Window putty is used to close the gap between the frame and the new pane. It can be applied using a putty knife, and then smoothed using a second one. Window putty can also serve as an adhesive, which helps to hold the new window to the frame. If your double-glazed windows have wood moldings, you may require a chisel to take any varnish and paint from the grooves in which the moldings fit.

Before installing a new window ensure that you have a pair of heavy gloves to prevent cuts when working with glass. Then, scrape off any remaining window glazing using a knife. Finally, measure the opening for the new window. For a wooden frame, subtract 1/16 inch from each measurement to allow for the expansion and contraction of wood. Metal frames should be treated in the same way to ensure that the replacement glass fits perfectly.

During a double-glazed window repair it is also possible that seals between the glass panes will be damaged. This can lead to condensation or a mist that forms in the gap.

As time passes the window seal may shrink or become brittle. This happens because of natural expansion and contraction as the window is exposed to various temperatures and weather conditions throughout the year.
