Double Glazing Window Repair

Over time, double glazing can cause problems, like being difficult to open windows or a door that is snagged. These issues are easily solved.

Many homeowners will try to fix these problems themselves. However, this should be left to experts. If you attempt to fix this without the proper tools and knowledge can lead to damage.

Broken Panes

A broken window pane can be a frustrating and inconvenient issue. It could let hot or cold air into your home, and leave a gap which lets in moisture or debris. This can also reduce the efficiency of your AC or furnace will have to work harder to keep your home cool. You might be able depending on the weather conditions and if your windows are single-paned or double paned, to repair the damage for a short period of time by applying silicone sealant. However the final solution will require expert assistance.

A window replacement that is cracked can be fixed with heavy-duty tape. A tape strip placed over the crack will stop it from getting worse. However cracks that extend all the way through the glass or one that is too large to be covered by tape will have to be completely replaced.

Broken glass can be caused by many things: a pebble from a lawnmower that hits the window; a drink set down too heavily on a glass-topped table; or a pet's excited jump when you open the door. It can also occur naturally as the frames of your windows move slightly over time, breaking the special packaging material that holds the glass sheets in place.

Wear thick work gloves when you've broken a pane of glass. Set up a cardboard box near the pane to catch any fragments. Then remove the frame's sash and work on a flat surface such as tables. Wear a mask so as not to breathe in the glass shattering.

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

Then, you can measure the opening of a new glass. To allow for expansion and contracting it is recommended to purchase a replacement glass that is slightly smaller than the opening. You can have your local hardware store or home center cut it according to these dimensions.

Place the glass into the frame. If there are any gaps, fill them in with silicone caulk which is available at a local home improvement store. Smooth the caulk with a putty blade. Add glazier's points to corners of the glass and frame around every six inches, so that they keep the pane in the frame.

Condensation

Condensation can happen on double-glazed windows, whether they are brand new. This is particularly true in winter when colder air meets warm glass. It can be a problem but it's not typically a big problem. This is because condensation on windows indicates that your double glazing is functioning properly.

However, it could be a sign that the seal is not working and water is leaking through the gaps between the window panes. If you notice a milky look on your window, or if you notice that water beads appear on its surface, this needs to be addressed to stop the growth of mold, mildew, or any further damage.

Luckily condensation can be eliminated quickly. A technician will drill a small number of holes in the window frame, which allows the trapped moisture to be released. This is referred to as defogging, and it can be used to get rid of the stains caused by moisture that has been trapped.

Defogging does not fix the underlying issue of a faulty window seal. In fact, it might not even in the event that the condensation is gone, since the damaged air between the panes remains. This could mean you are not getting as much heat insulation as you should from your windows.

It's important to consult an expert as soon you notice moisture in your windows to determine the next steps. They may recommend solutions such as adding vents in the windows that allow fresh air to enter but do not allow warm air to escape.
