Can you or anyone recommend a company that can remove the gas/water vapor that inevitably build up inside double-pane windows. This service would be so much easier than repalcing the dual-pane glass. Thanks!
James, there is a company in Nashville, Tennessee called crystal clear window works. They sell franchises to glass and window companies that want to do IG Fog repair. If you can contact them, they would be able to tell you if there is a company in your area that does that kind of work. I don't have an address or phone number though. This process has only been around since 2003, and only in the U.S since last year, so it's really new.CCWW in Nashville is not answering their phone numbers that are on the CCWW Int'l website. Limited dealerships still listing, there as well.
i recently broke a double pane window ,i only broke thru the out side glass is their any way of replacing the one piece of glass or am i going to have to replace the whole window the house is one of my customers it is probably 5 yrs old probably vinyl framed
I want to remove an unbroken igu from a vinyl window to put in an old front door. I have the width of a ledge in the door that I need to fit the window and replace the stops. So, my questions are:1) how do I get the glass out without breaking it? I don't care if I destroy the vinyl frame... but I don't want to break the igu. and 2), can I just use glaziers compound and install it, basically the same way as a single pane.
Marco Facing a problem with broken window glass (dual pane-vinyl frame) was a long story and a challenge, however reading this article gave a much better idea of what do I need to do, name of tools to be used, etc. For this first time I won't be able to do it myself, but if next time I have a problem like this I will tray do my best.
John, Where is the best place for me to purchase dual pain window glass for my house. I have about 15 windows I would like to replace and I live in florida, Thanks Mike S
Mike, a local glass shop can make the I.G. Units for you. You will need to take the measurements, then call them for pricing.
Yes it was very helpful. However, I am about to make dual pane out of single pane. I am thinking of 1. Turning my AC on before sealing to lower household humidity, or 2. wait until winter when the air is dry here in Florida. Bobby D
Great article, just what I was looking for.
My double pain windows have the newer white cross patern in them and I am wondering if you can remove it.If you plan on having a glass shop provide a replacement IGU, It will come with new grids between the glass panes. If you are going to try and just remove the grids from between the glass, you have to take off one of the glass panes, remove the grids, then install the glass pane. Chances are the pane that you remove will break, and you will need to get a new piece of glass.
