I've an old single glazed Crittal galvanised steel framed, leaded light, window. This is used as a door to utility room and garden. Unfortunately one of our dogs in a fit of excitement has put out one of the panes. On inspection the entire glazing is generally in poor condition. The plan is to remove all existing glazing and replace with a single sheet of 4mm toughened glass. Approx size 1335 x 540mm. Glass fits into a 20mm (3/4") rebate. We have a decent glass company locally and I was pleasantly surprised by their quoted price. I would prefer to fix glass to frame as easily, and firmly, as possible. The Crittall frame has some flexibility. I presume that the glass would add some rigidity. I have little knowledge of glazing but presume that linseed oil putty is not the stuff for the job. The glass company suggested that a bed and beading of silicone (?) would not be adequate. The window frame will be removed from hinges for removal of old and fitting of new. Any ideas on how to fix the glass to the frame please? Nick.
