Almost always glazed design decorates the room. In addition to aesthetics, the glass has two practical qualities - it is able to visually expand the size of any room and increase the amount of natural light.

 

In view of the fragility of the glass sometimes in an emergency can break. And it is fraught with a number of troubles. One problem is the pieces. They are a real threat to the health of loved ones. To solve this problem, you should carefully to change the broken glass.

Replacing the glass in the door leaf

If someone accidentally broke the glass in the door, do not despair. Replace it will not be difficult. The main thing - is to buy heavy gloves during operation to prevent cuts glass.

 

To replace the glass, it is necessary to implement:

  • notwithstanding the doors of all the fragments of broken glass;
  • conduct accurate measurements;
  • the purchase of new glass;
  • preparation of the door leaf;
  • glass insert and a final fixation.

To accurately remove the broken glass shown in the photo, you should use a small hammer and chisel. With the help of these tools, the strokes are slightly weakened. At first it is done at the top of the headquarters. It is not necessary to remove them until the end. The strokes are removed after extracting all broken fragments.

 

At the initial stage of replacement of broken glass, large fragments are very neatly retrieved, and then small. All fragments are folded into a pre-prepared paper box. If the glasses inadvertently fell to the floor, they need to immediately fit. On the floor should not be a single fragment.

 

If there were rubberized gaskets in the door, which kept glass, they need to be very carefully examined. In case of damage, a new sealing material is purchased.

 

When measuring the opening and buying a new glass, you must adhere to the following requirements:

  • the dimensions of the glass must be less than 1.5-2 mm;
  • it is best to get hardened glasses or triplex that is not afraid of shocks.

 

In some cases, you will have to resort to cutting glass. For this procedure, only high-quality glass cutter is used. You can check it on the line that he leaves after himself. If the line is white and coarse, then the glass cutter is not suitable for work. The tool must leave a colorless thin line on the glass.

 

To perform multiple cuts, under the glass contains paper on which all lines are placed. Straight lines are cut with a wooden rail. The glass cutter should be kept strictly in a vertical position. Cutting glass begins from the farthest site. It is necessary to press on the glass cutter evenly.

 

The preparation of the door leaf is:

  • removing old gaskets, sealant and putty;
  • stripping sandy paper folds.

 

Sometimes you can encounter such a problem as a breakdown of the stroke. In this case, you need to purchase a new fastener element of the same color. If it was not possible to choose a suitable stack, then you can use the wax pencil of the corresponding color.

After all new products are bought, the door is removed from the loops and stacked in a horizontal position. It is better to use a long and wide table on which the door should fit completely.

 

There is the following sequence of replacement of broken glass in the door:

  • around the perimeter of the opening where the glass will be lying, silicone is applied;
  • glass is inserted into the rubberized gasket and placed in its place;
  • it is forbidden to put pressure on the glass cloth;
  • with a strongly tight entry into the fold, it is necessary to trim the gasket;
  • the sealant is applied to the second part of the glass;
  • the strokes are processed by silicone and fit back to each other.

 

Some people may seem unnecessary operation. But this is not at all true. No matter how durable is the grip of glass with silicone sealant, during operation, the canvas can be lagging behind the opening. After a complete set of sealant (1-1.5 hours), the door can be hung on a loop.

Using glass repair glue

Sometimes the glass surface is not broken, and small chips or crack appear on it. In this case, you can use a special adhesive composition. Before gluing a broken glass, it is necessary to realize that this process is not easy. And on the glass surface there may be traces. Therefore, the choice of glue should be suitable with full responsibility.

 

The most appropriate glasses for gluing glass and glueing other materials to them are adhesive compositions:

  • Mars;
  • Unicum;
  • Pauchex;
  • Super cement.

All listed products:

  • are waterproof;
  • create colorless and durable seams.

 

The glass gluing process consists of the following steps:

  • acetone degreases the surface of the glass;
  • the first layer of glue is applied to the treated surface;
  • it dries out for 5-10 minutes;
  • applying the second layer of glue;
  • after 2-3 minutes Bled elements are connected.

 

For the highest quality glass gluing, you can use clamps or rubber harness. The glued elements are tightly pressed to each other and left for 20-30 minutes. Full pouring of the seam will occur after 24 hours.

 

There is another embodiment of such a process, how to make a broken glass:

  • the glass surface is clean and dried;
  • also treated with acetone;
  • one side of the glass is covered with scotch;
  • in the syringe without a needle, glue pumps;
  • the application of glue occurs along the entire length of the broken glass;
  • the glass is left in a fixed state;
  • scotch is carefully cleaned;
  • the glass is once again dengulated with acetone and is covered with a transparent varnish.

 

Replacing glass package

The technology of replacement of broken glass in the window made of wood is identical to the extraction of the broken canvas from the interior door. We will describe in more detail about how to replace the broken glass in the plastic window.

This process consists of three main stages:

  • measure the old glass machine;
  • his dismantling;
  • installations of the new glass.

 

When measuring the old glass package, it does not remove from the opening. Simply determines the distance between the external borders of the strokes. It is done both in height and in width. The results obtained takes 1.5 cm. This is the size of the new glass package.

 

To remove a broken double glazing, you need to remove the strokes. Start with the longest side staps. The sharp part of the chisel is placed between the window frame and the stroke groove. Using a rubber hammer, neat blows are applied on the end part of the chisel. A small slot should be formed.

 

Strokes on the hammer are applied until the stroke will be out of the groove. In this way, all other staps are removed. Immediately pays close attention to plastic pads, which are between the folded opening and the glass. If they are in a normal state, you do not need to change them.

 

New glass is mounted on adjusting plates made of plastic. When fastening the "deaf" double-glazed, the plates are mounted at the bottom of the canvas. In the presence of an open flap, the installation of the plates occurs with a 10-centimeter indent in two angles:

  • at the bottom of the design on the side of the loop;
  • at the top of the window frame diagonally to the bottom loop.

Adjustment of the exact location of the glass package is carried out by planing plates.

Installation of the strokes is carried out in reverse order:

  • first short;
  • then long.

All strokes must fit in the groove. If small scratches have appeared in the process of assembly work on the stroke, they should be sweesened by sandpaper.
