Replacement Double Glazed Units
Double-glazed units, or sealed units as they're also called, will wear out over time. This happens when the insulating qualities of the inert gases between the glass panes degrade.
If a window has been damaged down, it is essential to replace the unit to ensure your home is fully insulated and energy efficient. Fortunately the task is relatively simple and easy to complete at home.
Installation
If the window was installed correctly, the new window will fit snugly and securely inside the frame. If the new glazed unit is not of the same thickness as the previous one, then you might need to adjust the existing "packers" (usually red or blue slips of plastic) within the frame to ensure it is properly placed. If you are unsure how to do this then consult your installer or the instructions provided by the manufacturer for guidance.
A good quality replacement double-glazed sealed unit will be manufactured to the highest standards and should fit into your frame with a minimum of fuss. A small error can have a significant impact on the performance of your window.
Modern double glazed units are a fantastic energy efficient addition to any home. They utilize an argon gas layer between the panes in order to insulate and reduce the amount of heat that could escape from your home during cold weather.
However, there are times when these units may break down or develop problems with their seals. This is usually the case when moisture is introduced into the air space of the glass and causes condensation between the panes. The moisture that is absorbed by the windows' cavity is not just ugly, but also affects the effectiveness and efficiency of the glass unit.

Insert the new piece of glass into the frame with the assistance of a partner. This should be done in a secure place as the glass can break if it falls. Once the sealed unit is securely in the frame re-attach any packers on the bottom of the frame and then put the glass beads back into their original position. Once you've completed this, give the window a thorough visual inspection to ensure there are no gaps and that it is not misaligned.
You may also need to apply a bit of sealant to the outer edge of the frame in order to prevent it from moving in the future. It is also a good idea to re-check the thickness of the glass unit. This is important as double-glazed units come in various thicknesses, and a wrong thickness could affect the u-value of your home's insulation.
Sealing
Double glazing can increase the thermal efficiency of your home, and improve acoustics. However, over time the glass's seals may wear down resulting in misted windows and a decrease in performance.

When the frame is clean, it's a good idea to give the new seals a thorough clean too. It is easy to remove the gaskets that are wedge-shaped from the friction joint by placing your fingers along the edge of the gasket and pulling it away. Note down the time frame you'll need to use the new seals. This will assist when cutting them.
After the gaskets have been cleaned and the frame is cleaned it's time for the sealed unit. It's a great idea to remove the beads (the UPVC frames clips that are used to hold the glasses) and then measure them. This will ensure that the seal is made to the correct size and will not leave any gaps around it.
After the beads are placed back in, you are able to begin with the top one and work your way to the lower ones. Be cautious not to touch the sealed units for a few minutes following the sealing process as the silicone will need some time to set and harden before you are able to handle it again.

Next, the tubes that are used as spacers are filled with desiccants to adsorb any moisture that might be trapped between the two panes of glass during manufacture or over time. This is a typical procedure for warm edge sealed units. Thermoseal Group stocks a range of desiccants as well as manual or automated dispensers of desiccant.
After the spacers are filled, the glass and frame are sealed with a high-performance silicone designed to tolerate Australia's harsh climate. This sealant forms an airtight barrier that's extremely flexible and durable that can expand and contract without breaking. It's important to use the correct thickness, as any gaps could impact thermal performance. If you're unsure of the correct thickness to use seek advice from an expert or the manufacturer's guidelines.
The final step is to add secondary sealant. This is usually polyisobutylene, or a similar substance. This is applied to the outside edges of the frame and creates a secondary bifold door seal repair able to repel moisture and stop air penetration, helping to increase energy efficiency.
The frame is coated with aluminum cladding. This protective coating can endure the elements and keep your frame looking new for a long time.
