How do you replace the glazing in a single hung window? In this episode Jordan walks you through the process of replacing a broken window pane step by step.
Replacing a non-operable window pane can be slightly more complicated than in a window where the sash can be removed because you have to work on both sides of the wall, instead of simply removing the sash and working on a work bench.
However, it is steill a pretty simple straightforward task and can be accomplished in less than a hour if you have the right tools and know what to expect.
