible.

If the window profile has retained its white color, is not stained and easy to clean, and the fittings work without interruption, it is not necessary to change the window completely. You can get this by replacing the insulating glass unit, making the window up a grid, and getting a new level of comfort and safety. Replacement of the insulating glass unit, pluses: 50% of the cost of a new window does not require disassembly; there will not be dust or dirt, and no need to re-do the lining. Replacement insulating glass minuses: Available when the profile and hardware are in good condition when the window is wall-mounted, and there is no blowing on the mounting seam. When you need to replace the insulating glass in the window To, determine the need for replacement of insulating glass in the window can be on the following signs. Symptoms of "illnesses" of double-glazed windows: Condensate between glasses inside a double-glazed window - depressurization Cracked double-glazed window - installation mistakes or the thermal shock Broken double-glazed window - mechanical damage

Signs of technologically outdated double-glazed windows: Cold in the apartment or house - the glass in the double-glazed window is technically obsolete Noise from the road - the double-glazed window is not of the right soundproofing The room is heated from the sun through the windows - not sunscreen or multifunctional glass in the double glazed window High heating bills in a private house - the glass in the double glazed window is technically outdated Curious glances of passersby - no special mirror glass installed Grates on the windows - no triplex glass in the double glazed window.

The broken or depressurized double-glazed window must be changed urgently. It cannot be repaired. If the glass unit is intact, but the window was installed in the early 1990s or 2000s, it is possible to say that it is morally and technically obsolete. So, the window owner is missing the necessary level of comfort. Innovative technologies have made the glass 50% warmer, and the level of sun protection has increased by 40-60%. In addition, the glass has become safer and more soundproof. Replace the insulating glass unit with a plastic window - which one to choose? When replacing the insulating glass unit, it is crucial to decide on the necessary functions and choose the glass for the specific task. If the radiators do not work in the apartment or the house in winter and the house is cold, double-glazed windows (3 glasses) with energy-saving i-glass Planibel TOP N+ will help save heat.



It is possible to increase the heat-saving properties of the double-glazed window by installing two such glasses in the double-glazed window and filling the inner chambers with inert gas. For 100% exclusion of heat loss, you can order a 3-chamber double-glazed window (4 glasses) with energy-saving glass, which is still available from a limited number of manufacturers. In this case, the multifunctional glass Energy Light will do as well, which besides protection from the cold, will save from the heat in the summer. ✔ High heating and air conditioning bills Heating and air conditioning of a country house is a significant cost item. Insulating glass units with Energy Light energy-saving glass and sun protection simultaneously can help reduce these costs.

Furthermore, the multifunctional coating of glass Energy Light does not let the heat radiation - the heat from the batteries is reflected inside the apartment, and the solar heat is reflected outside. Therefore, the glazing will effectively regulate the heat inflow in summer and keep the heat inside during winter frosts. ✔ Windows on the sunny side, in southern regions On summer days, too much sunlight enters through the windows, and the room gets hot. You can reduce your air conditioning costs by installing double-glazed windows with Stopsol Phoenix or Energy Light glass. Stopsol Phoenix mirror glass in a double-glazed unit cuts off 56% of the sun's harmful radiation (with a UV transmittance of SF 44%), preventing the burning of upholstery and wallpaper.

Energy Light glass with a light mirror effect and multifunctional coating offers increased protection against the sun, cutting off 61% of harmful radiation (SF UV transmittance factor 39%) and against heat loss by 50% during the cold season. In addition, the special Stratophone laminated glass absorbs Noise and prevents it from spreading. Nothing can disturb your peaceful sleep in your home with Stratophone insulating glass. It is important to remember that the sound insulation of the window is reduced to zero when it is opened for ventilation, so it is not superfluous to provide a ventilation system. ✔ Windows against intruders and neighbors Mirrored glass with protection against intruders Stopsol Phoenix during daylight hours hides people's privacy from the eyes of curious passersby. It should be remembered that the defense only works during daylight hours. When the light is on, the privacy effect disappears. ✔ Window grilles An anti-vandal protection of the window pane is essential for the first and last floors and where unauthorized persons can access the window. The first glass on the street side is Stratobel laminated glass.

In combination with anti-burglary hardware, Triplex will make the window resistant to penetration and eliminate bars on the windows. Replacing the insulating glass in the window - what do you need to consider? Installing solar glass in rooms with little sunlight - in the constant shade or on the north side of the building- is not advisable. Protection from the sun is not required here. The best option for such places is to install i-glass with high heat-saving properties or multifunctional glasses of new generation with higher heat-saving properties. When buying a window (equals around 200 rubles per 1 m2), saving money on glazing units will become a problem at the first frosts. You can reduce their cost using low-quality raw materials (sealants or desiccants). Such glazing will start to be covered with moisture from inside, and it is impossible to get rid of it. Poor-quality glue will melt in the sun, leaving indelible traces and emitting an unpleasant odor. In these cases, you will have to replace the glass, which costs 21 to 34 dollars per 1 m2.

There is an opinion that multifunctional glass is terrible for the growth of plants and seedlings. However, the industry center calculations show that the side of light (south or north) significantly impacts development rather than the type of glass. The amount of UV light entering the southern and northern windows is different by a factor of 5. In contrast, the difference in the amount of light entering through a window with regular and multifunctional glass is only 12%. 

Therefore, happy owners of the southern side should not worry about the growth of plants - glass with coatings will let in sufficient sunlight and prevent plants from getting burned by the overheated glass in the summer. Eastern, western and northern windows get plenty of light when the sun is peeking in, but this period is short-lived. However, amateur gardeners know that photo lamps are required to grow light-loving seedlings from February to March on all windows without exception. During its growth, the duration of daylight hours is only 9-11 hours, with 14-16 hours needed for active development. Fortunately, the cost of such lamps is low, from 600 rubles. Can I replace the glass in the window with their own hands? Replacement of the insulating glass unit in the window consists of several stages: Calling a wizard to measure from the window company. Order insulating glass units will require their dimensions - width, height, and thickness.

The wizard will advise on the types of glass and suggest what to choose—drawing up a contract and payment (in many companies, it can be combined with the arrival of the master measurements), Delivery, and installation of insulating glass. Doing it yourself is good if you have experience. In other cases, it is better to trust this work to professionals: The double-glazed window cannot be smaller if you have made a mistake with its size. The glass unit is heavy (a square meter of 2-chamber double-glazed window weighs 30 kg), and at the same time, it is fragile. Sufficiently bad put it on the floor or hit the corner when moving, and he could burst The glass unit is set in the opening on special pads, the transfer of weight to the sash and frame. Improperly installed insulating glass unit will warp the strap and its incorrect operation. New double-glazed windows will give the window a second life, and the choice of glass, considering the necessary needs of occupants in the house, will make life more comfortable and safer.
