• A cracked window can sometimes be costly. It is
  very important to address the problem before it
  gets worse. The foremost thing is to determine
  what type of window crack you are dealing with.
  Understanding the window crack type can help you
  decide if you simply need to restore the glass or
  if a thorough replacement of the window is
  needed.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

• 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.

• 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.

• 3. Dense plastic cover
• If youre 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 thats extensive enough
  to protect the broken area. You can also use duct
  tape to stick to the borders of the plastic.
