Insulated glass unit

An easy task in the household is changing an insulated glass unit in a window. You must follow a few instructions and tips from the manufacturer. Don’t worry about replacing the glass until it’s foggy or cracks.

Read the following advices for a result that doesn’t involve stress and worries.
You need to measure how thick the original window was. If you buy another type of glass, you probably won’t be able to install it. We all know that thick windows reduce noise and keep the heat inside, but you must buy what is best suited for your current frame.
Be careful with the tendency of wooden frames to crack when you remove the glass. The best way to prevent this from happening is using a heat gun to soften the adhesive that holds the glass in the frame.
In case of tempered glass, proceed with caution and always wear thick gloves. If the damage is done along the edges it might break into pieces. If you deal with an annealed glass, braking it will create sharp edges
