+Broken Panes
+
+A broken window pane is an annoying and inconvenient problem. It could let hot or cold air in your home, and leave a gap that allows debris or moisture to get in. It can also lower your energy efficiency, as your AC and furnace will have to perform more to keep your home comfortable. You might be able depending on the weather conditions and whether your windows are single-paned or double-paned to repair the damage temporarily by applying silicone sealant. However for a permanent fix, you will require professional help.

+Broken glass can result from many things: a pebble from a lawnmower that strikes the window an unintentionally placed drink heavily on a glass-topped table or a pet's exuberant leap when you open the front door. It can also occur naturally as the frames of your windows shift in a slight manner and break the protective packaging material that holds the glass sheets in the right place.
+
+When you have a broken glass pane, you should wear thick gloves and place a cardboard box nearby to catch the shards. Remove the sash and work on an even surface, such as a table. Wear a mask to avoid breathing in the glass fragments.

+Once the old glass has been removed, clean any paint or varnish from the window's frame. You can use a heating gun to soften the old glazing putty or the metal points that kept the glass in place.
+
+Then, you can measure the opening of a new glass. You should always get your replacement glass slightly smaller than the original opening to allow for expansion and contraction. You can ask your local hardware store or your home center cut it to these dimensions.
+
+Press the new glass into the frame. Fill any gaps with silicone caulk. You can buy it at a home improvement shop. Then smooth the caulk using a putty knife.
