Glass Replacement

A West Linn Property sitting pretty on the Willamette River. The windows in this house are Weathershield brand wood-clad.

This is one of four units for which the glass is to be replaced, and the most difficult of the four to reach. Due to how the glass is glazed to the frame…the glass must be removed, and then the new glass installed from the interior.

And it’s a heavy Hosea.

The task at hand involved transporting our insulated glass unit up between a nearby ceiling/wall structure and the scaffold that we needed…

…in order to reach the elevated opening.

Up and up from one platform to the next.

Kyle & Jesse steady the insulated glass unit while Jared & Tony quickly double-check that the frame is properly prepared.

Now there’s a type of skylight you don’t see every day.

Measures are taken to ensure that the glass is seated adequately against the wet-glaze on the exterior side of the window…before the wood-stop material is reinstalled to hold the glass into its proper position.

Technician Jesse Trillinger is shown here glazing one of the other new glass units into an operable casement window.
