Double-glazed windows comprise two or more glass panes, with gas in between to provide insulation. Seals also hold the panes together. Having condensation in between the glass panes is usually an indication that there is an issue with one of the seals, which needs to be replaced. This usually involves replacing only one window pane and is less expensive than replacing the entire glass window.

Condensation and cloudiness are usually the result of a broken seal on a double-glazed window. This could be due to various causes, including air leaks or door an excess amount of humidity in the home. As soon as you notice the problem, it's important to contact a double glazing expert to repair the seal and gas in your double-glazed windows.

It is possible to replace one pane of double glazing glass but it is not recommended to do it without the assistance of a professional. This is due to the fact that it requires specialized tools and the right expertise to complete the task safely. It is possible to damage the window frame, or your health if trying to do it yourself.

Many people use the crowbar to open their double-glazed window when it is stuck, but this will usually cause the window frame to be damaged and swollen. A specialist in window repairs can take the handle from your window and open it without causing further damage. They can also convert discontinued window mechanisms into more modern mechanisms.

As time passes, window hinges will become stiffer and difficult to open, particularly if the area is noisy. To prevent this from happening it is a good idea to lubricate the hinges regularly with silicone spray. It is also essential to avoid shutting the window with a heavy hand or closing it using the handles, as this can damage the hinges and lock mechanism.

Broken Sash

This is a common problem for older double glazing windows. It isn't easy to lock and open a window when the upper sash is not in of its pocket. This usually happens because the pins are not engaged or a balance shoe has been disconnected. Each sash is different, so it's important to know how yours is configured before you attempt to fix this.

It can be resolved by removing the sash, and cleaning it thoroughly. This will also reveal if the sash is still a good match. If not, you can add stoppers for sash to secure it. These can be purchased online or at most hardware stores. After cleaning the sash you can replace the parting beads and lubricate the pulley axles by using Teflon or silicon spray. Label the weights before removing them so you can reinstall them in the correct way.

A broken handle is a common problem. Window handles can be difficult to spot, but there are some telltale signs that yours is damaged. If the handle feels stiff or clunky to operate or does not feel like it's securely attached to the wall, then it's damaged.

This could be due to a simple lack of use, but it's possible that the handle has cracked or even become detached. In certain cases, the handle could be broken internally and unable to be replaced. However, it is still worthwhile to attempt to fix the issue as soon as you can.

It may be necessary to take off the hinges that hold the window sash to the frame in order to remove it. This can be a challenging job, so it's crucial to have someone to help hold the sash and ensure it is steady. After you have removed the hinges, it's important to clean them as well as the areas around them. Reattaching the hinges is a good idea. You can test the handle and check if it functions properly. If it's not it, you might want to look into replacing it. This will ensure that your window is as secure as possible.

Broken Handle

It's not unusual for window handles to break or weaken over time. Therefore, it's crucial that broken handles are repaired as fast as you can to avoid loss of functionality and security issues.

Fortunately, a window handle is fairly simple to replace. The window handle can be easily repaired by anyone with DIY skills. Unlike the sash which is secured by a number of bolts, it only requires two screws. It is important to test the handle after it is installed to ensure that it functions correctly. This includes locking the handle and checking for any gaps that could allow drafts to infiltrate your home or allow burglars to gain entry.

A common reason for a broken window handle is that it's simply worn down from repeated use. However the force or stress that is applied to it can cause a broken handle. Slamming or forcing a window open can place additional strain on the handle and increase the risk of damage, therefore it's always best to carry out all handling operations slowly and gently.

Other causes of a damaged hand include inadequate maintenance or aging, or design issues. A lack of regular cleaning and lubrication can cause the handle to break down quickly, and this is usually the result of dirt or debris that accumulates over time. The handle may also be damaged due to incorrect installation or issues with alignment.

If the previously mentioned fixes aren't working, the Tasker may need to gain access to and remove the lock mechanism itself. This may involve taking out the window frame or removing the plastic bead and frame (to make room). The replacement lock can then be installed to match the shape of the uPVC handle. The new handle will be attached and the process can be completed. Tasker will give you an estimate for the cost of the repair in the event that this is the case.

Faulty Lock

When window locks get damaged, it's vital to repair the issue as soon as possible. A damaged window could cause the door to open, causing draughts and make the home vulnerable to burglary. Window lock repairs are usually minor, but it is better to call a professional before the problem gets worse and cost you more money.

UPVC window handles are available in two styles including cockspur handles as well as espagnolette handles. The first utilizes an internal rod to operate mushroom shaped locking cams which lock into window frame keepers. The latter is equipped with an attached handle to a spindle. It protrudes into the rod to trigger the lock's mushroom-like locking cams that are also referred to as locking mushrooms. The lock's latch then clips into a window frame's mortise and catches.

Both kinds of UPVC window locks are prone to deterioration, particularly in older homes. This could happen when the sash is damaged, warped or misaligned. It can also come loose. In these instances the lock needs to be replaced in order to prevent draughts or loss of energy efficiency. Tasker can repair the broken lock for you, providing you with security of knowing that your windows are secure from burglars.

A Tasker will first examine the double glazing of your window to identify the issue. Once they have the necessary details, they'll set up their tools before arriving at your home. They'll typically bring a Phillips-head screwdriver, needle-nosepliers, wood putty and fine-grit sandpaper.

Tasker must loosen screws that hold both parts of the lock on the window frame if the sash isn't aligned properly. The Tasker will then remove the latch and then fill the mounting holes (if appropriate) with wood putty, before sanding the area to make it as flush as the rest.

If the lock is rusted, they'll clean it using a wire brush or oil and lubricate it with grease to keep it working smoothly. They'll also examine the condition of the latch before reinstalling it.
