Double Glazing Windows Repairs
Double glazing is the usage of two panes in frames or openings in a wall. The window glass can become faulty at times and may require repairs.
If you've noticed condensation between your windows, or a noticeable draft, or handles and hinges become difficult to open, this could be an indication that your double glazing requires repair. The repair typically involves an entire reseal of the unit.
Broken Panes
Double-glazed windows are made up of two glass panes with an air space between them, which is filled with inert gasses such as Krypton and argon. This helps to keep the heat in your home and prevent cold drafts and moisture from escaping. Sometimes, installers windows will be damaged, and the whole window may require replacement. It is crucial to call the company that sold you the double glazing in the event that you spot a chip or crack in the window.
A few easy steps can be taken to fix a damaged window pane, but it is not recommended you attempt repairs on your own unless you're a skilled DIYer. Put on some gloves first and carefully remove the damaged window pane. If the pane is cracked, use masking tape in a crisscrossing pattern over the cracks. This will prevent the cracks from getting more severe over time, particularly during the winter. It is also recommended to cover the work area with newspaper in the event that any broken pieces fall off. After the broken pane has been removed using a putty knife, you can use it to scrape off any glazing putty and the glazed window seal. Remove the glazing points with pliers. Then, you can coat the unfinished wood with an easy-drying primer.
If you are able to buy a new replacement pane you can measure the length and width of the grooved channel with a tape measure. Subtract 1/8'' from both measurements to allow for some movement of the new pane. Then, you can roll a thin rope of glazing compound into the channels that have grooves and slide the replacement glass into place. Tap the glass gently with an hammer each 6" or 8" to aid in setting it in its place. Be careful not to break it.
If you have a double-glazing warranty, it's often worth attempting to utilize this to avoid the expense of a complete replacement window. In general the warranty will cover the cost of the components and labor. It is important to check the terms of your guarantee as it will vary from one company to another so be sure to understand what is covered and when.
Foggy Glass
Condensation between the panes of your double glazing could cause foggy glass. It could be due to many things, such as variations in temperature, poorly installed frames, or the deteriorating seals.
In the majority of cases, double glazing installers are able to fix this problem quickly and easily. It is recommended to contact the company that installed your windows right away if you notice any problems. Contact them by writing a response. This will make it easier in the event that you need to contact them again later on - and can prove very helpful when the issue is covered under your warranty or guarantee.
The best way to fix the fogging is to replace the gasket seals. This can be done without having to replace the entire window unit, and will also aid in keeping your home energy efficient. To accomplish this, the window glazier will remove any clips or strips that hold the IGU in place and then cut through the sealant with the aid of a saw.
They'll then design or order an IGU to fit the frame, and then they'll apply special sealants to make sure it's air - and watertight. When they're done installing the clips, they'll either reinstall them or strip them and apply more sealant.
If you're lucky, the misting may stop after this. It's still important to ensure your frames are ventilated properly so that moisture doesn't accumulate in your walls and ceilings.
Double glazing owners have also reported that their windows and doors are difficult to open and close. This could be due to extreme weather conditions, or simply because the frame has become sagging over time and isn't flush with the rest your home. If this is the case, try wiping the frames with cold water in order to shrink them down slightly - but it's unlikely to solve the issue completely. If you're unable to resolve the issue, you might require a professional to replace the frames.
