Before starting, put on gloves and safety glasses as working with broken glass could cause injuries.

Begin by removing any broken pieces of glass. It is recommended to use pliers for this, but a flathead can be useful equally. Then, use a wood chisel or putty knife remove the remaining old putty from the frame and sash. Take your time and work slowly making sure not to break the existing window sash. This is best done on an elevated ladder, not on the ground. Also, you should have someone on the ground to ensure it is held steady.

Make sure the window frame is ready to accommodate the new pane after you have removed the old glue. Find the width and the height of the opening in the sash and subtract 1/8 inch from each measurement (to allow for seasonal expansion and contraction). These measurements can be sent to a home center or hardware store to get a piece cut of glass stock to the proper size. You can also cut the glass by yourself if you possess the right tools.

After putting in the new glass, apply some caulking on the edges. This will make the glass weatherproof. Install a glazier's point on both sides of the frame. This will help secure the pane. The points shouldn't be so tight that they cause friction between the frame and sash but they should not be too loose.

Before applying the putty on the surface, you must knead it thoroughly until it is soft and free from lumps. Roll it into pencil-sized strips. Apply the first strip to the corner of the frame. Work from corner to corner, making sure it is even and smooth.

Glazier's Points

The glazier’s points are small triangular pieces of metal that help secure the glass to the frame without causing any damage to the fragile surface. It's easy to learn how to use this hidden tool, and you'll be able to save money on the expense of a professional installation.

After removing the old putty, glazier points as well as any remaining residue Clean the frame thoroughly using an utility knife. Lightly sand the frame in the rabbet grooves if needed to smooth rough areas. If you do sand the wood, make sure to protect it by using painter's tape to prevent accidental damage.

Write down the dimensions of the frame. These dimensions can be taken to an hardware or home centers store and the new pane will be cut slightly smaller. This will ensure that the pane fits snugly and allows for expansion and contraction.

Insert the new pane into the frame and press it down using your hands. Make use of the chisel's point or the edge of the putty blade to smudge the glazier's points as illustrated in Figure 11. The glazier's points should sit flush against the top edge of your pane, and the shoulders should be just below the lip.

Apply a thin layer of glazing compound to the rabbet grooves and the edges of the new glass. This will seal and protect the edges. Allow it to dry and cure fully.

Install the new window sash once the glazing compound has dried. First, saturate the wood with a thick coat of linseed oil. This will prevent the newly-created putty from drying out and cracking when it absorbs moisture. Apply this coat using a brush or the tip of your putty knife, and then employ the chisel or back end of the putty knife to gently hammer in the new sash and glazier's points into the rabbet grooves. Repeat this process in intervals of 10 inches all around the frame.

Putty

A baseball that is thrown, an errant rock or a fallen branch can cause a window pane to break or crack. The majority of windows can be replaced by simply putting in a fresh piece. The glass is held in place using a small metal clip called the glazier's pointed and putty, often called glazing compound. Remove the old pane and clean the area using a rag, a pull-type scraper, or a wood chisel. Wear safety glasses and gloves while doing this work. If the window is secured to the frame, you'll have to make use of a heat gun to soften the adhesive before prying it free.

If you plan to reinstall the original sash, remove any pieces of molding that secure the old pane. Then you can sand the sash down to ensure it's level and ready for a new caulk. Once the sash is put back in place it is possible to apply a silicone caulk over the glass. This will ensure that it doesn't leak over time or discolor.

Take out the glazing points in the rabbets. These are the grooves on the sash, where the glass is. If they are hard to cut, place a hand tool such as a heating gun over them for a few minutes to soften them. If you're using a heated gun, be careful not to cause damage to the railings or sash by holding the tool too closely.

After the old glazing points and putty have been 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. Then, you can press it into the rabbets, where the glass will sit. It is crucial that the glass sits on the putty in all places on both sides, so if you need to, lightly tap the glass into the rabbet with your thumb.

If the new pane has damaged, you can use a silicone caulk or glass glue made from solvents to cover the crack before pressing it in the sash. If the crack isn't sealed, you will need to use putty to keep the water out. Once the putty is dry clean the oily film off the glass and allow it to dry completely before you paint. If you paint before the putty is completely dry, it will not form an effective seal and could discolor or leak in time.

Paint

You may be concerned about replacing a broken pane of glass. However, replacing one glass pane does not have to break the bank if you do it yourself. Even a double-paned window can be replaced for a fraction of what it will cost for a professional.

If you're working with large glass windows first, ensure that it is securely attached to the frame. This job is relatively easy and fast with the appropriate tools and techniques.

When you are ready to begin with the removal of the window pane. Remove the glazing points made of metal that are attached to it. These are basically small metal triangles that function as "nails" which hold the window in place in the wood frame. They are submerged under a bead of glazing putty that is then cured to form a solid, molded wedge which holds the window in place and conceals the window's points.

After taking off the old pane clean the frame and the wood. Scrape off any old paint, and sand the rabbet grooves that the glazing points were. Sand them to bare wooden surfaces, allowing you to paint the frames with the same shade. After sanding, apply a layer of flax oil to the bare wood to help extend its lifespan.

The next step is to determine the width of the window's opening. You'll need to determine the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the entire opening, as well as the thickness. Subtract 1/8 inch from each measurement to ensure that you get a precise size for the new pane. This will allow for seasonal changes in the glass. Bring these measurements to the hardware or home improvement store and ask them to cut you a piece cut for you.

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.
