Double Glazed Windows Repairs

As time passes, your double glazed windows will begin to exhibit signs that they require repair. Some of these signs include drafts entering the window or misting and condensation on windows.

You can solve these problems without replacing your entire window unit, and save money on your energy bills.

Broken Panes

A pebble from a lawnmower or a baseball that is toss by your children or even an accident at work can cause a crack in the glass of your double-glazed window. In contrast to single-pane windows glazing features an airtight seal that protects the gas from being insulated between two panes of glass. So, if a damaged pane leaves your home with a space in the frame, it is essential to replace it.

In just a few steps, you can set up the new window pane. First the old glass and the wood around it should be removed from the frame. The new pane should then be positioned inside the frame opening and pressed down using silicone caulk.

Window putty is used to close the gap between the frame and the new pane. It can be applied using the help of a blade for putty, and then smoothed by a different one. Window putty is also an adhesive that helps keep the new pane in place. If your double-glazed windows have wood moldings, you may require a chisel to take any varnish or paint from the grooves where the moldings fit.

Before installing a new window, ensure you are wearing a pair of gloves that are thick to avoid cuts when working with glass. Next, scrape away any remaining window glass using a knife. Finally, measure the opening for the new window. For Jere Alas a wooden frame you should subtract 1/16 inch from each measurement to take into account the expansion and contraction of wood. Metal frames should be treated in the same way to ensure the replacement glass fits comfortably.

It is possible that the seals in between the glass panes can also fail during repairs that are double-glazed. This can lead to condensation or a misty gap. This issue can be fixed by a technician who drills small holes in the frame. He or she will then pipe hot air into the gap to dry it, and seal it.

It is best to leave the task of fixing double-glazed windows to an expert. To avoid injury, it's recommended to leave the work to an expert.

Foggy Windows

The window seal, also referred to as the gasket or window seal, is responsible for securing the air between two panes of double glazing. It also stops drafts as well as moisture and sound. But over time, this window seal may lose its effectiveness or shrink. This is because of the natural expansion and contraction of the window as it moves through various temperatures and weather conditions all through the year.

Foggy windows are a sign that the air-tight seal between the two panes of your window are failing. This can allow humidity from outside to enter and build up between the glass panes, creating an appearance of frosted, wet that is difficult to wipe clean.

There are a few options to fix this issue without removing your double-glazing. One option is to 'defog' the window in place by drilling tiny holes and injecting a cleaning solution between the glass panes. This is a temporary solution, as the solution will only remove the fog, not replace the inert gases between the glass panes. It won't also restore any energy efficiency that has been lost due to the deterioration of seals.

Another alternative is to replace the insulated glass unit (IGU). This will provide you with clean, clear, fog-free windows and restore any loss in energy efficiency. This will cost more than just fixing the IGU, but it's an option that is more durable.

There is also a chance that the wood frame of your door or window may be rotting and need to be replaced. This is a major repair and could be costly and replacing the damaged frames will give you a fresh start and will stop any the entry of more moisture into your home.

Condensation between the Panes

Condensation is a natural phenomenon that happens when warm air comes in contact with the cool surface. Water vapour in air condenses, forming liquid droplets. While condensation that forms on the surface of a double-glazed window is easy to wipe away the moisture that forms between glass panes can be more difficult to remove, and could cause the growth of mould or damage the glass itself.

The moisture that forms between your windows could be caused by many things such as fluctuating temperatures, high humidity, and broken seals. Older windows are more susceptible to this issue than newer ones with improved sealing technology.

It is important to remember that while the formation of condensation on the glass of your window must not be ignored, this can easily be fixed without the need to replace the entire unit. In many cases this problem, it is caused by a leak in the gas seal, or vacuum, that is located around the inner and outer frames of your windows.

A professional can examine your window and determine if the seals require repairs or replaced. If the seals need to be replaced, it will restore your windows' ability insulate heat or cold, resulting lower energy costs.

To resolve this issue, a professional can drill holes in the inner and outer window to expel the water that has accumulated inside. It could take anywhere from one to three days for the moisture to completely evaporate out of the window. After this is completed the window can then be sealed and fitted with vents that allow the windows to naturally expel air and moisture.

It is important to make sure that your windows are maintained and sealed to avoid this issue. This can be accomplished by hiring a professional who will conduct regular maintenance on your double glazing.

Frames that are damaged

Sometimes, the frames of double glazing may be damaged and require repair. Repairs to these frames will require the expertise of a professional. Most of these types are cheaper than having to replace windows. They will also be more efficient in terms of energy consumption.

One of the most common problems is when water enters into the frame of a double-glazed unit and results in condensation. This happens when the seal made of rubber that keeps the insulating space clear of water breaks and tiny holes begin to appear. It can happen due to various reasons. Most often seals wear out or a small amount moisture is trapped between the panes.

If you notice an issue the first thing you need to do is contact the business from which you bought your double glazing. They will examine the issue and, if the problem is covered under warranty, they will arrange to have the unit replaced for you.

It's also healthier for the environment and will help you to save money on your energy costs.

In certain cases, the window frame might need to be completely replaced. It could be due to damage or windows are worn out and no longer energy efficient. If the window can't be repaired, it's recommended to replace it with a window that is similar to the design.
