Great job Alex and thank you. Very interesting. I am surprised that there is so much manual work involved with this process, in these days of automation. I would have thought that there would, at least, have been an adjustable clamping jig on pivots to make handling easier. Cheers NoAxe
Noacks Tegrinde thanks! And big manufacturers do have those machines, but most glass shops that replace your home windows won’t have some of that stuff. Again thank for watching
Alex, Thank you for posting such a great video. I am from the manufacturer of the machine you are using and have looked into our system, but I do not find your company name in our system. Please let us know if we can be of any assistance to you or if you have any questions. Thank you, Bill from Hot Melt Technologies.
I would love to buy IG units that are not engineered to fail every 20 years or less if they are facing south or west and get hot. The pressure buildup on a hot day is tremendous, eventually blowing out the seal. A good way to make them is to assemble them in a chamber that is as hot as the air in the unit will be on a hot day. Therefore, they will mostly have a vacuum that pulls them together, and on a hot day, the air pressure inside the unit is about the same as outside, preventing a blowout.
Is there a substitute for the hot melt if I'm going to fix my window at home. It's an older aluminum slider, dual paned. It has condensation between panes. I know I can get out of from and open frame. I was hoping just to use black silicone sealant around edges and let it harden. Is there a specific tubed sealant for this?
my thoughts exactly. Im leaning towards using "Black Knight" tubing on mine. But the inside part, I'm going to see if I can find some sort of plastic trim to mold my own or even wood?
Thank you for this. I really wanted to know how double glaze is done. Just one thing though, is there no need for desiccant between the glass? For fogging up.
Hola Alex, grate video I just opened an window shop with a friend in Colima Mexico and want to offer double pane windows. How makes the hot gun and what product or material you use to melt. Thanks for the information.
My old house built in the 70's has single pane aluminum frame windows. My question...do they make thinner spacer material or is there an alternative approach for my older aluminum frames? Recommendations?
In the U.K we can get a 4mm glass, 6mm spacer, 4mm glass unit, so 14mm would be a thin unit for wooden frames or retro fitting, normall units a 4/12/4 so 20mm in plastic frames, I have no idea what the gap is in alloy frames.
Thanks in a million. Great content. Awesome. Very well explained. I couldn't find this explanation--simply put anywhere else. Great teachers are hard to find. Grade: A++💥
They do have some sealant in a tube that u can use with a regular caulking gun. It’s called silicone foam and metal spacer ig sealant for lime 9$ online
Without replacing the air inside the window with a type of "dry air", wouldn't the atmospheric humidity condense on the inside of the glass with temperature changes?
We never vacuum air out and never have a problem with these!!! We do fill them with the desiccant and that absorbs whatever moisture is inside or is trying to come in
@@TS0G0 doesn't need to be. That's a little more efficient but is it worth the cost of the equipment to do that? No not in this case. Filter and dry the air and focus on other heat losses in your house.
Great video you explained it all very well👍..could I ask you please what else can I use to seal ..would a type if no nails glue or maybe some type of silicone 🤔 do the same..say from a homemade point of view
Can this be done using acrylic window instead of glass? Where do we buy the spacer? How does 1/2" acrylic single pane compare to same in glass as far as insulation properties? Thanks
what is this black stuff and how can you remove it from a glass window? I have separated 2 panes from a double glazed panel but i'm having trouble getting the black sticky stuff off.
There's a video where there's a membrane on outside wall allowing for air flow but where moisture can't come in. What's your view on that? Better than insulated panels?
hello my name is Martin out of Houston Texas. i make stained and leaded glass. i am intrested in making ig units with my glass i would like to know where i can get the hot machine and the aluminum spacer
We get our stuff from CRLAURENCE we have an account set up with them not sure if they sell to people without an account but you might be able to order online or your local glass shop might be willing to sell to you
Alex what are your IGU's going for.. I'am looking for something a bit customized to replace my standard IGU double pain. With one that the outside pane is made with laminated glass. 24in x 30in 7/8 overall thickness hoping for quote plz.
Is there a way to cut through the black sealant later on if we need to replace one of the glass sides? If yes, what do you recommend using to cut through it?
@@beechenlee its honestly easier to just build a new IGU. Once you cut open the current one, you are compromising the seal/risking glass breakage. Even if you butyl it back up, the spacer still has a shelf life. Which, for these kinds of spacers, is about 10 years
Hey Alex, great vid. I'm looking for a vid on removing and possibly straightening a frame section that appears to be bent. Didn't want to just get a big honkin clamp and squeeze the frame back as the rubber seal between the sealed unit and frame needs to be aligned properly our it's just going to get jammed up and damaged. Clear as mud??? Thanks for any advise. Do you provide service calls for this type of repair??
What I want to know with humidity in the air will cause the cavity in between the glass to mist up in colder climate and I heard they inject argon gas also in the double glazing.
Great vid, thanks. Questions: 1. Can I use silicon caulk instead of hot melt and leave it clamped until cured? 2. How do you prevent moisture from being trapped inside? I would think if it was even humid out, that moisture might cause condensation? 3. Can I make wood spacers and paint them?
Great questions. Silicone will work, not recommend but I just don’t know how long it will hold compared to the hot melt . Secondly I’m getting ready to post another video with the whole process, the spacer does have desiccant that Absorbs the moisture. And last I’ve never tried wood spacer but I don’t see why it would not work for quick and cheap fix
Would you mind sharing what model is your hot melt of in your professional opinion which one is the best and cost friendly? What butyl sealant do you use? What is the best way to clean glass of is there a machine that can clean spot free? Also it may sound stupid but wanted to ask, can old sealant be remelted and reused? Thanks
Our hot melt we use is the Benchmark 315 and we’ve had it over 10 years and works great the the part number for our butyl is 8203 for our CRlaurence vendor
@@AlexRubioRQualityGlass thanks for your reply, really appreciate it. I think you missed the 2nd part. What is the best way to clean glass, can used sealant be melted and reused again?
I have two questions.. is there a way to do this without the machine? And what about the gases I hear needs to be inside the panel? I have a stack of reclaimed windows I was to take apart and reseal.. I just don't have the machine if the gas thing isn't really a thing! Appreciate you!!
There are tubes like caulking called metal and ig foam sealant you can buy online and just need a regular caulking gun but it does take a few days to dry compared to a few minutes
What is the tool you used? Hot melt gun? Is it silicone you put along the sides? I have some old windows that have begun to leak. The duo panes have come loose. I would like to repair them instead of replacing them. Is it possible to clean off the old material off the spacer, replace the desiccant (what is it and where do you get it?) and then remake the insulated unit? Thanks.
I thought the air inside these windows was vacuumed. Is it possible to make these windows DIY with the black stuff and some way to heat it prior to application? By the way, what is the black pitch?
Vincent Labrecque the black stuff is just butyl.... and no these don’t have to be vacuumed out there are some that are argon filled and they used what is called a breather tube to fill it up
Alex, I'm starting a window pane replacement/repair company. I'm new so I do need training and these videos helped me with more ideas. I used to be a builder but the body is not as it used to be. The repair company I want to use drills holes on the exterior and you use special patented vents and this dries out the descendent and keeps it dry . This will allow the window to stay clear with a 20 year warranty. Or if it's too far gone replace the IGU. I'm wondering is I can have a shop to make my own IGU or is it worth it? I guess you have to see what you can get materials for and figure out the labour and whatnot. But for emergency repair you could offer a 24hr service with a higher mark up that's all. What I've read/learned is that Argon gas is somewhat overrated. It saves minimal and the costs out way the savings so why bother? After 3-4 years the gas is out due to solar pumping anyway. Trust me I've been in construction over 30 years and always put Argon in my windows because that's what everyone does. But getting into the anatomy and understanding windows more now I don't see the purpose. Any help/feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'm in Canada, so we go from -30 Celsius to + 30 Celsius. Sorry for the long question.
We feel the same about argon gas. As long as you go with a soft coat of low e glass that’s is usually good enough, and the hot melt machine is definitely worth it especially for emergencies like you said when people don’t wanna wait days for a replacement. We get most of our stuff from crlaurence you can look up the website for IGU materials
@@AlexRubioRQualityGlass Awesome thanks for the reply and I'm going to start watching videos once a night to gather information. Very thorough, very good videos and willing to help a northern neighbour. THANK YOU!!! EH!!! Lol

Hi Alex, you haven’t answered my question. I don’t have a hot gun to apply hot butyl. Is it possible to apply something else? I found desiccant beads that I can replace. I am thinking of applying silicone. Please answer. Thanks.
Hello Alex. How much do you add when you measure glass side by side without the stops? 7/8 or 1 inch man. i am trying to build a double pane without removing the old one yet.
Wow. I'm not going to Home Depot. I'm getting that hot melt machine. FYI, spacer is filled with desiccant that removes humidity between the glass panes so no fogging with temp changes.
Chuck Stark yes it is. Have u tried putting it in your hand and then spray some glass cleaner. It warms up pretty good at first u think it going to get hot, it’s a good way to know it that stuff is working.
I use hardwood spacers mitered together and then i toss in a handful of desiccant into the window then seal it all up with silicone. Desiccant makes a nice decoration inside the glass if the sun hits it just right.
Hello, just to ask if you just glue everything together with out argon gas, it will do the same. As a I'm not a window man, can I use a caulk gun and wich product can I use to seal it, it works on flex glass too. Thank you for your help.
I thought that a gas had to be filled in between the two layers of glas to prevent condensation? What do you do if the air in between the glas is very moist?
Good job👍 Please help Is this possible to broken glass replace from doubble glazed glass panel. I have one side glass is ok but other one is broken. Thanks
george lowellohhdgg63nnd the purpose of glue is to hold the spacer and glass together, no air letting inside the glass , to lesser the weather effects.

It just takes like 3 days to cure instead of 1 few minutes
Without replacing the air inside the window with a type of "dry air", wouldn't the atmospheric humidity condense on the inside of the glass with temperature changes?
The spacer frame is hollow, covered in little slits, and filled with a desiccant to absorb moisture.
I thought air between the glass panel should be sucked out making it vacuum. No?

How do you get the moisture out before sealing?
the spacer bar is filled with a load of small beads called desiccant. it absorbs the moisture inside the unit after its sealed
I have the same butyl machine lol cool stuff. Only difference is we use super spacer & not the aluminum
Trippy Larry nice! We use super spacer when we go a long distance to a job site and we do it them on site!
alex rubio nice. Ya we manufacture the units on site. We call it Instaglass lol
Trippy Larry I might have to start using that word too!! Lol
How do you put the gas in and vent ambient air and moisture out?
A very good tutorial for first timer. Much thanks. What is the hot black substance used for sealing?
How can we select airgap, i mean spacer thicknes. Any formula or guidelines?
Can one use silicone no hot melt is available, or any other sealant you'd recommend? Tia
