When it comes to keeping your home or business looking great, your windows play a big role. They let in natural light, provide ventilation, and can add to the aesthetic appeal of your property. But what happens when your windows start to show signs of wear and tear? That’s where a reliable window company comes in.
At our window company, we recently had a job to replace insulated glass in a window. The process of replacing insulated glass can be complex and requires careful attention to detail. Here’s how we tackled the job:
Assessing the Damage
Before we could start the repair process, we needed to assess the damage. We carefully examined the window and found that the insulated glass had a small crack in it. The crack was letting in cold air, which was affecting the energy efficiency of the window and making it difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the building.
Replacing the Glass
Once we identified the problem, we got to work on replacing the insulated glass. This process involves removing the entire window sash and separating the glass from the frame. We then carefully removed the old glass and installed a new insulated glass unit. The new glass was then sealed to ensure that it would be energy efficient and durable.
Challenges We Faced
Replacing insulated glass in a window can be a challenging job, especially if the window is in a hard-to-reach location. In this case, the window was on the second floor of the building, which made it difficult to transport the new glass to the job site. Another challenge we faced was dealing with the weather. The day of the job was unusually windy, which made it difficult to keep the glass stable while we were installing it. We had to take extra precautions to ensure that the glass didn’t break or become damaged during the installation process.
The Result
Despite the challenges we faced, we were able to successfully replace the insulated glass in the window. The new glass was energy efficient and provided a clear view of the outdoors. The customer was thrilled with the end result and appreciated our attention to detail and professionalism.
