Several years ago I broke one pane of our Anderson double pane window in the garage. I decided to replace it but found out that the two panes are actually one piece of glass- its moulded into one piece. The cost from Anderson was about the same as the complete window and a glass guy I talked to could make one (taking two panes and making the window) but since it was in the unheated garage I decided to remove the remaining glass and install a single pane of glass. If this were to happen with a window in the house I would just go ahead and replace the whole sash.
What else can I help you with?
This window is double paned. Only the inside part got cracked and broken. Would I have to replace the whole window or can one pane be fixed?
Most newer double paned windows are air tight and sealed, and once that seal is broken humidity and moisture can build up between the glass. It is important fix the broken seal or have the whole window replaced.

How would I go about soundproofing a window?
Replace the window with a vinyl framed "double/triple paned" glass window, available from your local hardware store. Add another window on the inside frame of your existing window. Place a sound barrier in the window frame, blocking the sound (and the light). Use acoustical drapes tove "snap-in" w block sound as they do in Hotels/Motels.
