We have just replaced a sealed unit that had 'blown' following your fantastic instructions, removed the unit, took it to our local glass replacement showrooms picked up it's replacement the following day, cost £15.00, and fitted it this morning. My husband is a very reluctant DIY person and it went perfectly, many thanks.
Few tips that have been missed out. Before removing pane soak up the glass with soapy water to allow the beads to slip out easier. Remove top bead last , stops glass falling out. Make sure the sticker on the new glass faces inside the house. Soap up new pane before installing the beads. If you don't have plastic hammer , use a normal hammer and a bit out timber to tap beads back in
Thanks. Exactly what I was looking for. I've watched a professional changing the glass in two windows in my conservatory but wanted to check a video to make sure I had seen the correct procedure. I have a fairly large second hand window to install but need to remove the glass in order to fix the frame. Your video confirmed the procedure. General comment to other people with window problems - if you live in an affluent area, get a small firm from a less affluent area to quote to fix your windows - you will find that it is surprisingly cheap in comparison to a major company from a richer area.
Thanks. Helped me get going with more confidence that my intuition was correct. Mine was more difficult to prise away. I needed to remove rubber seal to loosen the plastic beading more. I hate plastic windows with a vengeance. I now have to make a wooden one to fill the gap!
Would it perhaps been a little safer to take out the top bead strip out last ? That way there is no chance of it falling forward if loose in the frame? Just a suggestion but otherwise a great video.
One of my window panels cracked on just the inside panel last night. I thought a bird had flown into the window or someone threw something at it, until I checked it in the morning and saw the outside one was fine. This was at 9:30 at night. Just wondering why a panel would just crack like that on the inside one and not the outside? Cracked all the way from almost corner to corner. Glad to see from your video that it will be easy for them to replace for me. Thanks.
Great video! I recently replaced all my window in my flat. All of them are are good except my bedroom window which get condensation on the inside when it’s cold outside. Is there anything I can do like put anything in the gaps between the window and frame when you remove the 4 strips?
Shouldn't you have put in some spacers to tension the glass within the panel, so it does not distort under the weight of the glass and become difficult to open and close. Also I find it easier to start pushing the bead out form the middle section since the ends are engaged with the bevel of the adjacent bead. The beads are sufficiently bendy that this works well.
At last, a vlog by someone whose Qualified and FENSA registered, Too many cowboys on here and out there, be careful when getting windows fitted, that company is FENSA registered👍
It has thank you, we have bought a secondhand conservatory and hoping to take it down tomorrow any tips please even just general ones to make life a little easier
Pam Mann deglaze all fixed glass panels to gain access to all fixings to aluminium ring beam and cills open all opening sash windows and check for fixings deglaze all roof panels which may have double sided sticky tape along the bottom edge this may need cutting carefully with a Stanley knife i would advise labels to be put on all parts to make it easier to re assemble good look Shane
Hi. Great video. Sorry if someone already asked this. I want to replace a double glazing and install acoustic glazing of same overall thickness. I have a double casement wooden window. do you advise to use any sealant? Do you suggest to install window packers at the bottom? When i open the beading, i will use the existing glazes as a basis for the measurements. Anything you advise in particular? Many thanks
I'm curious to find out how the frame is secured in place, I'm currently moving house at the moment and the window frame in the new house needs to be removed to get the couch in, I assume the fixings are hidden beneath the glass.... But I'm not sure.
Great video but having removed the plastic trim I could not get the glass out it on looked like it had mastic or glue holding the glass in place can you or anyone help in advising getting glass out
Looks easy on a demo window with no caulking or glazing to hold the glass pack in place. Doesn't work that way on a normal window unless you have a deglazing tool and still doesn't come out like that
Thanks for the video mate. What is that you are using to get in-between the beading and the frame? I bought a chisel knife as a pallet knife was too flexible. But only managed to get one strip of. Is a chisel knife ok? It's rigid and very thin but has a slightly chiseled edge / tip. I didn't try hitting the end with my hand so will give that a go maybe I am just being a bit too careful. Can the beading be reused? I only need to deglaze a window to install it in a shed and then replace the same glass immediately afterwards.
This looks so easy for a burglar to break in to someone's house. I was watching a neighbour's house getting their windows changed and seen the installer take the glass out under 5 minutes. So a burglar can do the same, I don't think these windows are secure.
@Jon M good luck taking the glass out with externally beaded windows theres either double sided tape or gasket keeping the bead in place , access inside when taking glass out is key.i have never come across a external bead which simply pops out.While there not 100% secure the key reason to making internally glazed windows is practicality not having to climb a ladder to glaze 2nd 3rd floor windows.Salesman jumped on the scare monger bandwagon
How can I tell if my double pane window has a sealant holding the window pane in or if it is loose like the one you removed? Mine is the upper glass in a single hung window. Thanks
If it's in upvc it's normally beading with no sealant but it varies sometimes it as a wedge gasket that as to be removed before the beading or double sided security tape which as to be cut to release the glass but this is usually older systems over 10 years
Hi again Shane we managed to get most of the conservatory today, going back tomorrow morning so hoping I might just catch you as we need help. We have 4 side frames left but they are too big and cant seem to find out ow to dismantle them. In the corners of frames underneath the edging it has 4 small blocks that are flush with the frame. Probably not explaining very well but these blocks have a pair on each edge of the rectangular framework when its tilted on its side can we see how to take them apart any idea from my description what they do ?
Hi again we managed to take it down in one piece well the 4 sides so we didnt need to cut them thank goodness all ok the trailer was just big enough to lay the 4 panels on top of each other and drive back from Nottingham so thanks again for the brilliant advice which we followed and labelled them all,.... all the very best x thanks again
+Shane Atkinson thank you . It is a conservatory much like the one in video.... Maybe 7 of them are sweating badly .. The seal is gone .. The french doors were 800 hundred each per estimate for glass replacement and the stain glass sections were not cheap either... The video shows it is very easy to remove them... Maybe a local company estimate would be cheaper than what the conservatory people charge..I just thought I could drill small holes in the side beads as they are all tempered glass .. Flush with a electronic solvent then purge all residue out...It would have to look better than sweating internal dripping water....Your video makes it look easy provided I have the replacement ready to go..
+Brian Ellsworth that sounds very expensive for glass not sure where you are but sounds a lot I could do french doors and glass fitted for not much more
Depending on the beading been internal or external it sometimes as a rubber wedge gasket that as to be removed first. Also some old council windows require a special tool it like a flat metal plate with 1 edge with a 90 degree angle raised about 15mm
I must be the only drongo here...my windows were nothing like this....I needed a crowbar to get the plastic out, there were extra bits inside (including a complete seal behind the window) and putting the plastic back in is a nightmare...nothing like this. So thanks for the video, but it was no help to me.
excommando1 it's usually the old external beaded stuff that's got security tape but most modern upvc Windows are internally beaded as this 1 in the video however some old council Windows are security beaded which needs releasing from the top of the bead where the rubber meets the glass with a thin small metal rigid right angle tool
Shane, you answered a question down below about how to take a sealed unit out where there is security tape holding it in, you replied "however some old council Windows do have a security beaded which needs releasing from the top of the bead where the rubber meets the glass with a thin small metal rigid right angle tool". What would that tool be called please? I need to buy one. Show less
john ebags yes there a tool you can use to measure the overall cavity but it would need to be a opening window or next to a opener so you can use the apparatus to clamp around the unit and read the measurements i can tell by looking but that because i used to manufacture the units
They are glass packers to lift the glass a few mm to hollow any water getting in the rebate to flow out of the drainage holes and this stops the glass from sitting in water and breaking the seal on the glass which causes the unit to fail and get condensation between the glass the packers must be wide enough to support the unit ie 28mm unit = 28mm packers
Good evening, I'm a professional in the area of aluminum frames and ordinary glasses, laminated, tempered, acoustical term ... I want to go to the USA, have available employment in this area?
Youd be better off using a spanish glazing knife and starting in the middle of the slip, also covering the screws in frames inner part with a bit of silicone
I removed all the vinyl beads, just like in this video. But my window / glass must be also held in with silicon caulking. Can't get the glass to budge at all from the frame. Plenty of room on the sides. Was thinking about heating the glass up with a torch to get it to release from the other side of the vinyl frame. Open to suggestions!
They used a thick black tape on the bedding. The silicone was used on the opposite side of the glass. Opposite side of the Glazing bead. Only a thin amount was used. I tried running a putty knife between the glass and the bead frame to separate it from the frame. The glass kept cracking, which made it dangerous to work with. My window are fogged up, not broken. I did find a shop to make new thermo ones with me doing the install & removal. 25 3/4 X 22 for $35 + tax. Blows away other quotes of $200 per window.
Shane. I tried to remove the top fixed window sash. I took the bead seals out and the window would not budge. Apparently there is sealant or caulking holding it in and the only way i can possbly remove the caulk is from outside. Any suggestions
shane i broke my little window to get in and need to replace the glass and notice that on the outside its got 2 bits of glass with plastic film in the middle is that the same as clear window tint thats used on cars if not whats it called and what is the black sealant called and would normal sealant be ok to use
it's sounds like laminated glass and the spacer and sealants used to seal the inner pane to the outer are made for making sealed units has the spacer in between the panes are filled with desiccant small balls that give the sealed unit it's vacuum and life span the sealant is more than likely a hot melt sealant that bonds the panes together with the spacer bar in between
+Shane Atkinson hi shane thanks for replying i only just noticed that you replyed after coming back on ya vid. would normal mastic do if not could you look at this link and see if any of these will do if so could you you right the product code to me thanks mate
What a great way off showing people how to break into someone's house and Rob them or even worse rape or murder. Very stupid video in my eyes. Surely common sense would have the windows solid on the outside and only be able to be removed from the inside. That's a thiefs or murderers entry point there. Only need a wood chisel and u can easily get in the house without making little to no noise. Stupid and unsafe design. Terribly manufactured. If the homeowner can't be in to have them renewed from the inside then reschedule another time. Pritty sure safety is no.1. But these have probably been made like that so that they can be done at anytime so it's more productive and therefore makes more money. Should be made firstly for for safety then for financial gain.

This is probably one of the best videos I have ever watched, I will definitely be watching again tomorrow.
Well done Shane, don't wish to sound patronising but I was a Glazier for over 25 years and know what to look out for, 👍

Very good demonstration with a silky voice over. Saved me time pissing about getting the beads out. 5 stars
Nice Video. I wish It was always that easy. Sometimes there are crazy surprises under there!
Too right, glass locks & silicone being the main culprits
Cheers, that was good. Some narration over the top would be perfect :) And, probably save you hours answering all the questions below :))
Thanks
That kid has smooth action when removing glass unlike some of the cowboys that i've worked with over the years. Sweet.
Thanks. Helped me get going with more confidence that my intuition was correct. Mine was more difficult to prise away. I needed to remove rubber seal to loosen the plastic beading more. I hate plastic windows with a vengeance. I now have to make a wooden one to fill the gap!
Would it perhaps been a little safer to take out the top bead strip out last ? That way there is no chance of it falling forward if loose in the frame? Just a suggestion but otherwise a great video.

Same thing happened to me following some very cold nights.
Same thing happened to me; house had settled and the window was 1/4" out of square which caused the inside panel to crack
Derek .c Was Lenar Homebuilder?
No, Ashton woods

Looks easy on a demo window with no caulking or glazing to hold the glass pack in place. Doesn't work that way on a normal window unless you have a deglazing tool and still doesn't come out like that
Was kind of wondering why there was no caulk to cut through.
In my opinion, the rubber seals on the outer beads should be replace too if the glazing is replaced.
Im upset this guy dont have 1k subs so he can profit from the near 1million views!
Thank you, finally got there
Thanks for the video mate. What is that you are using to get in-between the beading and the frame? I bought a chisel knife as a pallet knife was too flexible. But only managed to get one strip of.

Hi. Shane. How to measure the glass in a double glazed window for ordering? Thx.
There is a video demonstration on my videos
This looks so easy for a burglar to break in to someone's house.
I was watching a neighbour's house getting their windows changed and seen the installer take the glass out under 5 minutes.
So a burglar can do the same, I don't think these windows are secure.
The burglar would just exit the house from one of the doors.
There glazed from inside you muppet..! a burglar isn't going to start taking glass out if he's already in your house

Is there a best place to buy replacement unit in England?
Local double glazed unit manufacturers are the best

Pam Mann no problem glad it was of some help for you
What happens if its stuck to the double sided seal ?
Hello can I use this method to get to the lock mechanism? The bottom shoot bolt has disconnected I think? Thanks
Kevin Cloke no you should remove the handle whilst the window is in a open position then remove the screws that hold the mechanism to the sash
No silicone or anything?
hi is this procedure applicable to replace the glass with condensation? my contractor said change the entire window.
dee dee yes you can replace the unit only there is no need to change the frame if its in good condition
leave top bead in till last stop unit falling on you
Andy Higson n
is it possible to purge the original glass with dry nitrogen from the edge and then reseal the panes ..
yes but I'm not sure on the cost or if it's cheaper than replacement I prefer to replace the unit personally

I've NEVER encountered a dual pane unit that is so easily removable. They ALL have either an adhesive or double-sided tape holding the glass in.

how do you measure the thickness of the glass without taking the glass out? The windows cracked. cheers

When you replaced the glass unit I see in the video that the replacement unit was sat on two pieces of something green - what were/are they ?
They are glass packers to lift the glass a few mm to hollow any water getting in the rebate to flow out of the drainage holes and this stops the glass from sitting in water and breaking the seal on the glass which causes the unit to fail and get condensation between the glass the packers must be wide enough to support the unit ie 28mm unit = 28mm packers

99% of burglars like this lol.
Except in a real environment there's glazing tape and caulk you have to cut out.
ALSO THEY'D NEED TO BE INSIDE BREAKING THEIR WAY OUT!!
Only a locked in burglar😂
It depends on what way the installer puts the window and tge maker
The CIA got guys who could remove really hard window sash glazing, remove glass, gain entry, and reglaze it afterwards. Elesberg's office. Nixon days.
F#&@ our windows were installed inside out in the mid 80s. That part is on the outside. Unless this dude has full blown trees in his living room.
Looks easy , i have to do it after some ./#@%$0&.. broken my glass in day light by stone agrrrr..
not really, some time it is simply tight and some adhesive attached the igu with frame, be careful
skipped over the bit i needed to know.. lol about the seal around the edge..
Is it aluminum or Upvc?
I am looking to get. rubber gasket for PVC windows it the old. type. fir. tree. + wedge. 12 mm. wide can. any one help
Wow who need key to rob just a piece of flat screwdriver should work in 2 minutes lol
You'd have to already be inside the building to do this, as the seals aren't on the outside.
Hmm hence why you know nothing about breaking into a property...
Why do i bother locking my door?!
Because like your door it can only be opened from the inside!!!!
