What is a direct glazing window?

A direct glazing window is just the transfer of the widely used direct glazing technology of windshields in cars into the window manufacturing process. The glass becomes an integral part of the window thus increasing the stability and stiffness of the whole window. It was first realized by the adhesive company Sika AG. It enables better frame stability, better burglar resistance, smaller frames and better thermal insulation properties. In addition the glazing of the window can be automated.


What is double glazing and when it is used?

Double glazing is where two sheets of glass are placed together in a frame with a vacuum between the panes. The vacuum prevents cold entering from the outside and warmth existing from the inside. Therefore it is normally used for external windows and doors. Note. It also acts a noise reducer and some houses near airports and their flight paths even have triple or quadruple glazing to reduce aircraft noise.

Is there a way to replace only the glass in an aluminum window?

Yes, it is a relatively easy task to replace the glass in aluminum windows. You basically do it the same way you would when replacing a wood window. First remove the glazing strips. Remove the glass and the glazing tips. Glazing tips are on the inside of the frame and look like trim. You may need a screwdriver of chisel to remove the glazing trim or tips. Then apply glazing compound on the frame. Press your window in to place. Replace the glazing tips. Use a caulking gun to apply glazing compound which will hold the window into place.

Repair double glazing window lock?

I suggest you contact a local repairer, in Thomson or Yell.com etc. look under heading "Double Glazing Repairs". or if you can remove it from the window, and identify if its an espagnolette type (when you turn the handle it moves several locking cams) or a cockspur handle, which just catches on to the frame. Once you have identified it your half way their, look for any marking or Logo's etc, do a search on the net thru catologues etc.

How do you stop wind noise in double glazed window?

It would appear that the rubber seals around the window frame are not making full contact with the sash frame. Contact your local double glazing company and request the cost of new rubber seals - they do range in type and shape so you may have to remove a small sample and use this for identification. They are easy to replace where you can just push the gasket back in to a pre-cut housing.


How can you remove a pane of double glazing?

You need to determine whether the panel is inserted from inside or outside the house. The frame holding it in has tiny gaps at the corners between framing pieces. Use a thin knife blade tol ever out the plastic frame holding the pane in place. They are clipped in using pressure and a rubber hammer. Start at the longest side in the middle and push knife blade inro the line between the inner frame and outer frame approx 10mm from glass. lever towards the glass and it should pop out progressively. Assembly is reverse of removal. Note positions of framing pieces as you remove them,there may be adifference. Double glazed panel should be able to be pushed out from other side of window but it may be retained by a silicone gasket.

How do you re-glaze old windows?

Found this at another site: * First, using a putty knife, dig out the old glazing and scrape it away. * Roll out the glazing putty into strips between your hands to soften it. * Press the glazing putty all the way around the frame of the glass. * Finally, smooth out the glazing compound with a putty knife and remove the excess.
