Reglazing
Old, cracked or failing glazing compound is removed and replaced with a fresh, properly bedded glazing line — sealing out water and drafts for another generation of service.
Fresh glazing line, weathertight seal
What's Included
The scope of work
- Removal of failed, cracked or missing glazing putty
- Inspection of glass and steel channel for damage under the old glazing
- Application of new glazing compound, properly bedded and tooled
- Priming of bare steel exposed during the process
- Cure time and finish work to match the surrounding frame
- Spot reglazing on individual panes or full-window service
The Benefits
Why this matters
- Stops water intrusion at its most common entry point
- Restores a weathertight seal without replacing the glass or frame
- Prevents the rust that starts when water gets behind failed glazing
- A relatively affordable fix that adds years of service life
