Fit a Glass Pane

Confirm that the size of the replacement glass pane is correct. Any measurements should be taken from each edge of the frame. Make sure the width is correct. When there is more than one then sketch the window with all the relevant dimensions. Your local glass merchant will advise on sizes and thickness. London Glazing is expert with all types of glass fits.

Prize the old beading material from the window. With the scraper, remove the fixing compound from the frame. If made of wood, then you will have to nail the beading with the nail punch after the glass is fitted. Leave the top part until the end so you can support the glass. Cut away putty if it is a wooden frame. Lay the beading out in the shape that it came out for replacing later. London Glaziers are qualified tradesmen. Offer up the glass pane to the frame to see if it fits correclty, try not to put any force on the glass. Once you are happy that it is done correctly you can now go ahead and fit the pane properly. If the glass is double-glazed then it will have two pieces of sealed glass with an air gap in between to protect against moisture ingress or condensation forming.

Put the whole pane into the frame, and check for markings that tell the correct orientation. Place the spacers around. Refit the beading pieces and snap them in place. Make sure they go back in their original position. Check that the glass is square and tight. Check all around the window frame for squareness and clean away any putty etc.
