Glass
If your single pane windows are old, deteriorating or broken replacing them with more modern glass that is tempered or insulated will increase energy efficiency and reduce noise while preserving the historic integrity of older homes. Most homeowners with basic hand tools can repair the window pane. In addition to a new pane, the following tools are needed such as latex glazing putty; Glazier's points; pliers and a heat gun for warming the old putty, if necessary. Before starting, wear gloves and safety glasses as working with broken glass may cause injuries.
Begin by removing any broken pieces of glass. It is recommended to use pliers however a flathead could work equally. Then, use a wood chisel or putty knife to remove the remaining old putty from around the frame and the sash. Take your time and work slowly making sure not to damage the old window sash. This is best done on a ladder, not the ground. Also, ensure that someone on the ground to keep it in place.
After you have removed all the old putty, prepare the window frame for the new pane. Measure the width and height of the opening for the sash, subtracting 1/8 inch from each measurement (to allow for seasonal expansion and contraction). Bring these measurements to the nearest hardware store or home center, and get a piece of stock glass cut to size. Alternatively, you can cut the glass yourself, if you have the appropriate tools.
After installing the new pane after installing the new pane, put a tiny amount of caulking around the edge to ensure it is weatherproof. Then, you can install a glazier's pointing on each side of the frame to secure the pane into the right place. The points should not be tight enough to cause friction between the frame and sash however they should not be loose.
Before applying the putty on the surface, gently knead it until it is soft and free from lumps. Then make it into pencil-sized strips. Apply the first strip to the corner of the frame. Work from one corner to another, making sure it is even and smooth.
Glazier's Points
The glazier's points are tiny triangular metal pieces which help to secure the glass into the window frame without causing any damage to the fragile surface. It's simple to learn how to use this nefarious tool, and you'll be able to save money on the expense of a professional installation.
Once the old putty and glazier's points are removed Clean the frame thoroughly with a knife to eliminate any remaining traces. If needed it is necessary to lightly sand the wood along the grooves of the rabbet to smooth out rough areas. If you decide to sand wood, protect it with painter's tape to protect it from damage caused by accidental sanding.
Take the dimensions of the frame and write down accurate measurements. These dimensions can be taken to an hardware or home centers store, and the new frame will be cut a bit smaller. This will ensure that the pane fits snugly and allows for expansion and contraction.
Place the new pane into the frame and push firmly with your hands. Then, use the tip of your chisel or the back end of the putty knife to make a tap on the glazier's points as shown in Figure 11. The glazier's points should sit in line with the top edge of the pane and the raised shoulders should be just below that lip.
Apply a thin layer of glazing compound to the rabbet grooves and the edges of new glass for windows Replacement. This will protect and seal the edges. Let it dry and cure completely.
Install the new window sash once the glazing compound has dried. The first step is to coat the wood with an even layer of linseed. This will prevent the newly-created putty from drying out or cracking when it absorbs moisture. Use a brush to apply this coat, or the tip of the putty blade. Then, use the chisel on the back of the tool or the back of the handle to gently smash the new sash or glazier's tip into the rabbet grooves. Repeat this process in intervals of 10 inches all around the frame.
Putty
A hurled baseball or an unintentional rock, or falling branch could cause a window to break or crack. Fortunately, the majority of windows can be repaired by simply putting a brand new piece of glass in its the proper place. The glass is held in place with a small metal clip called a glazier's point and putty, which is often called glazing compound. Before you install a new pane, first get rid of the old one and clean the area using the help of a rag, an abrasive scraper that is a pull type or a wood chisel. Wear protective glasses and gloves while doing this work. You'll require a heat gun if the window is glued to the frame.
If you are planning to install your original sash, you must remove the molding that supports the old pane. Sand the sash until it's flat and ready for new caulk. After the sash has been re-installed and sanded, apply a fresh silicone caulk around the glass to ensure that it won't leak or discolor over time.
Take the glazing points out of the rabbets, the grooves in the sash that the glass sits. If they're difficult to cut out, you can try holding an instrument like a heat gun to soften them first. If you're using a heat gun, be careful not to damage the railings of the sash or the sash itself by placing the tool too close.
After the old points of glazing and putty are removed, prepare a bed for the new pane. Roll a rope of glazing compound between your fingers, and make it around 1/2 inch thick. Place it into the rabbets where the glass will be put. It is crucial that the glass sits on the putty on each side If you have to do so, gently tap the glass into the rabbet using your thumb.
If the new pane is damaged, you can use the silicone caulk or glass glue based on solvents to fill in the crack prior to pressing it in the sash. In other cases, you'll need to apply putty on the crack to create an airtight seal and keep water out. After the putty is dry, clean the oily film off the glass with the help of a rag. Allow it to dry completely prior to painting. Paint after the putty has dried completely. It will not create a solid seal and may discolor or leak over time.

If you've suffered a break in a window replacement pane, then you may be worried about the cost of replacing it. However, replacing one glass pane does not need to cost a fortune if you do it yourself. In fact windows with double panes can be replaced at a fraction of the cost of an expert.
If you are working with large glass windows first, ensure that it is securely attached to the frame. Using the proper tools and techniques, you can make this task relatively easy and speedy.
When you are ready to start, remove the old window pane. Remove the metal glazing points that are attached to it. These are essentially small metal triangles that function as "nails" that keep the window in place in the wood frame. They are buried under a bead of glazing putty, which is then cured to form a solid, molded wedge that holds the window firmly in place and hides the window's points.
After removing the old pane, clean the frame and the wood. Scrape off any paint that has been used and sand down the rabbet grooves where the glazing points were placed. These should be sanded down to bare wood to allow you to paint them the same shade as the rest of the frame. After sanding, apply a coat of flax oil to the wood that is not sanded down to help extend its lifespan.
The next step is to measure the dimensions of the window opening. You will need to measure the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the entire opening as well as the thickness. To determine the exact size of the new pane, subtract 1/8 inch from both measurements. This will also allow for expansion and contraction of the glass during seasonal changes. Take these measurements to a hardware or home improvement store and ask them to cut you the glass cut for you.
Now, it's time to bed the new window pane. To do this, place the pane inside the frame and move it around until a 1/16 inch of putty remains between the edge of the glass and the sash on all four sides. Use a putty knife to smear the putty evenly, making sure that there isn't an excessive amount of excess putty in the corners and along the edges. When the putty dries, it can be painted with the same color as the frame to prevent water and air from leaking into the frame and causing fogging.
