Unfortunately, the kids managed to damage the lower middle pane of this window wall while playing around. The glass appears to be cracked on the inside but not completely broken through. However, I’m not entirely sure about that.

We have separated the fairly large room with a drywall partition to create two children's bedrooms (visible in the upper pane). This wall might now be an obstacle for replacing the pane.

However, I generally don’t have any idea how to replace a pane in a window wall like this.

Is it possibly feasible to replace the pane despite the wall being there?

It could be tight. The trim is installed from the inside, so the moldings need to be removed there. If you manage to remove them, the pane would have to be slid in from the side. It’s fiddly work, but conceivable.

Thanks in advance for the reply. I’ll probably call in a window specialist then. I usually do everything myself, but I don’t want a hole in the house that I can’t properly seal.

Why a window manufacturer? For that, you would usually hire a glazier.

Alright. Learned something new again. This is the first defective window.

How tight is the wall around the windowpane?

You can easily replace the pane yourself if you can remove the trim.
