Double-glazed windows in a plastic window - a rather fragile thing. It is easy to break it enough, especially if you try. If the glass is damaged, do not rush to break the head to run behind the order of the new window. Old can be done with your own hands. Replacing the glass package in a plastic window - the task, though not the simplest, but in general, perfect. Even a fragile representative of a beautiful floor will cope!

The replacement of the plastic window may be needed not only if the glass is damaged, but even if the coating does not cope with its duties: freezes, it passes moisture.

If the glass cracked or crashed, misses moisture and cold, it urgently needs to be changed to live comfortably

In general, it does not matter for what reason you needed to remove and replace the glass. If you need to do this, take care of the new glass canvase in advance. Special attention is paid to the size. Measure the visible glass part of the plastic (without) in length and width. Add 3 centimeters to the obtained values \u200b\u200bfrom each side.

These three centimeters are responsible for holding the panels in their place.

Important: Decide the number of cameras in a plastic window. Plastic systems are:

• single-chamber;
• two-chamber;
• three-chamber.

The latter are considered the most insulating and frost-resistant. Single-chamber installed in southern regions or indoors.

In plastic windows, three-chamber glasses are most often installed - they are the warmest and durable

If only one glass broke in a two-or three-chamber plastic window, it is impossible to produce technically replacement. The fact is that there is a vacuum between the glasses, and at the base there is a special powder-desiccant. It prevents the formation of moisture between the glasses, so that the unit is able to serve 3-4 decades without loss of external attractiveness.

Independent glass replacement window of plastic is a real way to save.

The repair of the glass package will cost 2-3 thousand rubles, and the replacement of specialists from the company engaged in the manufacture, installation and maintenance of plastic windows is about 10 thousand rubles.

Important: If the plastic in the apartment or house you installed less than a year ago, then it is likely that the system is under warranty. Replace the glass must be free if the owner is not to blame for the damage of the property.

With rubber hammer: Remove the old coating

To remove the old web to replace, you should proceed only when you brought new glass. Otherwise, the security of the dwellings should be saved. It is unlikely that the cellophane film or wooden boards will keep the unnecessary guests.

If the new glass is already waiting for its o'clock, you can start replacing. You should not clean the old glass until the new thing was brought so as not to provoke robbers

To remove the glass to replace, you will need rubber hammer and ordinary knife. How to remove glass windas? Clearly follow the instructions:

• remove the window frame from the loops and place it horizontally on the soft tissue;
• carefully tapping the hammer, crack the cloth into small pieces;
• remove the residues from the stroke.

The strokes are an important element of the plastic system, no need to replace. Thanks to the small element, the glass is tight in the frame. The strokes are rectangular, rounded and curly. Without them, the window cannot function properly.

During the work of work, take care of your own security. Glass can crash for hundreds of small fragments that are able to cause significant harm to health. Therefore, work only in overalls and gloves, do not forget about safety glasses. If the fiberglass is very large, say hell.

How to extract damaged glass, you will learn from the video below.

Important step: Cooking a new glass unit to installation

When the former fastened was successfully removed, and the stroke elements are clean, they begin to prepare the new glass and clean the frame from the traces of the former panels. In particular, with the help of a knife remove the remains of the old sealant (also replaced), the brush is removed dirt and dust.

It is advisable to thoroughly wash the frame and glass, degreasing (White spirit, for example) and thoroughly dry the frame.

Before installing, the new glass must be flushed, dry, only then mounted in the frame

Plastic window is also required to be carefully flushed. How to do it:

• prepare a soap solution: Add 2-3 drops of any liquid soap per liter;
• apply a mixture on the glass with a sponge, as if wiping;
• remove the soap solution with clean water;
• dry the canvas.

Wash fibrite you need from two sides than carefully, the better for further operation of the product.

In mandatory glass, before replacing, degreased, and around the perimeter is strengthened with tape, creating a kind of frame with a width of no more than 2 centimeters on each side. So the cloth will be easier to transport and install.

About how to properly prepare will be told in video instructions.

Very neat: accurate installation

Parts of the future windows are prepared, it remains to directly replace the glass in the plastic window on their own. So that everything went smoothly, learn our instructions:

Detailed instructions on how to replace, you can see with your own eyes on the video.

Important: All strokes need to be installed where they were initially. If you skip at least one, then, with a probability of 100 percent, the plastic window will begin to behave "inadequately": it will be wrapped, moisture will appear on the windowsill, the formation of mold or fungus will begin.

You do not need to try to disassemble the double-glazed windows (two- and three-chamber) into separate parts. First, it is difficult to do it. Secondly, you will no longer collect the design. Thirdly, the powder dehumidifier will crumble, collect it and put back will be impossible. This is money for the wind. Glass will have to be ordered again to replace.

About important: do not miss

In general, replace the glass is not as scary, as it originally thought. The procedure will take a couple of hours (without taking into account the drying of the sealant). The main thing is to wait for the manufacture of the glass package. Here are some useful tips that will be accurately visible when replacing:

Finally

To replace the glass of the plastic window is not difficult if you thoroughly explore all the subtleties of the process. Rama does not need to be tempted. When replacing, do not forget to unscrew the handles, otherwise the design will be fused during the work, the glass will be crooked, you will have to redo.

Replace the old glass to a new one in one day, the main thing is to pay attention to the trifles - sealing, strokes. Then work does not have to redo

In the cold season, the window opening during the work is covered with cellophane or cloth to minimize thermal losses. In general, if the replacement suffers to the warm season (the situation is not emergency), it will be advisable to wait a bit.

At first glance, the design of plastic euro windows seems difficult. Therefore, if the glass package is damaged as a whole or one of the glasses, many are immediately looking for the number of phones in repairs. In this situation, you do not need to rush: it is possible to replace the glass in the plastic window yourself, thereby saving several thousand rubles.

The glass pack is a complex hermetic design consisting of several glass sheets, fascinated by an aluminum frame, which is covered with silica gel balls - absorb moisture in the package chamber. Between the glasses, double sealing from butyl tape, located under a remote frame, and thiocola - special mastic connecting into one entire structure.

For reference: in more detail about the device, the glass pack can be read in the work ".

This system has a very weak point - glass. The material is very fragile, capable of cracking or crash at any time. If this happens, it is necessary to immediately replace the glass in the double-blade, as due to the depressurization of one camera, quite quickly, consumer properties loses not only the package, but also the window as a whole:

• the moisture appears on the glasses, and the moisture absorber flows down in the form of a yellow resin;
• street sounds are well audible;
• drafts appear;
• he is poorly held warm.

In addition, the replacement of the glass package is required in cases when:

• the package chamber has lost hermeticity (causes can be different), in connection with the summer, the glass sweats, and in winter it is covered in the winter;
• the insulation of the room is necessary, as a result, the usual Floal glass changes to I-glass or a single-chamber package to two-chamber;
• the sounds of a noisy street began to penetrate the sounds - noise glass glazed windows.

Is it possible to replace the glass in the double-blade

The most frequently asked question when contacting the firm for installation and repair of double-glazed windows: "Is it possible to replace the broken glass in a double-glazing without changing the latter?" Depending on the level of the company, there may be several answers: "No", "yes", "you can, with departure to the customer."

We will analyze each of the answers.

"Not" They will say in a solid firm. Here I will value with your reputation and offer the client an optimal option: disassembling a broken package and installing a new one.

"Yes" You can hear from people seeking to earn a maximum. They will arrive, take a window, will deliver it to the workshop where the damaged glass will be removed and will put a new one. After that, they will bring the renovated double-glazed windows and install it in place. For quality characteristics, there is no questions to this repair - everything is done in accordance with the technical regulations.

Questions arise at the cost of repair work (it means only the replacement of glass in the packet itself) - they are 100-200 rubles. More expensive new glass package. Plus, the glass pack will put the firm that produced the repair, and this is additionally from 2,000 to 4,200 rubles per m 2. Therefore, from such a service to the owners of apartments with hands it is better to refuse (the recommendation does not apply to those who are not used to consider money).

"You can, with the departure to the customer." Such a replacement of glass should be described briefly: repair on the knee. For those who like to learn from their own mistakes, at the end of the work we give detailed instructions for this replacement with your own hands.

Why isn't the replacement of glass in a double-glazing at home? After all, remove the windshirt from the sash, cut the mastic around the damaged glass with a sharp knife, remove the fragments and clean the camera from dust and dirt is not difficult.

There are no difficulties and when cutting a new glass under the size of the distance frame. Indeed, there are no problems here. They lie in another plane: houses can not recreate the technological conditions of the glass unit assembly: dry, warm air, while without dust when sealing the entire design.

Conducting sealing outside the camera, it will not work:

• wash quality and dry the glass so that the smallest sutics do not hit him during drying;
• save in working condition Silica gel - his balls in a short period of time will have time to gain moisture from the air (in the air dry air chamber);
• apply a mastic with a uniform layer, as a result of the installation of the package in the sash, damage to the sealant is possible;
• tyokol is difficult to find on sale in compact packages - mainly in two-toll barrels.

In which cases is permissible to replace the glass alone

• The window has a stained glass window. Replace one sheet significantly cheaper replacing several expensive glasses;
• The frame is mounted three- or four-chamber package;
• In the sash from the street installed an expensive thick triplex, and the inner glass is broken.

In the cases, the cost of repair is cheaper the prices of the finished glass package.

Glass Replacement Instructions

For those who are friends with the tools, independent replacement of the glass package in the plastic window is not an infracted problem. The whole process consists of several consecutive operations:

1. a set of tools is prepared;
2. the glass package is performed;
3. an order is made;
4. dismantled damaged double-glazed windows;
5. new windows are put;
6. clevery adjustment.

Tools and materials

Replacing the broken glass package is carried out with a minimum of tools. Need:

• roulette;
• calipers;
• rubber hammer (kiyanka);
• spatula or simple screwdriver (you can use a large kitchen knife, but it is not entirely convenient);
• gloves;
• old sheet or a piece of other fabric, which is not sorry to throw.

Froze

To order the glass package, you must specify the number of aircases and glass dimensions: height, width and thickness. All this data can be found on the remote frame (see photo), where the package formula (number and thickness of each glass) and its size (height, length and thickness) are printed. If for any reason it was not possible to detect such an inscription, the packs can make the owner himself.

Important: The easiest option is to remove the glass and measure it. But with such an organization of work, the window will stand for several days without glasses - it takes time to make a new glass package. Therefore, measurements are made directly in the sash.

Roulette is taken for the ober and the distance between the sash profile with a broken glass is measured in the width and height of the window. In a number of publications, it is said that the distance between the external gabarites of the stapper is measured, which is the same. From the results obtained, 2 cm is 1.0 cm per side for an adjustment clearance.

An important parameter is the formula of the glass package, where the thickness of each glass is indicated and the distance between them inside the chamber (for example, 4 + 10 + 4 + 10 + 4, where 4 glass thickness in mm, 10 - the width of the frame in mm). These figures are mandatory in the passport of the window and are printed on the remote bar. If the passport is lost, and there is no inscription, you can spend an independent prominant. Roulette gives an error to 1 mm, the caliper measures with absolute accuracy. Order of work:

1. The thickness of the sash profile is measured (for example, 70 mm);
2. The stroke and rubber seal thickness is determined (located indoors). To do this, the end of the measuring tool rests in the glass and looks at what distance is the plane of the sash (approximately 14 mm);
3. A similar procedure is carried out by the street (20 mm).

Further submission of the second grade student: from 70 consistently take 14, and then 20. The resulting result of 36 mm will enable specialists to make a glassware formula and make a new glass.

Order

For the manufacture of double-glazed windows with angle of 90 o, it is enough in the application forms to specify the thickness of the package, its height and width, as well as the number of cameras. The manufacturer's specialists independently calculate the formula and it will make a new glass for the window. Everything is much more complicated if there are curvilinear forms or indirectal angles (glass in the form of a circle, triangle, rhombus, etc.). How to change the glass in this case?

Here, without disassembling damaged glass, you can not do (how to do it, just below). Removed glass stacked on Watman and is described, after which the shape of a damaged package is cut with scissors. Sometimes a razor blade pattern is cut out immediately. On the finished lecture, the new glass package will be made within a few days.

Dismantling

In the instructions for dismantling the broken glass, there is nothing complicated. The whole process consists of a number of consecutive operations:

1. On the floor in front of the window, old sheets or other tissue is spread, large in size per double-glazed.
2. The broken glass is neatly sampled in several directions of scotch, so that the fragments do not fall out in the process of removing the package and did not cause them to be surrounded by injuries.
3. Shippiks are filmed. For this, you need a sharp and hard tool, such as the chisel, a flat screwdriver or a spatula, as well as a mall (rubber hammer). It is necessary to start with longer staps, as a rule, side - it is easier to encourage when removing the sash grooves.

Attention: In almost all instructions for dismantling double-glazed windows, it is indicated that the disassembly of the sash must begin with the removal of side staps. However, in Framuget, they cannot be removed without damage. Therefore, we focus on the fact that longer staps are initially removed - in Framuget it is the top and bottom.

To remove the stroke, follows:

• In the gap between the sash profile and the stroke in the middle of the window insert a spatula (chisel or screwdriver);
• Holding a tool strictly horizontally, to hit it several times, not very much, in China, until the clearance is formed in 1-2 mm. Further, the technology of different specialists varies slightly; Some make such a gap almost all over the entire length, and then return to the middle, others, immediately tilting the tool down, knock the stroke completely from the grooves of the sash in its center;
• When the headquarters can be crapped with fingers, it stretches on himself and to the side - it will easily come out;

IMPORTANT: When removing the stroke with a pencil or marker, it is necessary to note the grooves on the sash so that in the future there is no problem to put a new glass package, especially when it changes its thickness (you have to buy new staps and trim them correctly).

• The upper latch is removed last - insures the glass from the random fall. Here you need an assistant supporting glass;
• The package is removed from the sash. If difficulties appear - the sealant of the package glued with the plastic window, the glass is pressed from the frame to the glass;
• The packet shot is placed on the cloth and is carefully broken;
• The broken glass in the sheet is thrown into the waste container.

Installing a new glass

Installing the new glass provides the following operations:

• The fastening of the seal from the outside of the window is checked;
• Richting plates are installed in the folds of the sash (they are also called gaskets): two below for a deaf window (see photo), four for opening sash. At the same time, they are installed on one on each side diagonally, at a distance of approximately 10 cm from the corner of the sash (see photo).

ATTENTION: The number of planks from different manufacturers may differ, so when dismantling the glass you need to remember the location of the gaskets.

For reference: Falz is a plane around the perimeter of the sash, which is mounted in the glass, which is clearly visible in the photo.

• The double-glazed glass is neatly placed on the gaskets. Here it is necessary to check its position several times, since it will not be possible to fix the geometry;
• Installed seal from the inside of the glass unit;
• The strokes return to their places in the reverse order: first the upper, then the lower and only then side. In the grooves, they are driven by a slight tapping of the rubber hammer from the edges to the center. Fixation is confirmed by clicks.

Adjustment

The new glass unit can have a different weight, which will require additional adjustment of the sash. For this, the "furniture key" adjust the adjusting screws on the loops, which can be read in detail in the material "how to adjust plastic windows".

Glass replacement nuances in a wooden frame

The wooden frame of euro windows is attached with a double-glazed window the same as in the plastic window - the strokes. However, there is a small difference: instead of the rubber seal, silicone sealant is used.

Therefore, to remove the glass from a wooden sash, first need to remove the strokes, and then remove the silicone mastic. Accordingly, when installing a new glass requires re-processing of a package connection of the package with sash silicone.

Glass replacement nuances in stained glass glazing

In stained glass windows there are several moments that do not allow to maintain independent repair and replacement of damaged glass:

• Much cheaper to replace the broken glass than to install a new package, and such works can only be performed by professionals in a specialized workshop;
• The glass is placed in special "stained glass cells", which are removed outside, and not insight, which requires autotower or planting forests;
• It is impossible to remove patterns in color scheme. It is necessary to deliver the whole glass into the workshop, where the necessary measurements will be carried out using instruments, on the basis of which glass is reproduced.

Is it possible to change

When replacing the damaged glass package, in many cases the ability to change the number of cameras in it appears.

Single-chamber double glazed glass on a two-chamber

Replacing the single-chamber glazing of the window to a two-chamber is possible when two conditions are observed:

1. The width of the fold of the flap allows you to install a two-chamber glass. Here are two options:

1. a pack of three glasses in width is the same as the single-chamber - no problems arise;
2. the new package is wider, but at the expense of a narrower staple (you have to buy new) it becomes in the sash.

2. The profile and accessories of the windows are withstanding the weight of a heavier sash (increases by about 30%). If it is necessary to enhance the reinforcing plate inside the profile, it is easier to change the entire window. If the problem is only in the hinges - they change.

Therefore, without consultation with a specialist, it is not recommended to conduct such a replacement.

Two-chamber double glass on three-chamber

Triple glass is installed instead of two-chamber under the same conditions that are given above. The only difference is a three-chamber package heavier than two-chamber by only 25%, which in many cases does not require increased frame profile.

Instructions for replacing glass in a double-glazing independently

For those who like to do everything on their own, we give the instructions, how to change the glass in the double-glazing at home.

To work will be required:

• glass;
• butyl tape;
• silicone-based sealant;
• chisel;
• rubber hammer;
• acetone (any other solvent);
• building pistol;
• diamond glass cutter.

The algorithm of work is as follows:

1. A glass unit is removed from the window block (as it is done, you can see above) and put on a flat surface with damaged glass up;
2. With the help of a chisel or knife from the package, broken glass is removed, after which the aluminum frame is cleared of sealant and garbage;
3. Purified places are degreased by a solvent;
4. Cut new glass;
5. The newly cut glass washes and dried with warm air. The same operation is carried out with the surface of the glass where degreasing was carried out;
6. A layer of sealant is applied to the pistol package frame, after which a new glass lies. You need to put it with a partner and immediately. It will be very difficult to correct;
7. Under the remote frame, the absorbent is poured;
8. Package sealing is carried out around the perimeter of glass;
9. After hardened the sealant, the glass pack is put in the sash.

Once again we emphasize: "Repair on the knee" does not give a long-term effect. The optimal option is to replace the glass package.

How much service in organizations

The final price for work is determined by many factors. Therefore, we present the averaged lower and upper limits of price lists of several companies in St. Petersburg and Moscow as of December 15, 2018:

• Replacing a two-chamber glass - 2 000-4 200 rubles / m 2 (delivery included);
• Glass repair - from 1 000 rub. / M 2 to 2,300 rubles / m 2 - Just work. There are no transportation costs and the cost of glass.

For reference: the cost of the new two-chamber glass begins from 1,300 rubles / m 2 in little-known firms. In recognizable brands, it starts from 2,050 rubles / m 2.

Conclusion

Window glass has property to break. It beats in the double-glazed windows. In this case, the most rational is considered:

• replacement not separate glass, and the glass package as a whole;
• conducting dismantling and installing a new package on their own - family finances will save.

Replacing broken glass at home. But such work gives the effect for a very short time - the houses can not recreate the conditions of the camera, which contains the stationery assembly.

To date, the design of plastic and aluminum double-glazed windows is considered quite complicated, and few will take on their own repair in case of damage to the glass. However, with the right approach, it is possible to do without the participation of specialists, which will save a considerable amount.

How plastic window is arranged - design features

We will not tell about the chambers of the frame itself, we are primarily interested in the glass package that is to be changed. This design is at the heart of a special frame from the profile, in which the molecular sieve is located, which does not allow moisture to penetrate the cavity between the glasses. This frame is most often made of aluminum or galvanized steel, it can sometimes be made of plastic. It is she who is a kind of gasket separating the glass package, the distance between which depends on the requirements for this design.

An independent replacement of a glass package in a plastic window is possible only if you know exactly the marking of the established initially. There is nothing complicated in digital designations, on the contrary, you can easily choose exactly the size that is necessary if you order an identical design. In the market you can find both single-chamber and two-chamber types, in the first case the package consists of two glasses, and in the second of three. For example, the brand 4-10-4-10-4 will mean a two-chamber model: two frames in 1 centimeter wide are separated from each other 3 glasses of 4 millimeters. Option 4-6-3-16-4 is a more complex, camera in this case of different widths, gaps between the glasses, respectively, 6 and 16 millimeters, and the average glass in the package is only 3 millimeters, and extreme - 4.

The least popular, but take place among the products of the manufacturers of double-glazed windows three-chamber models, the cost is highest, and the use is justified in the northern regions or windows on the northern side of the house.

Determine how many glasses you have, if you didn't understand when inspected, it's quite simple. Apply a burning candle and consider lights in reflection. 2 - in front of you a single-chamber model, 3 - two-chamber, 4 means chambers three and coming big replacement costs. Noteworthy manufacturing technology, more precisely, assembling packages. The cavities are usually filled with inert gases, for example, crypton or argon. More easily, in workshops without special complex equipment, the maximum dryness of air inside is simply provided. It is logical that the cameras are made extremely hermetic than the assembly resembles the manufacture of aquarium - glass is placed on the frame using a special adhesive sealant. It is for this reason that it is reasonable to change the whole glass glass when damaged glass.

We produce measurements of the plastic window - determine the size of the package

It would seem that there is no other option, except to remove the glass and, taking the usual measuring construction roulette, to obtain accurate height and width values. However, then you have to either disassemble the frame twice, or windows will be without glasses until you buy new ones. The easiest option is to measure the distance between the external edges of the stroke, which hold the glass. The secret is that the glass prisoners are a little less than holding their plastic planks, due to the existing adjustment clearance. Given the last factor, reducing the result obtained after measurements by 3, dropping 1.5 centimeters on each side.

The above method concerns the definition of dimensions both in width and height. As for the thickness of the package, we have already explained earlier how it can be found out by a simple translation of the marking numbers into dimensional values. We only note that when changing the glasses, you can take an absolutely identical option, but the thickness of the thickness as a whole. That is, if you have a single-chamber package with a large gap between the glasses, you can take a two-chamber, the sum of the marking numbers of which will correspond to the sum of similar values \u200b\u200bof the previous design. Thus, you significantly improve the indicators of the preservation of heat in the room by increasing the number of cameras at the same thickness of the package.

Dismantling - the correct sequence of actions

So, let's start directly to work on restoring the sash of your window in the same form. To do this, simply replace the glass in a damaged plastic window, which is even for those who have never come across such a task before. You will need a narrow tool, like a thin chisel, as well as a rubber hammer. To begin, it is necessary to remove the strokes, and you need to begin with lateral to avoid damage to the clamps.

With the edge of any, right or left staple, that is, at the highest or lower point. At the same time, we guide the sharpened edge from the frame. We apply a few weak blows with a rubber hammer over the chisel to formed a narrow slot, which will mean disconnecting the fastener. Be careful, there is a risk to break the hidden part of the fastener, part of the frame groove.

Now we develop the achieved success by turning the work part of the chisel to 180 degrees and supervisor its plane in the edge of the stroke. Click, and the gap begins to expand. We continue all the height of the frame, if necessary, applying any narrow plastic plates as wedges, where the glass lock has already deposited. In no case do not use strong naughty or shocks, so as not to break the plastic window, it is better to spend more time, but do without damage.

When both side staps are removed, disconnect the same path the lower and upper (only in such a sequence). At the same time, be sure to hold the glass so that it does not fall, because it will be no longer assigned when the latter holding his element will be removed. It is important to remember also that, removing the locks, should be noted where they were located to set it in the reverse order. It is also necessary to remember (and better mark), before removing the glass, where the struts are standing, corrective position in the frame.

Installation - how to replace the glass and collect the window

Finally, one- or two-chamber glass design is removed and put aside (entirely or fragments, depending on the degree of damage). At the same time, try not to break it, it should be extremely careful. Next, gently place the glass in the plastic window and independently adjust the gaps, exposing the struts on the same points where they stood before. Check that the seals are also on the ground.

Return the headquarters to the window frames designed for them. Just now it is important to remember, in what order you have learned them and which - from where. Krepim is exactly in reverse order. So that the retainers are easier to enter into the grooves, tapping along the outer edge of each rubber hammer, and the blows should not be strong - you work with fragile plastic. When you hear a click - this will mean that the stroke took the place relying on him. It remains only with the help of a special bolt and a hexagon angular screwdriver if it is impaired.

Replacement of separate glass at home - how to do it

Yes, if you know how to disassemble the glass, you can only change its damaged part, but it will not be more complicated as an example. The fact is that the replacement of glass in the plastic window is performed in the room with a minimum amount of moisture in the air, or under the jet of the heat gun. Otherwise, wet air, hitting the inside the chamber, when the temperature changes, will turn into, and it will fall directly in the cavity.

If you are determined, put a package on a flat surface and cut the intermediate frame under damaged glass using a building knife.

Gently detect the place of its fixation from the residues of glue-sealant and on double-sided adhesion, without gaps (the latter are flashed with silicone), we glue the new frame from aluminum, filling it with granules absorbing moisture. Next, on the same silicone, we plant a new glass, carved precisely in the size of the package.

The need to replace the glass package in PVC windows may occur not only when glass damage. Plastic windows over time can be very losing in operational indicators. Do not rush to change the whole window. To replace the glass with your own hands is easy, and our tips will help you do it.

RESATES FOR REPLACEMENT OF GLASS

In addition to the damage to the glass package, there are a number of common cases when you may need to replace. The first of these is the installation of PVC windows with one glass for the primary glazing of the construction object. Sometimes it is possible to replace obsolete packages to more modern, if the characteristics of the profile itself are satisfactory. For example, an elevated noise level can be served for replacement. Also, you may have a desire to replace old double-glazed windows on energy efficient with K-glass or and-glass.

In some cases, double-glazed windows failure without visible signs of destruction. For example, if the camera, loaded with argon, lost hermetics, most likely condensate begins to form on the glass. The same symptom has air chambers in which the metal frame is damaged, in this case the silica gel will begin to dissolve and leak into the profile of a yellowish resin.

How to choose a glass window for replacement, sizes matching

Before drawing up an order for a new glass, you need to clarify the size of the old one. You can do this, not even disassembled the window, it is enough to measure the distance between the outer joints of the stroke and take away from the value of 15 mm. Typically, double-glazed manufacturers make their size to multiple multiple centimeters, so you are unlikely to be wrong.

Length and width is not the only indicator. When the thickness of the glass bottle is incomprehensible, you will, at best, will be forced to purchase a suitable stapper, and at worst - a suitable PVC profile. The easiest way to clarify the thickness of the glass package in the passport on the window or on the sticker, if you probably took it gently. In another case, invite a familiar PVC specialist to the windows, it will immediately determine the type of camera and the standard thickness for it.

Double-glazed windows of irregular shape require template removal. In this case, you will have to extract the double-glazed glass from the frame, put it on the Watman Sheet and circle with a sharp blade, repeating the form. However, an experienced measureer will always help you in determining exact sizes and patterns.

In some cases, when only one of the glasses is damaged, it makes sense to repair, sending a glass to the windows manufacturer factory. This is especially rational in the case of expensive double-glazed windows. Repair is performed for a period of three days to two weeks, at this time you can install single glass in the frame or tighten with the opening of the polyethylene film.

Get a profile from the opening or not

For easy replacement, the glass package does not require a complete dismantling, on the contrary, it is more convenient to carry out the work on the installed window. But there are exceptions.

The case, as they say, out of a row, but a broken double-glazed car may not be the hands of hooligans. In case of non-compliance with the installation technology, the use of poor-quality PVC profile or inconsistency of sizes, the glass windows can simply crush inside the frame. In this case, the trouble may repeat even after installing a new glass package.

You can independently identify the problem, examining the internal cavity and False PVC profile. If the longitudinal rigs of stiffness are bend, or glued junctions were separated, the window needs to be repaired or change. If you doubt - invite the installation wizard, it will give further recommendations.

How to rip the stroke

To disrupt the stroke, you need to insert a chisel into the gap between it and the frame, directing the sposue of the blade towards the glass. Keep the chisel to strictly perpendicularly and apply a few unscrewed blows by Cyanka until the stroke will be 2-3 mm. Then a little tilt the chisel to out and expand the slot of the shock. Filize the stroke until it completely leaves the groove.

Start dismantling with the removal of longer staps: they are the most flexible and easier to come out of the grooves. Under them, ranging from the center, and gradually move to the edge. When you can grab the edge of the head of your hand, just pull it on yourself and to the side, it is easy to remove.

Top Staff remove the last place so that the double-glazed windows do not fall out of the opening. It is optimally used to work exactly sharpened chisels with a slightly dull edge of the blade. Also do not suck acquainting a hammer with plastic or rubber knobs.

The process of replacing the glass package in the deaf and opening flaps

If the double-glazed glass is broken, it may crush when removing. So that this does not happen, take the surface of the outer glasses by the scotch strips first around the perimeter, and then the cross will.

Usually, the glass pack is freely mounted inside the frame and falls in itself after removing the upper staple. If it is pressed - pull for one of the plastic pads, or picker the glass edge with a knife.

Carefully get a glass unit from the opening, if it is too heavy - call the helper. Clean the fold and the profile cavity from glass and dust fragments. When working, be sure to use gloves with rubberized grip. We also recommend not neglecting protective glasses.

Insert a new glass with the bottom side, then lift it vertically. In the deaf openings it is necessary to put between the double-glazing and the lower fold two digging plates from plastic. If you wish, you can fix the double glazing in the opening two more, installed on top.

When installed in the open sash between the double-glazing and profile, four plates are laid on the diagonal: 10 cm from opposite angles. The sash must be installed on the ventilation and align the double-glazed windows horizontally, evenly decompose under the lower end, the remaining remote slats.

Some double-glazed windows inherit the principle of sealing from wooden Eurocon. But there is difference: instead of filling the silicone seal between the framework of the glass pack and the folding profile, the silicone tape of different thicknesses is invested. The installation process is hampered as you need to first measure the clearance thickness and select the desired strip thickness. Specialists always have a stock of ribbons of different sizes and carry out installation in one day.

When installing the glass package on the tape, it must be solid throughout the perimeter. Therefore, to start a ribbon, the double-glazed windows are as close as possible and cut it under an acute angle, leaving the gap of 3-4 mm. The tape is inserted into the lower cavity of the profile and put on it a glass. Raising it vertically, the tape is filled with a stupid smooth plate.

Reverse Installation of the Strapikov

Start mounting the stroke back the process of their removal, that is, starting with the shortest. Position the Strapik approximately in the middle of the opening and hammer it in the groove, moving from one edge to another.

When installing long staps, first score them into an angle, shifting the already installed bar for the desired distance. Then start the stroke into the bottom angle so that it is in the opening. Do not lack the first head completely until install the second. With such a request, the installation of the stroke is well pressed at the joints and do not form clearances - cold bridges. So as not to break the glass, use the hammer with rubber plates.

Each window is special, its sizes and forms correspond to this specific impact, therefore, first of all, it is necessary to perform measurements. There are two ways here:

1. You can use the old double-glazed window, the measurements of which will be based on the basis of the new and shipped by the manufacturer in this form.
2. If there is no such possibility due to the fact that the glass is broken, then in this case, three main indicators can be measured: the length, width, the thickness of the plastic window, where the old glass was located. After that, you can pass the desired size to a special organization that is engaged in the manufacture of this product, and after some time pick up the finished product.

Now you can directly go to the installation, we strongly recommend that you appeal to help video, which describes in detail the entire process of replacing the glass package in plastic windows with your own hands. So you will not allow mistakes and do everything as correct as possible.

Step-by-step glass replacement instructions

1. First of all, you should disconnect the double-glazed windows from the window frame, it is possible to do this using a conventional shoe knife or a chisel. By skipping the sharp edge between the stroke and the frame, you need to catch a little rubber hammer. It is necessary to move successively, from the middle to the sides, upering each part very carefully, so as not to damage the appearance of the base.

2. Disconnect the long, and then short strokes, it turns out that we will remove them in such a sequence: right, left, upper, lower.

3. It is necessary that someone will help you because it is uncomfortable to remove the glass. In general, for such work, special suckers are used, which are well held fibergally.

4. After you removed the glass, you can go to the installation of a new item. So that the glass fell correctly and as soon as possible, you need to use special gaskets, they are called bridges. They are the means of fixing double-glazed windows inside the plastic window.
