Glazing can make a significant difference in the energy efficiency of your home. This is particularly important for older double-glazed Windows.

Broken Glass
Windows that are cracked aren't just unattractive, but also allow valuable heat and sunshine to escape your home. It's possible to fix damaged glass without replacing the entire window.
Begin by putting on protective gloves and safety glasses. You should also place a piece of tape with an "X" shape on the glass you plan to remove (duct or painter's tap works well). This will prevent any broken pieces from falling while you work, which can keep you from serious injuries.
If you've got a tiny crack in your window glass you can cover it with tape to block water, wind and insects. If the crack is superficial, replacing a single strip of tape is enough. However in the event that the weather is likely to get worse before you can replace the window, you might prefer a sturdy plastic cover, such as an tarp or trash bag.
Make sure you use an adhesive that is strong and specifically designed for windows to fix cracks. Loctite Super Glue Glass is a great choice. This high-tech adhesive is designed to bond to glass, and then dries crystal clear for the perfect finish. Apply it to the crack and let it completely dry before applying a new layer.
Stress cracks are another frequent issue that can occur to your glass window. They're typically caused by dramatic changes in temperature, and can quickly spread across the entire glass window if they aren't repaired. To avoid stress fractures, use a glass cutter to cut a small arc close to the crack. This can prevent the crack from expanding and reducing the severity for several days.
If you're replacing a broken window, measure the frame for the new pane. It should be slightly larger than the opening in order to allow for expansion and contracting, as well as to make up for any imperfections that may occur on the frame or the glass. After you've cut your glass to size apply glaziers' compounds around the edges of both the frame and the glass. Once the compound is dry then paint it over it to match the rest of the window frame.
