Double Glazed Window Repair

Double glazing is an excellent energy efficient investment that prevents loss of heat in winter and helps to keep your home cooler during the summer. Double glazing windows repaired as needed is a great method to ensure they are operating properly.

Over time condensation and misting could impact your double-glazed windows. This can cause your double-glazed windows to be difficult to open or shut.

Broken Panes

A ball that is rogue, a flying stone from your lawnmower or even an intense storm could shatter your double pane windows which can expose your home to the elements. Even though a glass window that has been damaged is difficult to repair but it doesn't have to be replaced. The insulated glass between two panes of glass is in good condition and you can fix your double-paned windows yourself.

To begin, you'll need to remove the broken glass from the frame. This can be a messy job, and you'll want to take care to prevent glass shards from falling on the floor or slipping out of the frame. Wear work gloves to protect your hands and use an abrasive cloth around the damaged glass area to prevent further damage or cuts. After taking out the broken glass, clean the frame of the window thoroughly to remove any sealant or debris. It is essential to smooth rough areas of the frame to ensure an even surface for your new glazing.

After cleaning the frame then you can apply a new layer of glass to the area where the broken pane was removed. This is the most effective way to ensure that your window is secure and sealed, and it will save you money by stopping drafts and water from entering the house. The next step is to choose the glazing material. There are a variety of options, including clear tape that is more durable than regular tape and can keep your window secure from further cracking, and glazing film that is similar to clear plastic wrap. This option has the advantage that it can be painted to match your frame and will also keep out rain and ice.

Whatever the material you pick regardless of the material you select, it is crucial to press glazier's points into the place where the putty joins the frame. They will help keep the glass in place, and aid in adhering to the frame. Hardware stores carry glazier's point ropes that you can roll out onto the frame rabbets.

Condensation

Double glazing can be prone to condensation issues and if you encounter this issue, it is recommended to contact the company that provided the window. Many companies provide warranties and guarantees that provide coverage for the issues. Fogging or condensation on the windows' panes is a sign that your seals are broken. Only an expert can fix this issue by replacing both panes.

It is essential to take out all metal or putty points from the grooves that will be receiving the new window. Wire-brushing the frame, vacuuming or wiping with a damp cloth is also recommended. Once the frame is clean and dry you'll need to purchase a replacement glass that is 1/8 inch shorter in each direction than the window, and then test it in the grooves.

Based on the frames you have, you will then need to apply a layer of silicone caulk to the grooves in order to ensure that your new pane is secure in place. Once the caulk has dried, you will need to smooth it out and make any needed adjustments. The wood molding can be put back in place.

If the weather abruptly changes, double-glazed windows may become difficult to open and close. Extreme temperatures can cause the frames to expand or shrink and, as a result, they can sag or stick. Try wiping the frames with water and lubricating them if this is the case however, it's better to seek advice from the company who installed your windows.

Misunderstood

Misted Double Glazing is a window problem that occurs when moisture gets trapped between the glass panes of double glazed windows. Double glazing consists of two glass panes that are separated by an insulating space, typically filled with argon gas to provide better thermal efficiency. This results in an airtight seal that keeps warm air inside and cold air outside.

As time passes, the seal can break down and moisture will start to build up between the windows, causing them to become cloudy. This happens because the space between the panes is heated by the sun, which causes water vapour to develop within it.

This is a normal thing to happen but if it happens between the window panes, it can cause a problem as it will no longer be able to control the temperature in the room and allow the outside temperature to affect the indoor temperature.
