Double Glaze Repair Modern double glazing keeps us warm and secure but can cause a range of nagging problems as time passes. This includes draughts between panes and condensation as well as fogging. Many of these problems can be fixed easily by an expert. This allows your window to breathe, improve the thermal performance of your home and help you save on heating costs. Draughts Double glazing issues are commonplace, regardless of whether you have aluminium or uPVC double glazing. Most of the time, they are minor issues such as doors or windows that are stuck or have a lock issue, handle issues or misted glass, but they can be more severe like a window that is leaky that isn't closing or a damaged seal. Some of them can be fixed easily at home, like a stuck door or window but others will require the expertise of a professional and may require replacement. Many of these small problems could be caused by a build-up of condensation which could cause gaps between frames to appear. This can result in the cold air getting into your home and increasing your energy costs. You can solve this issue by wiping the frames down with a damp towel to remove moisture and allow material to shrink. If this doesn't work then you could try a draught excluder that is available in many forms such as foam strips and brush seals which are simply inserted into the gaps to prevent cold air from entering your property. Leaking windows could be a more serious issue. It can happen when the seals that join the frame to the aperture are damaged or worn out. It is also possible to repair them by cleaning out the drainage area to eliminate any debris, or by replacing the seals. Verify your warranty. Many companies offer a guarantee that covers these types problems for a period of 10, 20 or even 30 years, and sometimes for a lifetime. It is also worth looking into having your double glazed windows professionally draught-proofed after any minor problems have been addressed. This can increase the insulation of your home, decrease noise, and lower the cost of energy. This will make your home more comfortable and stop condensation from forming on the glass panes that are inside of your units, which can damage seals. You can also upgrade to energy-efficient A-rated glass and cut down on heating costs. Smudging Double glazing can boost your home's insulation, making it more comfortable and warm. It is not indestructible, and will need to be fixed over time. Fortunately, many of the issues that arise from double glazing are easily fixed and there's no reason to replace your windows or doors entirely. One of the most common problems that people experience with double glazing is that it becomes difficult to open and close. It can be due to a variety of factors, such as the frames shrinking or expanding slightly depending on the weather and temperature. The hinges and handles can be worn out making it difficult to operate windows and doors. Smudging can also be a problem with double glazing and this happens when a build-up of dust or dirt on the window seals cause them to turn opaque. This can be caused by condensation between the panes. It is important to address the issue before it gets any worse. Window seals can be cleaned easily with a clean damp cloth. This will get rid of any surface dirt and abrasions and can be used on the frame's interior and on the outside. It is recommended to avoid using anything too abrasive to clean the rubber seals, since it may damage them. Make sure you use a cloth that is in line with your window frames, if you have them. This will keep the rubber seals from getting marked. Condensation and misting are signs that your double-glazed unit is not retaining the insulating gases between the panes. This indicates that the window isn't doing its job and could increase the cost of heating. This can be very expensive, so if you do have a window that is not functioning properly, it's important to get it fixed as soon as possible. Luckily, the majority of problems with double glazing can be solved by experts in double glazing repair . They can repair broken panes, drafty windows and even foggy window glass. They can upgrade your double-glazed units to A-rated energy-efficient products, which will further reduce your energy bills. Mist Double glazing offers excellent insulation, soundproofing and looks fantastic when they're in good working order. If they're not maintained correctly they'll quickly deteriorate and turn hazy or misty. This can reduce the thermal efficiency and make them look like a shabby look. If double-glazed windows begin to mist, it is an indication that the seals are faulty. It could be caused by inadequate installation, deterioration, or moisture within the sealed unit (sometimes called the 'blown' double glazed window). The cause is usually condensation and humidity levels inside the home, however it could also be due to old seals that are worn out. This is most common in older aluminium framed double glazing, however modern plastic-framed units can also have problems with this. There is a way to solve the issue by replacing the double-glazed glass unit and it's a lot less expensive than installing new windows.

But, this isn't a permanent solution and can damage the window. It is best to use only experienced and approved installers to install your double-glazed windows and doors. Keep copies of your warranties, contracts and documents of payment. If you experience problems with your new double glazing in the future, this will be extremely helpful in getting a refund from your installer in the event of a need. It is recommended to perform regular cleaning and maintenance of your windows to ensure the seals are kept in top condition. Follow these simple tips and your double glazing will last for many years. Don't ignore any issues since they'll only make them worse. It is always better to tackle problems early, before they become costly repairs or replacement jobs. Condensation Double-glazed windows are constructed by two glass panes separated by an air layer typically argon. This can improve the efficiency of your home and keeps warm during colder seasons. However condensation in double-glazed windows can be a problem. Condensation occurs when there are temperature differences between the air and glazed window panes. It can occur at night or during periods of extreme cold. The condensation will then be seen as droplets on the windows' surface. Fortunately, this is not necessarily an indication that your windows are not functioning properly. However, it is important to remember that this can also be an indication of poor air circulation within your home. Another reason for condensation to form is that moisture can be trapped between the panes of your double glazed window. This can lead to the growth of damp and mould inside your home that may be difficult or impossible to get rid of without replacing your windows. In the event that you do notice a problem with condensation, it's advisable to contact your installer and file an claim under the warranty that was provided when you purchased your double-glazed. Double glazed windows that are misty can hinder the efficiency of your home's heating and cooling. This means that your heating will be used to heat the area around the window, instead of to keep you warm. The majority of double-glazed windows that are cloudy can't be fixed because the seal between two glass panes is damaged. However, it could be an ideal time to upgrade your windows to an energy efficient unit. Before attempting to repair double glazing yourself it is essential that you have the correct tools and equipment. This requires windows that are cleaned, that should include rubber gloves, a meter to test resistance, and a squeegee to remove water. These tools can be used to clean double-glazed windows making sure that they are watertight and the seals are strong. You can also make use of a gasket roller to help push new seals into the corners of your double glazing.
