Well, if you're willing to spend an hour or two, you can set the window for about $ 20 or $ 30. I will not try to explain how to cut your glass. I will explain how to get the old glass,Size of the new glass, and install the replacement glass. So, we try to use this article to explain the most common form of aluminum framed windows.

If you have a sliding window, sliding one of the panels will be stationary and the other back and forth. If you increase the slider is broken and just off the ground.

This should push the rollers down, allowing you to remove the control panel. Place the dish on a table and measure the width and height of the glass alone. Take this measurement and add 1 / 2 "in width and height. This is the new glass size that you need to order. Measure the thickness of antique glass. It will be either 1 / 8" or slightly less than that. The thin glass is called single strength and is actually about 3 / 32. "The 1 / 8" of glass iscalled double-strength glass. Make sure that the correct order. If you order double strength glass because they are stronger than single strength piece of historical character, you'll have a hell of a set time frame back together have. The small "difference 1 / 32 can be a real pain in the neck. Trust me, it is only to be replaced with a single strength.

Put half of the frame (no matter which half) against the glass and tap the corner on the first. Then tap the long side on the rubber until it stops. Then make the short side. Now set the othertwo edges of the table and do the same procedure. Finally, install the screws in the corners. Put the disc in, and you're done.
