To ensure that the new window will fit to the opening, measure it and subtract 1/8" from the width and the length. It is also an excellent idea to bring an old shard of pane to the local hardware store so that you can match the type and thickness of glass.

Window panes aren't only there to look pretty - they can actually help make your home more efficient in terms of energy efficiency by cutting down on heat loss, glare, and noise. It's good to know that replacing just one window pane is a easy task you can tackle yourself.

These nails are usually in the corners and can be removed using a screwdriver or by using a hacksaw if they are visible. If they are hidden, you will need to use either a small chisel (or putty chisel) to remove the frame.

Mineral spirits will be needed to remove any old putty left after removal of the nail. The product is available at many hardware stores. It should be used in a space that is well ventilated. It is recommended to apply the oil in short bursts to avoid over heating the wood and paint as this can cause it to crack or explode.

A heat gun can also be used to soften the putty. This method is more effective on putty which has been painted or hardened. Be sure to move when using a heating gun. If you keep it in the same place for too long, the wood can be burned and the glass cracked.

You can also use a steel wool to take off the putty, however this method isn't as effective and can be very messy. This method should only be used in a last-resort and is not recommended in homes with children.

Remove the Glazing Points of Metal

The first step in replacing a window is to remove the glazing points which hold the old pane in place. Scrape off as much of the softened glass as possible with a putty blade to reveal the points. There should be at minimum four of them, evenly spaced on either side of the frame. When you can see the metal, grab each using needle-nosed pliers and pull straight out. Be careful not to pull too hard. If the point is stubborn or breaks, you could end up damaging the frame and will need to replace it.

After the putty and the metal glazing points have been removed, you can begin to prepare the frame for the new glass. Make sure the grooves are free of cracks and dents. A heat gun can be useful in this process, but remember to be careful and utilize a low temperature to prevent the wood from shrinking or deteriorating.

If the glass is double-paned, you can bring a small piece of the old pane to ensure that the new one is positioned correctly. Spread a thin layer silicone sealant on the inside surface of the frame rabbet, and then press the new glass onto it. Remove any excess sealant using a razor blade, and then paint the exterior to finish.

If you only have one pane of glass to be installed, skip this step and go straight to the next. If the new glass is different thickness than the original, you can purchase the appropriate size piece of glass from your local glass cutter. Install a glazier's push point at each corner of the frame's rabbet, prior to installing the new pane (two per side for windows with small windows, and more for larger windows). This will give the pane extra support and will prevent it from being dislodged.
