Window Glass Repairs
Condensation can damage the seal of your double-pane window and structural integrity. There are several temporary solutions you could consider as a building owner or homeowner facing this issue.
Measure the height and width of the frame opening. If you want to order a slightly smaller glass pane subtract 1/8 inch from each measurement. This will facilitate the installation and allow for seasonal expansion and contracting.
Cracks
Cracks in windows can be caused by a pebble that was thrown from your lawnmowers, a vase knocked over by a pet, or the sudden change in weather. Cracks like this can be repaired at home if you're willing do a bit of work. If your crack is bigger than an inch or if you have a single paned window or a double-paned windows with holes in both panes, then it is recommended to speak with an expert.
A window that's cracked but small or at the edge of the frame could be fixed by putting a strip of clear packing tape on either side of the crack. This will stop the crack from spreading and seal the gap to the outside and keep out the wind, rain, bugs and other debris. This is a temporary fix because glass cracks typically grow over time.
For more extensive cracks in glass, you can make use of two-part epoxy to fill the crack. You should first thoroughly clean the area and remove any broken glass. Next, mix up the epoxy in a well-ventilated location on cardboard or a paper plate. The mixture is usually a 50/50 mix of resin and hardener. However, you should always follow the instructions on the product you are using. When mixed, the epoxy becomes very thick and must be used immediately. Apply the adhesive to the crack and smooth it in place with your putty knife. Allow it to dry for 5 minutes.
