Repairing
Double Paned Windows |
|
Q: This
past September I replaced two windows in my son's room. I installed
a double hung insulated window, which tilts in for easy cleaning.
Yesterday, my 15 year old son and a couple of his friends were tossing
around a hard ball and... yes you've guessed it! The ball broke the
inner glass of the top window. The outer glass is fine. Is it at all
possible to make the repair without removing the entire window from
the house?
A: This is a common question. Unfortunately, it is necessary to replace
the entire window because double pane-insulated windows are sealed
in the factory to give you the insulating benefits. Of course, it
is much cheaper for you to remove the broken section yourself and
take it to a glass company for replacement than it is to have someone
come to your home and replace it for you.
