Things You'll Need:
- Gloves
- Protective eye-wear
- Tarp
- Insulated glass window
- Glass cutter
- Hammer or chisel
-
Step 1
Set up a tarp underneath the insulated glass window. Put on the protective eye-wear and thick gloves. It is important to protect yourself, as well as your floor, when glass is cut in case it shatters.
-
Step 2
Pick a place in the middle of the insulated window's first pane of glass. Place the back of the hammer, or the chisel, at this point. Firmly tap against the glass until cracks start to form. Once larger cracks appear, keep tapping until glass begins to fall out of the window in chunks. Remove large chunks of glass from the first pane of insulated glass.
-
Step 3
Cut through the larger pieces of glass with the glass cutters; remove pieces from the pane.
-
Step 4
Pry out the larger glass pieces stuck to the sides of the pane (make sure you're wearing gloves). Place the pieces in a safe place where you won't get cut or step on them, such as in a bucket.
-
Step 5
Chip away the glass carefully so that the second pane of glass is not affected.
