Home Improvement Solutions

Windows are made to provide light during the day and sometimes to see through them and this is made possible by glass panes.this are available in clear sheet, frosted or in simple terms those that are see through and those that are not.Mostly glass for lavatories or wash rooms are frosted while for other rooms unless by architectural design are clear.

When the glass panes are shattered or broken the process of removing them is delicate because its easy to be cut or break the replacement.The pane should first be identified and more so by where it would be fixed.Most department stores or hard wares stocking glass will sell with the putty to fix back if the pane was fixed by putty.Some panes are fixed onto frames using rubber or timber beading affixed to the window frame or door frame.

The glass pane should be removed only after a replacement is ready.Start by removing the putty using a scrapper and clear it off from the frame.Take the new sheet of glass which has been measured to fit the frame space and before fitting put some putty on the frame before placing it back.Squeeze the pane on the edge firmly round with the scrapper handle so that the putty spreads evenly behind it.

Take more putty and line it round the glass pane at angle of at least forty five degrees to weather off any arising dust or water.Repeat the process again until the putty is about twenty millimeters thick round the glass and scrap off any excess putty.Take a clean clothe with petroleum and clean the pane.Ensure that the putty dries for about three to seven days before applying any paint which matches the rest of the window frame.
