Houses in Toongabbie have usually had a few owners, a few renovations and a lot of paint. That history is why the window work here is rarely just a matter of dropping in a new pane. Amrah Glass & Aluminium re-glazes and repairs windows across the suburb, in the original cottages, the 1970s and 80s brick homes, the newer duplexes and the units near the station.<\/p>

All glass meets AS 1288, quotes are fixed before work starts, and anything broken gets made safe the same day.<\/p>

Windows that have been painted shut<\/h3>

This is the most common thing we deal with in older Toongabbie homes, and it causes more broken glass than people realise.<\/p>

When a timber window gets painted, the paint usually goes over the putty, the beads and the join between sash and frame. Do that a few times over thirty years and the window effectively becomes glued shut. Then someone puts their shoulder into it on a hot day, the sash suddenly gives way, and the pane cracks or a bead splits off.<\/p>

If a window in your house won’t budge, don’t force it. The paint seal can be cut with a blade along the joint, which releases the sash without stressing the glass. We do this as part of the job when we’re re-glazing, and it’s worth having done on windows that haven’t opened in years. A painted-shut bedroom window is also a problem in a fire, since it’s meant to be a way out.<\/p>

Paint over putty causes a second issue. Once the paint film cracks, water gets in behind it and sits against the putty and timber, and the putty crumbles away faster than it would bare. That’s why we sometimes find a pane that’s loose in the rebate on a window that looks perfectly painted from a metre away.<\/p>

Fibro-era homes: one thing to be aware of<\/h3>

A fair number of homes here were built when fibro sheeting was standard, and that material may contain asbestos. It’s safe when it’s intact and left alone.<\/p>

Standard glass replacement doesn’t disturb wall sheeting. We take the glass out of the frame and put new glass back in, and the surrounding lining isn’t touched. But if a job would mean cutting, drilling or breaking sheeting around the opening, such as reframing a window or widening it, that’s work for a licensed asbestos removalist, not a glazier. We’ll tell you if we think that’s what you’re facing rather than quietly cutting into it.<\/p>

If you’re not sure what your walls are, a licensed assessor can confirm it. It’s a cheap check and it settles the question before any renovation starts.<\/p>

After a storm, check more than the glass<\/h3>

Properties near Toongabbie Creek and the lower-lying streets cop the worst of the heavy rain, and the damage shows up in the frames as much as the panes.<\/p>
