  3. Kinds of cracked windows 1. Stress Cracks A stress crack will form a small crack near the border of the window. As the time passes, it will start to spread all over the glass. These cracks are often induced by drastic changes in temperature. Stress cracks may also occur due to more physical pressure, such as banging a window.

  4. 2. Pressure Cracks A pressure crack is likely the least expected type of crack in a window. It most generally happens in double-paned or insulated windows. It can happen if glasses are nestled at a very low or very high level of altitude. The glasses cannot resist the force of this high or low weather and will break as a result. In case you undergo a pressure crack, you will more probably have to do an entire window or glass replacement.

  5. 3. Impact Cracks An impact crack is caused by the strength of an object smashing the glass. You can generally figure out this kind of damage has appeared because of the identifiable smashing mark that extends outwards from the point of wreck. You may end up hurting yourself if you try to fix this damage on your own. It is better if you leave it to an experienced person to repair or replace the window.

  6. How to temporarily repair or restore a broken window at home Restoring a crack window by yourself is just a temporary fix. There are a few snappy fixes you can attempt, but the only secure and permanent manner to restore smashed glass is to get it done by a specialist. You can test one of the below methods to fix by yourself:

  7. 1. Masking tape Try fixing it with masking tape to either side of the damage. This will hold the glass intact and control it from cracking more. Ensure to spread the tape beyond the damage on both sides, press it gently into the glass for better results.

  8. 2. Glass adhesives Glass adhesives will hold the glass at least till you seek for a permanent solution. Utilize a needle or brush, spread the adhesive to the damage and enable it to dry totally & then extract the tape.

  9. 3. Dense plastic cover If you’re seeking for a temporary or a quick solution that will ensure to keep out the bugs, using a thick wide plastic cover on top of the window damage will certainly do the job. Trim & stick a piece of plastic that’s extensive enough to protect the broken area. You can also use duct tape to stick to the borders of the plastic.
