How to Glaze a Window - Part 4: Sash Window Restoration

So I'm at the glazing stage with the sashes. I've now painted them and by the end of the video they are glazed. I hope you enjoy watching this part of the process and pick up some helpful hints and tips with regards to double glazing in timber windows.

After watching this video you should have a good idea of technique on glazing a timber window, materials involved and the tools needed to do so. Here are some of the tools (or better/more cost effective variants) I use in the video:

5 years on you’ve done an amazing job teaching me to fix my windows saving me 20k easily mate love how indepth and informative they are

[mattcable]

Hey buddy. Thanks so much for making these videos - I think they're extremely informative and well put together. I do fine interiors, pannelled walls, alcove cabinets etc, and love learning about 'joinery'. I really appreciate what you're taking the time to do these. Kindest, Matt

[NeilDunlop]

Not a prolific YouTube commenter but thought a thanks was in order. Lots of great tips (knife to lift tape backings... genius!) and in a great format too. 🤟

[alistairmcmeekin]

Great detail. Thanks for taking the time to make such a comprehensive video series. Alistair

[chazlennox]

Another great detailed video. Thanks very much. I'm feelings so much more confident about restoring my own windows after watching this. Keep up the good work.

These are the best hands on joinery instructional videos I've come across on the web. I've been blundering along making windows, doors etc for years, non professionally, and the information contained in your videos would have saved me a lot of time, frustration and allowed me to do a more professional job.I wish i had seen something like your videos 20 years ago. your obviously a fine and efficient tradesman plus a natural teacher. If I could make a request or suggestion for a couple of videos. I'd like to see how you sharpen your chisels and planes (mine seem to be permanently blunt and I don''t know if its me or our Australian Hardwoods) and also a walk around of workshop showing the fantastic machines you have. Thanks for taking the time to share your skills

Very useful series, thanks! Would be great if you could do a part 5, to show us round the finished windows on the property!

[drewbyscoobywho]

Another great video! Really get a lot from these long form videos, appreciate the time and effort you put into them, must slow you down loads! 👍👍👍

[simonatherley]

Great video, Richard. Really well put together. I am so glad I found this. Without it, I think I would have hit quite a few problems putting the replacement double glazed units in for my old steamed up kitchen windows.

Excellent video. I have a fogged up fixed frame insulated pane 22"w 56"h which must be done in place from the outside. It is one pane of a 4 pane bowed bay window on first floor of home. Frame is all wood. applying some of what I learned from your video, I will feel much more confident doing the job. I replaced one of the other panes about 10 years ago. Wish I had seen your video first!

[man_v_snacks]

Bit of a late question - which sealant do you use for glazing? Brilliant info, many thanks, I've made hardwood double glazed sashes for the whole house, save me 1000s!!

[ratchriat]

top work those window is going to last 4 year's enjoyed the video.

[markrussell]

Another great video & fine job. It makes you appreciate the work that goes into making them. 👍

[tiktok-xgj]

Brilliant series really enjoyed watching it and learnt a lot too!
I was hoping to see how you went about repairing and refurbishing the frames and cills onsite as I thought that would be the more challenging part of the job!

[jonathanwalker]

Outstanding sash construction - simply outstanding! Is there a video on the installation with fitting and weatherstripping!

Hi mate, just came across your channel while I was looking for which seals to use for my casement window refurbs and so happy I did. I'm now addicted to your videos, they are fantastically informative and your complete range of skills is very impressive for such a young chap.
One question though on the wet seal; I have casement windows with Georgian bars therefore each leaf has 8 panes x 2 and a fixed centre pane with a top window, so each window has 24 individual panes of glass!! I sanded all the varnish off a couple of years ago and used the water based Dulux Weathershield system and the paint has already started to flake. Dulux seem to think its because water was getting under the glazing bars. The glazing seal is a Brown sealant which is like a 3mm tape and still flexible similar to blue tack. I was going to take the glass out and replacement the seals with the tape you used in your video but I wasn't going to add the silicone step. Would it be ok to just use the tape like you did on the inside, on the outside? would it be watertight? Sorry for the long question!!!

[kinkankazoo]

Not watched them all the way through yet but they are great videos.Thanks very much.Have you got one of fixing the box section frames please?

[rockandmeatroll]

howdy are you still planning to show an install of these, that would be very cool to see! Its a great series of videos ty

[jasonbrain]

Fantastic Video, superbly informative and detailed! Just a quick one, you mentioned a seal that you were putting in the sides of the frames rather than have a seal in parting beads. Can you share which one?

[royordway]

Nice series of videos. I'm glad I found your channel.
It looks as though you did not caulk the exterior where the glass sits on the tape. Maybe I missed it. If you didn't seal that joint, aren't you afraid of water getting in that tiny space between the wood sash and the glass?
I started doing carpentry when I was 19 and I'm 65 now. For almost 40 years I worked for a company that owned 20 old building in our downtown. During our slow times, we would remove the sash from the jambs, remove all of the glass, scrape all of the old glazing and make repairs to the sash. We'd prime the sash and replace the glass either with the glass that came out or if it was broken new glass. We got pretty good at glazing the windows after a couple months. These windows were big, some openings were 10 feet, 3.04 meters to 12 feet, 3.65 meters tall with arch tops. A lot of the window weights were 25 pounds, 11.4 Kg. I don't know how close my conversions are.
