r/glazing

I have these windows, they needed to be reglazed so we took the entire frame and tracks/balance out. We also noticed that the springs were no longer attached and that’s why the windows are a nightmare to open and then slam shut.
The problem is they are so old, and I can’t find replacement clips (the eroded red/pink things at the end of the springs). The springs are not in too bad shape and I thought i could clean them and just replace the clips. No luck.

So I am guessing I need to replace the entire track thing that houses the springs. I am seeing lots of suggestions from Google. They look very different than what I have now and I’m wondering if anyone can talk to me like I have absolutely no idea of technical terms of window parts and give me a suggestion on how to fix these?

Need some assistance with glass installation identification of the glass being used is actually low iron. I'm starting to question because the job has all kinds of little issues and fabrication on part of it was totally wrong. In low light the edge looks totally green. I put paper to the glass and color is still white with out the green tint as the standard glass would likely have. Any pros out there would appreciate the pointers.

Standard sized card for reference. One of our cats likes to sit on the bin in front of this window, we think she may have been the target for an airgun pellet? They're a rubbish shot if so, she's huge.

Next door neighbour does pest control and is sure it's a small bullet, but friend says it's probably a stone (no stone nearby though). Any insights?

Hi all
I’ve had my windows replace by Anglian Windows, timber frame about a year ago. It seems that the wooden frames (on the outside) are coming apart and the paint is coming off. I’m obviously upset about this, have contacted Anglian who have delayed me. One of their guys came out and wanted to add filler around the disjointed wood to which I refused to let him do that and then he said a manager will have to come out and see what’s to be done. This has now been a month ago and I have not heard back from them. I first contacted them in May, it’s been way too long.
Please can you advise where I can send my complain to, apart from their shit customer service team? And what are the odds I would actually be successful in my complaint?

Thank you

Vintage brass and smoked glass shelves with damage on edge of some shelves, fleabite or a tiny bit larger, not obvious. Can they be repaired or will this shatter? Thanks so much!

I have a 1955 Cliff May Rancho in Dallas with original fixed clerestory windows. One window is missing the narrow aluminum divider between two panes of glass. The glass itself is intact.

I have contacted local glass companies, but the one that seemed qualified said they replace broken glass only and do not repair or fabricate the aluminum framing.

I do not want to remove an intact divider from another window because I don’t want to risk damaging the original glass.

Is this something a commercial glazier, aluminum storefront fabricator, or architectural metal shop should be able to reproduce from measurements and photos? And does anyone know what this particular divider/profile would be called?

I’ll attach photos of both the missing divider and an intact one for comparison.

I’m replacing some windows in my home but unsure if I need to get the same size windows with the add ons as the internal cavity wall opening is larger than the external or if I can fit the new window to the external brick work

I would like to add a second cat perch to my window, but I am worried it could break. The window looks modern, not new but not to old either. My big cat is 14 pounds, and the kitten is 5 pounds and growing, he will probably end up being 9-12 pounds. How do I know if it can support the weight safely? I have supports under the frame on the perch that is on there now, so that one is not putting very much stress on the window. Would the suction cups fail before the glass breaks?
