My window seal broke a while ago, so the glass was all cloudy. The window companies wanted to charge me $325 per window to fix it, and you helped me do it by myself for maybe $75. Amazing! I am so grateful.
@@onlywenilaugh6589 there was a shop near me called Peninsula Glass. Or One Day Glass. They were 28x20, so not very small. The shipping was $20 but I picked it up myself, so the total was only $75.
Wow funny story from me bc the quotes i got for like 2 ~40 by 20 inch were around 1300 plus tax for changing out the igus. i also need to change out the arch top igu and my local glass wanted 850 or so for that piece alone!! BUT i got it for 250 from peninsula glass (one day glass) and will do that job today!! wish me luck!!
I have to say the favorite part of the video is listening to his little daughter calling a Poppy I love it. Great videos it is so helpful thank you so much keep up the good work Buddy
I love having a long auto glass knife to get some good leverage, gets in nice and close to the surface. Woods Power grip! Only way to go! I’m a year in with glazing, love it! Stay safe bro.
Amazing video thanks for sharing. Had the panel made from original location. $110 CDN dollars. Would have been $360 for them to come and remove and install. Did it myself for the $110 total. This video helped a lot thank you.
Almost all vinyl windows will be 1 inch over the visible glass dimensions. In other words 1/2 coverage all the way around. Andersen windows are the exception to this rule. Some of theirs are 13/16 over visible glass dimensions. You will need a pair of calipers and a low e checker to properly measure the glass thickness and determine if it has low e coatings. Or buy a glass checker pro from edtm
Man awesome video!!!! Straight to the point and super helpful. I’ve got a couple cracked windows in my house I’ve been afraid of changing them out. U made me a little more confident. Thanks man!
@@AlexRubioRQualityGlass great video. I have a broken pane on the outside of a dual pane window, do I have to replace both panes as one unit? Thanks again
Great vid. Clear, concise & very easy to follow. Thanks for posting it ! One thing I have to add, esp if you work FOR a glass company & it's in your video title,lol, the word for a piece of glass in a window or door is spelled, *pane*, not *pain*.
@@AlexRubioRQualityGlass Very impressed by your response. You took the feedback well, without being the least bit defensive.. If you lived in northeast Queens I would hire you in a second. P.S. Please respond to my request on 4/18/22 on how to repair a rain leak of a two-pane double hung vinyl replacement window at the bottom corner of the bottom sash in heavy rains.
This was super helpful other then I need the lower panel lol 😂 I’m just not to sure if I need to bring the frame in or if I just call to order the glass and I need to put it in the frame 🤣🥴
Do you have a suggestion on an easy method to cutting out an IG on a pella? They have a a really hard white rubbery type of adhesive. I usually have to use a multi tool. Which takes a lot longer
Alex, I want to completely pull out my double hung assembly (over 100+ years) and just put in a double-pane replacement glass (picture window) in it's place. I'm ordering the glass itself, just want to place trim around the glass on both sides. No opening/closing, very modern minimal trim. I know how to get the glass, the trim, no so much- suggestion?
Hi Alex I have 27 vinyl replacement double hung windows( each sash has a 2 pane unit) installed 25 years ago, by a company named Thermal Industries which is out of business. 3 of the windows are leaking at the bottom corners of the bottom sashes when there are heavy rains.. the weep holes are not clogged. I see how you changed the glass unit. Please explain how to stop the leaking at the bottom corner of the bottom sash when it rains hard? They are high-quality windows. The installer is still in business and says it is time for new windows. I think they can be repaired but I don't know how . Perhaps I could silicone the edge of the glass where it meets the frame on the outside. The glazing beads on in the inside and brittle and hard to remove.
Thanks for the video. Is it possible to take it out from the inside since mine is on the second story? I am not sure how to remove the fixed window part.
Dude, this is awesome. I just bought a new construction house and half the windows are failing I think. When it gets super cold I see condensation in between the panes, on the top stationary portion of the window, but at the bottom of that portion. (Basically the bottom part of the top half of the window, the half that doesn’t move) If that makes sense at all. Anyway, I was freaking out thinking all the windows would need to be torn out and replaced, trim and all. So nice to know I can replace them on my own and do it right. One question though, where do you source the replacement panes? Thank YOU!
Well you should be able to google your local glass shop and to make it easy on you and them just give them the width and height of your glass size one you figure that out and you will also need the thickness of the overall unit. If it’s a vinyl window they are normally 3/4 in thick and they can make it for you and now you know you can do it yourself super easy
Hi Alex, Thank you for all your helpful videos. Would you please tell me how I can replace one broken glass of an insulated glass. It's about 18"x38"x3/4". I have 15 year old grid inside the IGU which is impossible to find a match for. Can I just remove the glass using a heat gun and reuse the space and use latex glazing compound to reseal after putting a new pane of glass on one side. Thanks,
Andy Nav what we usually do when having to only replace one pane is we run a razor knife just under the Broken pane of glass and along side the butyl or whatever is holding it together and go around the whole thing and just make sure to clean it up as good as u can before putting your new piece of glass
Andrew Prince well we buy our stuff from CRLaurence but they only sell to accounts but I believe you can buy it at Home Depot or lowes as long as it’s 1/16 to 1/8 thickness by 1/4 or even 3/8 wide will work
Can you do this on a double pane window? Mine has 2 pieces of glass on the window. Broke both but on the bottom part. It also pulls out from the bottom part to clean the windows. It’s the newer windows.
Thanks for the great video. I'm looking at a top/fixed panel of a single hung window that is broken and it looks like the vinyl strips are on the inside. Is that possible? If so, will I still need to get around to the other side to slice the tape/silicon? It's a second story window... Is it possible to do it all from inside or will I be going up the ladder outside?
Sometimes the spacer melts and the bottom stops may not come off. Just leave it on and lift the glass out. Dont get overly excited folks there are hundreds of different styles of windows and the stops they use. This is NOT a representation for all windows. Some done even have stops and are what is know as wrap around. Where the corners are screwed together.
The window is on second story condominium. can we replace it from within the bedroom or we have to use a ladder to go outside which is pretty tall? It looks like you only replace the glass piece not the whole window. This might be cheaper than replacing the whole window but I’m not sure it’s possible in our case.We have the old I believe aluminum metal Single pane window.
Do I have to use the double sided tape, or can I use silicone caulking or glazing putty for the window? Thank you very much for the video and your insight!
BTW, in my case, the window is a sidelight window to side of the front metal door and its frame is a wooded one. I will be taking out the old broken sidelight glass (double pane) and replacing it with a new dual pane glass. The frame appears to have some kind of putty or adhesive or silicone caulking to hold the glass in its place.
Hi, we’re having a hard time getting the window to come loose. We used the razor blade, removed the strips from the outside but the window is old & is very stuck to the frame. Any suggestions on how to loosen it up? Thank you, appreciate any suggestions.
Dang. Sometimes that sealant ends up coming of the glass and adheres to the vinyl. We use a suction cup and or a pry bar to push out on it. If it’s broke then obviously no big deal but if you’re trying to save it then that’ll be hard
I have a vinyl window where the glass on the inside is broken but the glass on the exterior isn’t broken. Is there anyway to replace the 1 piece of glass on the inside or should I just do what you did on the video?
I had mine done professionally. They replace both panes, the replacement glass comes like that, basically remove the old broken double (or 1.5 panes) and insert a new double pane insert
Have you ever took one out that someone used silicone? Because instead of being a 20 minute job it can be way harder to replace. A new vinyl window comes with double sided tape so we just do what is recommended from our supplier
My window seal broke a while ago, so the glass was all cloudy. The window companies wanted to charge me $325 per window to fix it, and you helped me do it by myself for maybe $75. Amazing! I am so grateful.

I have to say the favorite part of the video is listening to his little daughter calling a Poppy I love it. Great videos it is so helpful thank you so much keep up the good work Buddy
I'm glad you showed cutting the glue strip from the inside first. A few other channels went right to removing the outer plastic glazing first
made it super simple and easy to follow very comforting to hear the young ones voice in the background too
Dude...you saved me a lot of money! Thanks a ton. Knowledge is power!
very nice no long talking straight to the point made it look so easy..... great job
Awesome video, always great seeing a fellow tradesman that is so good at his job. Love it, thank you.... Gonna give it a try.

No BS, just useful info. My kind of video, extremely helpful. Now I just need to know where to get glass and how to size ahead of time.

that trick spraying on the double sided tape before putting in the glass. It is awesome.

Do I need to replace the windows ? If I just replace the seals
Pamela Accinelli no! But most likely you will need to replace both panes if glass
Man i hope my bathroom window will be this easy to replace.
Alex sorry to bother but what tape are you using ? Thanks for the tutorial.
L V it is 1/16 of an inch thick double sided sticky tape, you can also use 1/8 which is more common at hardware stores if your looking for some
nice work

good 🔥

Yes u can. It just makes it more difficult next time you want to replace it, but yes some manufacturers use silicone instead of the tape

How do you recommend taking out champion windows
