Double Glazing Window Repair

Over time, double glazing could develop issues. For instance, it may become difficult to open the windows or have doors that get stuck. These problems can be easily resolved.

Many homeowners try to fix these problems themselves. However it should be left up to the experts. It is dangerous to attempt to fix these problems without the proper tools and information.

Broken Panes

A broken window pane is a frustrating and annoying problem. It can let cold or hot air into your home, and leave a gap which allows dirt or moisture to get in. This can affect your energy efficiency as your AC or furnace will need to work harder in order to keep your home cool. Depending on the season and whether you have single or double-pane windows, you may be able to repair the damage by using silicone sealant. However, a permanent fix will require professional help.

Heavy-duty tape can be used to repair a cracked window. A strip of tape can be placed over the crack to prevent it from becoming worse. A crack that extends through the glass, or is too large to be covered with tape will require to be completely replaced.

Broken glass can result from numerous factors: a stray pebble from the lawnmowers that hits the window; drinking a drink that is set too heavily on a glass-topped coffee table; or a pet's excited jump when you open the door. It can also happen naturally as the frames of your windows move slowly over time and break the protective packaging material that holds the glass sheets in the right place.

If you've broken a glass pane, wear thick gloves and place a cardboard box nearby to collect the shards. Remove the frame's sash and work on a flat surface, such as a table. Wear a mask to prevent inhaling the glass shattering.

After the old glass has been removed, remove any varnish or paint from the frame of the window. You could also use a heat gun to soften any old glazing putty or metal glazing points that were used to hold the glass in the first place.

Luckily, condensation can be removed quite easily. A technician will drill a tiny number of holes into the window frame, which allows the moisture trapped to go away. This process is known as defogging. It may also be used to remove stains that are caused by moisture that has been trapped.

It's important to keep in mind, however, that defogging doesn't fix the underlying problem of a leaking seal.
