Changing glass on uPVC windows and correct packing, how to change glass real time instruction 

Proper trades person , who cares about doing the job properly. Brilliant.

Followed this guide and worked perfectly. Saved me over £100 for a single window!

Great tutorial! Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge and expertise!

i have exactly the same problem, and i was searching solutions for it, thanks for this amazing video it definitely helps me to change my glass

It all makes sense now. This is a great and easy tutorial, thanks for that. I'm going to try this myself so wish me luck 😂

Excellent Video - Just fitting several windows and suffered a blown glass, keep up these simple to follow video's, as I hate the American one's as they talk to much (less is always more)

This is a great video on how to do this type of work, I feel confidence in your tutorial. You sure make it look so easy and I like your honest and friendly bit at the end by offering to fix the other window free. Thankyou for taking the time to show us all. 🙏

Informative video! I replaced the gasket seals when putting my new glazing units in. Changed from flipper profile gasket to bubble type. None of the glazing I took out had been toe and healed properly. The frames I have, the glazing recess has a 4mm deep channel on the outer side so needs 4mm packers in the channel for the 5mm packers to sit squarely on. The packers should be the same depth as the glazing unit, in my case 28mm. For anyone wanting an explanation of toe and healing glazing units, type 'toe and healed glazing' into google.

Brilliant video. Thanks so much. I've got a misted pane and had some ridiculous quotes to have it replaced. I'm going to remove the beads and measure the existing pane and get a replacement cut and then hopefully fit it myself ensuring it's packed properly as you showed. Thanks again

I fixed my window witch was moved on one side and exposing my conservatory to the wind . Thank you for your video 👍😁🙏

Thank you. Having watched numerous videos before I start tackling this job myself, yours is definitely the best one I have seen. I particularly learned something new in relation to the use of packers. I now feel confident in doing it myself.

Thanks very much, best video of how to change double-glazed windows in UPVC frames and where to place the spacers. My window was about 1mm wider than the previous one, so was a very tight fit, had to use a small block of wood and bash the beading in with a mallet (you have to place the block along the narrow inside edge of the beading and hit it straight inwards to get it to clip in, just be careful not to hit the glass).

The detail in this video, absolutely brilliant. Thank you for sharing. Liked and subscribed

Fixed my sagged opener which was binding and hardly closing. The packers were on the incorrect corners, I just swapped them over a d job done. Thank you!

Best and easiest way to replace glass ...thank you

Very helpful. Clear and concise instructions ❤

"Glass does not like hammers." Excellent! Thank you.

Thank you very much for your excellent work in your great video,you are a credit to your trade 😁

Very informative, thank you 😀

Great video and great job. Thanks for sharing

Top class, many thanks for this.

Good video. I didn't know about the glaze sitting on the base and using the packers like that. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏽

Great advice for a novice like me😁👍

Brilliantly explained

Really great video. Thanks for your help

Great tutorial and you clearly know what you’re doing which is why I was shocked to see you use a hammer. Surely you have a nylon mallet? 😳

How do you pack a window that opens out from the bottom? Great video, well done.

Why is there always someone on site using an SDS to chase out something? It’s the worst noise 😂 Thanks for the video though anyway!

Great video, Thank you 🙏

Great video. Thanks for sharing 👍👍

Excellent. Loads of thanks, i will definitely try this. Can i ask: how do you know which packers you need + where can i get them from? Also, do i need to put sealant on the insides of the beads (either the external ones, internal ones, or both) to stop cold air + water getting in? Or do i not need to add sealant at all?

What a brilliant straightforward video, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge! we’re starting the replacement of 18 panes tomorrow & I now feel confident we can manage it. We’ve been told we should drill drain holes in the frame once the glass is removed but I’m wondering if this is true now I’ve watched this, can I ask your opinion please & also will do we re-use existing packers or replace? Tia.

Great video, my bead is on the outside - but at least its ground floor! You dont mention the rubber gasket seal that is around the window, whould we just try and replace with the same type?

BrillInt video thank you! Needed this info so I can take a window out to fit a sofa in the house. Am I right in saying the glass shouldn’t fall backwards because of the beading on the outside?

Excellent video thanks

Thank you, very helpful video. I removed the bead and packers and the unit still seems stuck. Is it possible it's been glued in somehow please?

Great video thank you.

Does every glass can be changed from inside or are there some of them that you have to do from outside? How do you know? Great video

Thanks handy tips #To the point!

yeah...but where to get reasonably priced replacement panels?

Can't you just clean the window you take out and re-fit it. I have several like this and was thinking of trying that but is there are reason it won't work? Appreciate the posting thank you.

I don’t have glass in a window I’ve been given for my shed, need to measure the opening for a new glass. How much clearance should I allow between glass and frame ?

Hi...how would you pack a fixed pane that's not in an opening sash ? Size of glass unit is approximately: 1300mm width x 745mm height. Thankyou kindly in advance, appreciated 😊👍

So where did the blue packer come from when you removed the glass unit

Baie dankie!

I need you in my life lol. What happens if the beading is outside grrrrr

where can i buy glass for my windows as i need to replace on three windows and all are different sizes

Yea wish they all came out that easy

I need to replace JELD-WEN, kitchen window, right over our kitchen sink, but not sure if it is the same design.

sorry but your lucky you didnt crack the unit, it is vital the packers are the correct width for the unit ,they have to support both inside and outside pains of glass, if you only support the outside pain you run the risk of whats called lipping the unit and causing it to crack. the way you positioned the packers would cause lipping.

Now I know how to mine , thanks very much 👍

And where does one but such replacement glass. I dont see avaliable in Wicks or B&Q, Is it not made to measure and so any saving is lost on that process?

Thanks. What if the window is hinged at the top?

Do you not use any sealant? Today there seems to be a growing concern about cold leaks

Toe and heel a window only if the window has been fitted out of square.

Can i replace the glass with the one which was there or need new glass?

3:09 what are does blue things called?

Those beads came out so easy!😂 How come all the ones I do are tight as tight can be?

What if you can't get the fking beading to shift, mine just will not budge??

Blue +red packer = 11mm

Use the plastic hammer

It looks like the installer knew what they were doing wrong when putting the blue packers at the top. Maybe on site they put the windows in upside down... or they did it on purpose to ensure the customer returns... Eitherway, rubbish job and the client is lucky you worked it out.

👋

This is a terrible video! You can't see half of what you're doing since you're holding the camera in one hand, and then you shut it off when you replace the actual glass? What's the point?
