Your shed window is broken probably from a football hit, a rain storm, or some other accident and now you find yourself in a bit of a pickle because your once-lovely Shed is now ruined by a broken window. You’re probably wondering if it calls for a new shed construction or if you need to call for a handyman to come and fix it. Both of these options are unnecessary because your shed window replacement can be done by you.
DIY- Shed Window Replacements
Styrene window glasses are used for shed windows. They are way stronger than the standard glass, but sheds are used quite a lot, and accidents are bound to happen to result in broken window glasses.
The following tools are needed to replace your shed window as quickly and safely as possible,
- A new glass pane
- Screwdriver
- Strong utility knife
- Tape measure.
- Glaziers’ points or spring clips.
With these tools in place, we can now go ahead.
Step 1: Remove the framing around the broken window.
While removing the frame from a broken shed window, ensure that the window pane does not fall off when the frame comes out. Use a screwdriver to carefully take off the frame pieces
Step 2: Take out the broken glass pane
After carefully removing the window frame, you can now remove the broken pane. Steer clear of sharp edges to avoid getting cut although a styrene window pane doesn’t usually shatter when broken.
Step 3: Get the replacement pane
Measure the new pane to make sure it is the right fit. If your new pane is too big, cut it to size using a chisel or a sharp knife or you go down to a local glazier shop and get your glass pane resized.
Step 4: Insert the new pane into the gap
Once you have gotten the right size, put the styrene pane back into the gap and keep it in place using glazier points.
Step 5: Re-attach framing
Attach the frame firmly in place after inserting the new pane, but ensure that it isn’t attached too tightly. Using a screwdriver, put the framing pieces back into place.
