    Window Installers! Question.....

    I have a fixed, double pane, vinyl window over my front door with the decorative bars in between the panes. Is there a way I can get these out so its just a clear window with no bars/grid? The window is about 3' long x 1' tall and is a Krestmark brand.

      no the glass is an insulated unit . If the muttons are internal you can not get them off. If they are applied mutton on the face of the glass you can get them off.

        I t could be done but you would probally break one of the panes, even a glass shop would prob charge you for new glass just to attempt it. but it can be done most of the time.

          Do I have to change the frame, or can I just replace it with a double pane clear glass?

            Most of the ones i have seen you can remove the double pane panel and leave the frame in then a glass shop or handyman could rework the panel without the grid inside.

              You don't have to change the frame just order a new IG(insulated glass)

                Double pane windows are filled with argon gas and breaking the seal will greatly reduce the insulating properties of the two panes. Have a glass company come measure it and replace it. It's the only way.

                  The window in question....

                  This is why I want the bars out. Looks good from the inside. Would you believe an 84 year old man made that?! Check out Axe United Methodist Church in Garland for more of his work.
