When repairing ancient doors and windows, we are always hindered by something: it is impossible to find a suitable glass, there are no wooden pegs. However, it is not difficult to install the glass in a wooden frame. Therefore, do not get upset, because you can install a new glass with your own hands. Completely mastering the process of installing glasses, in the future it will be possible to take care of large-scale glazing.

Petrovich and the broken glass
From the broken glass, the dampness and smell of cutlets, which the neighbors roasted from above, were drawn from above. Petrovich stood by the window and looked dejectedly at the cracks. "Eck, he managed to manage it!" - Petrovich reflected with sympathy and mentally turned on the invisible calculator, counting the cost of the part to insert the new window glass into the frame.
The resulting amount of installation was struck by an abundance of numbers. "I'll do it myself, with my own hands," thought Petrovich and set to work. "Glazing is a window installation. The goal of glazing is a comfortable organization of space, "Petrovich read in the battered" Do it yourself "directory. Well, we will follow Petrovich's example and try to make glazed wooden frames.
Basic stages of glazing
The main stages of glazing of wooden frames are:
• preparation of the frame and removal of the old glass
• installation of new glass
• finishing the window frame.
Petrovich in life was a practitioner, so he missed two pages of text from the directory without looking.
"In order to install the glass it is necessary to prepare the frame" - Petrovich slowly began to remove the window frame with broken glass from the hinges. The old wooden frame, swollen with moisture, gave in with difficulty, so Petrovich armed himself with a "crowbar."
Squeaking from the unexpected hard touch of the "Fomka", the window frame suddenly withdrew from its hinges. Putting the frame on the floor, Petrovich began to carefully take out and gently knock out the remains of the glass, in order to insert a new glass into the frame.
Types of glazing
By the way, while Petrovich takes out the remains of the glass, we recall that there are two main types of glazing:
• "warm"
• "cold".
"Warm" type of glazing involves the installation of PVC profiles. "Warm" design ideally provides thermal insulation of the room due to complex insulation. The only condition for this type of glazing is the presence of supports and a reliable parapet for installation.
Therefore, this kind of glazing is used exclusively for insulation and glazing of loggias and balconies. This type of glazing for old houses is completely inappropriate because of the inexpediency and expense side.
The "cold" type of glazing is based on the installation of aluminum window profiles. Regardless of the architectural features of the building or structure, the installation of "cold" glazing is possible almost everywhere. However, the "cold" glazing will protect the balcony or loggia only from wind and rain, guaranteeing a temperature increase of only 5 degrees.
"We'll have to insert a new glass into the old wooden frame," thought Petrovich and headed to the building supermarket for the necessary materials.
Preparation of a wooden frame for glazing
In a noisy and crowded building supermarket, where Petrovich came, TV showed a movie on how to insert the glass correctly.
"Yeah, people live," thought Petrovich irritably and vexedly, scrolling through the mentally-seen movie and picking up the glazing beads, as well as small nails for fastening.
Recall that in the process of glazing of wooden windows, special importance is given to the preparation of frames. Preliminary preparation of frames does not depend on the "age" of the wooden frame and the fact of its long use. Before starting to insert the glass into the wooden frame, it is necessary to clean the folds. Faltz is a side inner part of the leaf and frame, beveled shape. If the folds are not suitable for use, they must be replaced or strengthened with mastic.
Folds are cleaned from the old paint using sandpaper and then treated with drying oil for 2 times. After preparing the surface of the folds, they should dry for two days, and then you can begin to install the glass.
How to prepare glass for installation
For installation in a wooden glass frame, in most cases, its high-quality cutting and edge processing is required. Therefore, first take off the dimensions of the glass, which must be produced by the internal arrangement of the folds. From the received size subtract 3 mm. This will be a technological reserve for the case of glass expansion.
By the way, you can use the old technique: when installing the glass, put ordinary matches between the glass and the seam. It is the thickness of the match that will create the necessary gap size. Naturally, after installing the glass match it is recommended to remove.
Order the cutting of the glass according to the dimensions obtained in a workshop that produces furniture or windows. Measure and count the number of glazing beads to fix the new glass. Stapiks are used to fasten the glass in a wooden frame.
Window glazing beans are molded products made of wood or plastic. The window beads have a characteristic configuration - the two sides of the fastening element form a right angle, thanks to which the glass is securely held in a wooden frame.
Fill in the prepared glazing beads thin carnations at a distance of 7 cm.
Fastening of glass in a wooden frame is carried out as follows:
• Cut the beads to the size
• we put on the perimeter of the rebate layer of sealant
• apply the glass cut beforehand
• we press the glass beads to the glass sufficiently tightly
• nail the beads with small carnations
• If necessary, we make external painting.
The final stage of installation and replacement of broken glass in a wooden frame will be painting the wooden frame with oil paint or enamel.
To replace the glass in the PVC window, it is necessary to contact specialized workshops, because the technology of replacing glass in frames of this type differs from the replacement in wooden frames. So Petrovich will not let me lie.
