Window Repair: How it's Done

It's frustrating when you locate a cracked window, a sliding window that is stuck, or a window that is rattling. Even though window repair can be tricky, this video will show you how to accomplish it efficiently. You can temporarily repair a window crack with masking or duct tape, which will also prevent it from growing larger.

Put a strip of tape on either side of the windowpane and press firmly to secure the tape in place. Solvent-based glass adhesives or two-part epoxy resin are potentially viable alternatives. To fix a sliding window that is difficult to move, you will need to take out the sash, clean the track, take out the bottom roller, and replace the roller unit. If you have a rattling window, you should remove any old insulation and wipe the surface off with a rag soaked in solvent. If you want a good seal, choose insulation slightly thicker than average. After replacing the cover and reinstalling the sash, test to see if it slides with ease. Some window repair issues are less complicated, but if you need a new pane of glass installed, it's better to call in professionals.
