Should You Consider Window replacement sash windows?

If you have experienced condensation on the glass panes of your windows you might want to think about replacing them. This is a more affordable alternative than replacing the entire window and will also result in more energy efficient homes.

Begin by removing the old glass with an abrasive or a utility knife. Then, using a heated gun, take off the glazing compound and glazing points.

Cost

Homeowners can expect to pay anywhere between $300 and $880 on window glass replacement, depending on the size of the windows, their type of tint, size, and features. Triple pane windows that are energy efficient are generally the most expensive to replace followed by double-pane and single-pane windows.

Typical costs include labor and materials, as well as any installation charges. A professional with experience can provide a full breakdown of the project and its costs. This will include the removal of existing windows, installation of the new panes, sealing the frame, and making sure that the new glass is properly sealed and positioned in the frame.

It could be worthwhile to replace your windows if they are damaged and old. They not only give your home a more pleasing appearance, but they will also help reduce outside noise and block UV radiation. They can also increase security, curb appeal, and energy efficiency. Installing energy efficient windows could also qualify homeowners for an additional 30% credit.

The replacement of a single standard window pane costs between $100 and $500. If however, the entire frame is damaged or in need of repair it is more cost effective to replace the entire window.

Glaziers, or window specialists, typically charge $50 to $75 per hour for window glass replacement. If your window is big or has a complex fitting the price can quickly mount up. Therefore, it's a good idea to hire a reputable company that is able to manage the entire project and also provide a guarantee.

You can save money by keeping the frame and muntins but a window that has cracks that are larger than one inch is not worth saving. The crack will only grow worse over time, and could cause leakage of water.

Another option to reduce the cost of window glass replacement is to opt for tinted or insulated window glass. This will reduce the amount of heat that enters and exiting your home, thus lowering the cost of cooling and heating. You can select from a wide range of styles, colors, and tints and even purchase UV film to further reduce the amount of UV rays passing through the window.
