on 10/26/2008 Hi,
I have a thermal pane glass unit which has clouded up and needs replaced. It is a fixed unit and I’m having trouble getting the u-shaped “stop” out from around the glass. Is there a special tool I should buy? What am I doing wrong? It looks like it should be easy. I have four of these to replace in my house. My name’s Dan and my email is aspengold@cox.net. I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks

on 10/30/2006 The best product that I have seen for dealing with broken glass windows is called the Broken Glass Stabilizer(tm). This product is a very easy to use for everyone. It is a foam that is applied to the broken window that adheres to the glass and makes a water-proof weather tight barrier that you can leave in place until you get your glass guy out to fix the glass. I have a kit on hand for hurricane season - you don't need power to use the BGS(tm) and it's a lot easier than dealing with the lines at Home Depot or Lowe's to get plywood! Even if we are not affected by storms this year, I will still keep a kit on hand since you never know when glass will break. An associate had a broken window and was told the earliest "emergency" appointment was 4 days away. With BGS, I don't have to worry... It's and instant fix!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE! They have a very easy to comprehend how to video on their website as well bgsfoam.com

on 11/22/2005 Almost any glass shop can make a replacement IG (insulated glass) unit. In most cases, that glass is easier to replace than a puttied-in single pane glass.
