I have old aluminum windows from the s. The putty is missing in places and is hard as a rock. I do not want to remove th3e old putty as I am afraid I will break the glass. Can fill in and I go over the old putty with new. Which putty do you recommend? You asking me if I like the putty that I worked with them to custom engineer for my needs?
Hi Scott, I have the sarco type m putty and would like to know the best way to tint it to match wood. I am restoring an old cabinet with glass doors and will be using garnet shellac as the finish.
I spoke with a gentleman at Sarco and he thought the shellac would be fine to use over the putty once it has skinned over. Any thoughts on either of these? Many thanks. I have the same situation: Single pane aluminum casement windows with diamond grid, and they all need reglazing.
What did you end up using on the diamond grid? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sori. I took his class and this is what we used and it was easy to work and sets a lot more quickly than the Sarco Type M and can be used in place. He has been doing this for decades, and it appears to hold up well. Your email address will not be published. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.

This type of glass contains a clear film to diffuse reflection. According to Patrick, non-reflective glass is not recommended for picture framing with fine details due to clarity lost.
Like clear glass, non-reflective glass is ideal for reproduction prints, posters and artwork of low cost or heritage value. This UV filter protects pieces from fading through light damages and can be used for framing artworks of heritage value, of high value or are irreplaceable. This type of glazing has the same UV protective property of UV Conversation Clear Glass but is non-reflective so it can diffuse reflection.
UV Non-Reflective Glass is ideal when the artwork being framed is of high value, heritage value or is irreplaceable. Acrylic or Perspex is the perfect alternative to costly glass and is lightweight and shatterproof. Unlike Perspex, this type of glazing can be use for pastels and charcoal pieces due to its anti-static properties.

Patio sliding doors, often referred to as just patio doors or sliding doors, are glass doors that slide open. Typically one moves while the other stays static, but you can have both sliding. They're a good space saver, as they won't encroach on your garden or home. Sliding doors can be uPVC or aluminium, and come in a range of colours and finishes. Although both can open, you can choose to have one open at a time and keep the other closed.
As well as aluminium and uPVC, French doors can come in wood, too. Again, there are lots of finishes available. You might want to use 'stays' — hooks to ensure the door stays open and doesn't fly back or slam shut in the wind. Bi-fold doors are a set of two or more glass doors that fold back onto each other in a concertina. With these types of doors, you won't need anything to hold them open as they automatically stay where you've opened them.
They come in aluminium and uPVC and various colours. They're a typically stylish, contemporary option, particularly if they are in aluminium. Triple-glazed windows have a third pane of glass, so they should make your home warmer and more sound-proof than double-glazed windows. Some companies also use different types of gas between the panes to further prevent heat loss and Low-E glass to reflect sunlight inside.
As you'd expect, triple glazing is more expensive than double. If you're really keen on getting it, but the cost is prohibitive for your entire house, think about triple glazing just the rooms that get coldest or suffer worst from external noise.
