Double Glazing Window Repair

Over time double glazing may create problems, such as being difficult to open windows or a door that is snagged. Fortunately, these issues can be resolved easily.

Many homeowners attempt to solve these issues on their own. However it should be left up to professionals. It is dangerous to attempt to fix these problems without the right tools and information.

Broken Panes

A damaged window can be a gruelling and annoying issue. It could let hot or cold air into your home and leave a gap that allows debris or moisture to get in. This can affect your energy efficiency as your AC or furnace will need to work harder to keep your home cool. It is possible, depending on the weather and whether your windows are single-paned or double paned to repair the damage for a short period of time by applying silicone sealant. For a permanent fix, you will need professional help.

A cracked window can be fixed with high-quality tape. A strip of tape can be placed over the crack to prevent it from becoming worse. However cracks that extend all through the glass or that is too big to be covered by tape will have to be completely replaced.

Broken glass can result from many things: a pebble from the lawnmower that lands on the window; drinking a drink that is set too heavily on a table with a glass top or a pet's exuberant jump when you open the front door. It could also happen naturally as the frames of your windows shift slightly over time, breaking the special packaging material that keeps the glass sheets in place.

If you've broken a glass pane, wear thick gloves and place a cardboard box nearby to collect the shards. Remove the sash from the frame and work on a flat surface, such as a table. Wear a mask to ensure not to breathe the glass shattering.

Once the old glass is removed, take off any varnish or paint that is on the window's frame. You can also use a heat gun to soften any old glazing putty or metal glazing points that were used to hold the glass in place.

You can then measure the opening for a new pane. You should always order your replacement glass slightly smaller than the original opening to allow for expansion and contraction. Have your local hardware or home home center cut the glass according to these dimensions.

Once you have the new glass, you can press it into the frame. Fill any gaps with silicone caulk. It is available at a local home improvement store. Then, smooth the caulk with a putty knife. Add glazier's points to corners of the glass and frame around every six inches, to ensure that they keep the pane in the frame.

Condensation

Condensation can occur on double-glazed windows, regardless of whether they are brand new. This is particularly true in winter when colder air comes into contact with warmer glass. It can be a problem but it is not usually a big problem. Condensation on windows is an indication that your double glazing system is operating well.

However, it can be an indication that the seal is failing and water is leaking through the gap between your window panes. You might notice a milky appearance on the window, or water beads appearing across the surface. This must be dealt with to prevent the growth of mold, mildew, or other damage.

Fortunately, condensation can be removed very easily. A technician will drill tiny holes in the frame of the window to let the moisture trapped to escape. This process is called defogging. It may also be used to remove the stains caused by trapped moisture.

The defrogging process does not solve the root issue of a failing window seal. It might not even work when the condensation has gone away as the air that is leaking between the panes might still be there. This could mean that you still not get as much heat insulation from your windows as you should.

It is essential to consult an expert as soon as you discover that your windows are damp to determine the next steps. They might suggest solutions such as adding vents in the windows to let fresh air in but not allowing warm air to escape.
