    Great job Alex and thank you. Very interesting. I am surprised that there is so much manual work involved with this process, in these days of automation. I would have thought that there would, at least, have been an adjustable clamping jig on pivots to make handling easier.

    I would love to buy IG units that are not engineered to fail every 20 years or less if they are facing south or west and get hot. The pressure buildup on a hot day is tremendous, eventually blowing out the seal. A good way to make them is to assemble them in a chamber that is as hot as the air in the unit will be on a hot day. Therefore, they will mostly have a vacuum that pulls them together, and on a hot day, the air pressure inside the unit is about the same as outside, preventing a blowout.

    Hey Alex, great vid. I'm looking for a vid on removing and possibly straightening a frame section that appears to be bent. Didn't want to just get a big honkin clamp and squeeze the frame back as the rubber seal between the sealed unit and frame needs to be aligned properly our it's just going to get jammed up and damaged. Clear as mud??? Thanks for any advise. Do you provide service calls for this type of repair??

      In the U.K we can get a 4mm glass, 6mm spacer, 4mm glass unit, so 14mm would be a thin unit for wooden frames or retro fitting, normall units a 4/12/4 so 20mm in plastic frames, I have no idea what the gap is in alloy frames.

  • @Bespokespaces
    @Bespokespaces Před 2 lety +1

    Hi Alex. Thanks for making the video. I have had some double glazed units made up that I am going to fit into a wooden framed porch I have made. The six pieces came with black gaffer tape stuck around the edges and overlapped onto the glass face. Is it OK to remove this before fitting it into the frame with weather seal adhesive tape? The gaffer tape is puckered at the edges which reduces the snug fit against the frame. I wasn't sure if this tape aids in keeping the glass together. After watching your video it seems the hot filler is sufficient and the gaffer tape is just applied to protect the glass edges in transit. I'd be interested in your comments. Thanks...

    • @AlexRubioRQualityGlass
      @AlexRubioRQualityGlass  Před 2 lety

      Yes. It would be ok to remove it the sealer is significant for the seal

    Alex, I'm starting a window pane replacement/repair company. I'm new so I do need training and these videos helped me with more ideas. I used to be a builder but the body is not as it used to be. The repair company I want to use drills holes on the exterior and you use special patented vents and this dries out the descendent and keeps it dry . This will allow the window to stay clear with a 20 year warranty. Or if it's too far gone replace the IGU. I'm wondering is I can have a shop to make my own IGU or is it worth it? I guess you have to see what you can get materials for and figure out the labour and whatnot. But for emergency repair you could offer a 24hr service with a higher mark up that's all. What I've read/learned is that Argon gas is somewhat overrated. It saves minimal and the costs out way the savings so why bother? After 3-4 years the gas is out due to solar pumping anyway. Trust me I've been in construction over 30 years and always put Argon in my windows because that's what everyone does. But getting into the anatomy and understanding windows more now I don't see the purpose. Any help/feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'm in Canada, so we go from -30 Celsius to + 30 Celsius. Sorry for the long question.

    • @AlexRubioRQualityGlass
      @AlexRubioRQualityGlass  Před 2 lety +1

      We feel the same about argon gas. As long as you go with a soft coat of low e glass that’s is usually good enough, and the hot melt machine is definitely worth it especially for emergencies like you said when people don’t wanna wait days for a replacement. We get most of our stuff from crlaurence you can look up the website for IGU materials

    I want to make my own spacer and would like to know how much smaller is the spacer than the glass panes. I assume there needs to be a certain amount of space between the spacer and the edge of the glass for the adhesive to seal properly. Also, what is a good hot melt alternative adhesive that a DIY'er like myself can use? Is silicone caulking that you can get at the local hardware store good enough? Thanks! Great informational video Alex!

    • @AlexRubioRQualityGlass
      @AlexRubioRQualityGlass  Před 4 lety +5

      Alejandro Caraveo the spacer is usually cut down 7/8 of an inch smaller than the glass size but if you reallly wanted to you can make it an even inch smaller than the glass. And no silicone is not recommended but some glass shops might be will to sell you some super spacer caulking and you just need a regular caulking gun and just wait a few days for it to dry. The hot melt just makes it to where we can go install it as soon as it’s done

      It definitely take a while for it to cure compared to the hot melt

      I bought the correct foam metal caulk you spoke of...thank you. I'm not clear where you get the spacer. Any advice Alex?

    I have two questions.. is there a way to do this without the machine? And what about the gases I hear needs to be inside the panel? I have a stack of reclaimed windows I was to take apart and reseal.. I just don't have the machine if the gas thing isn't really a thing! Appreciate you!!

      Don’t need the machine and don’t have to have the gas it does help a bit more with heating and cooling but does not need the gas

    Hi, great video. So the sealant bead is strong enough to keep the 2 pains and spacer together, before installing the window, is that correct?

    What is the tool you're using to seal the class? Also if you use this type of glass for exterior application will there ever be condensation formed between the two class. Thank you

    • @AlexRubioRQualityGlass
      @AlexRubioRQualityGlass  Před 2 lety

      That machine is a hot melt! And the condensation can happen but if properly sealed than the condensation shouldn’t happen but we usually warranty it if you get condensation

    Thank för this video, but doesn't the intrapped air condens and freeze agaist the glass during winter season?

      Honestly no it doesn’t it’s probably the most asked question, and we do get below freezing temperatures

    Is there a way to cut through the black sealant later on if we need to replace one of the glass sides? If yes, what do you recommend using to cut through it?

    • @AlexRubioRQualityGlass
      @AlexRubioRQualityGlass  Před 5 lety

      OVI-Wan Kenobi yes there is, and what I recommend is a utility knife. Mine is 18 inches long so I can get some leverage. We just call it a long knife

      @@beechenlee its honestly easier to just build a new IGU. Once you cut open the current one, you are compromising the seal/risking glass breakage. Even if you butyl it back up, the spacer still has a shelf life. Which, for these kinds of spacers, is about 10 years
