Hello
I hope someone can help me!
I have just recently bought my first house. Trying to save myself some money by doing DIY but the only experience I really have is just helping my dad out as a kid!
There is some sort of foam between the internal window pane and UPVC frame and on one of the windows it is very damaged in several places.
I’ve attached a photo.
I’ve googled it and I think it’s glazing foam.
Question is how do I go about replacing it? I tried to see if I could pull it out without damaging it more but it’s obviously stuck tight! Do I need to just yank it out or is there a special way of taking it out?
The window has the beading on the outside (and it’s first floor). Can I change it without taking the window pane out?
The rest of the windows in the house seem to have a rubber gasket rather than foam.
Is it better to use foam or a gasket? (To be honest I do prefer the look of the gasket!)
Thanks for helping a gal out! Sorry if these are really silly questions!
