Double Glazed Window Repair

Double glazing is an excellent energy efficient investment that prevents heat loss in the winter and helps to keep your home cooler during the summer. Repairing your double-glazed windows whenever required is a great method to ensure they remain in good condition.

Over time, your double glazed windows can suffer from problems like condensation and misting. Double glazed windows can be difficult to open and close.

Broken Panes

A unruly ball, a flying stone from your lawnmowers or a storm that is strong enough can break your double pane windows which can expose your home to the elements. While a damaged window may be difficult to fix but you don't need to replace it entirely. The insulated glass that is between two glass panes is still in good shape, so you can repair your double-paned window yourself.

To start, you'll need to take the broken glass out of the frame. This will be a messy job, and you'll want to be careful to stop any glass fragments from falling onto the floor or falling out of the frame. Make sure to wear a pair of work gloves to shield your hands from injury and a cloth to protect the area surrounding the broken glass to prevent further breakage or cuts. After removing the broken pane take care to clean the entire frame of the window to remove any remaining sealant and debris. It is important to sand rough areas of the frame to ensure an even surface for your new glass.

Once the frame is cleaned then you can apply a new layer of glazing to the place in which the broken pane was removed. This is the best way to protect and seal your window, and will reduce your energy bills by preventing water and drafts from entering your home. The next step is to select your glazing material. Some options include clear tape, which is a bit more robust than regular tape and can keep your window from further cracking, and glazing film that resembles clear plastic wrap. The benefit of this option is that it can be painted over to match your frame, and it will keep snow and rain out too.

Regardless of the material you pick regardless of the material you choose, it is essential to press glazier's facets into the place where the putty joins the frame. These will hold the newly-formed glass in place and help it adhere to the frame. You can find glazier's points in hardware stores, and they are available in pre-made ropes which you roll out onto the frame rabbets.

Condensation

Double glazing is susceptible to condensation issues and if you experience this problem it is best to contact the company that supplied the window. Many companies provide warranties and guarantees that provide coverage for these issues. Fogging or condensation on the windows' panes is a sign that your seals aren't working properly. Only a professional can resolve this issue by replacing the panes.

This process is a little tricky and requires specific tools to remove the old pane and install the new one, but it can be accomplished by a professional who will provide the necessary equipment. It is best to leave the work to a professional. These tools could be risky.

Wear safety glasses and gloves if you decide to do it yourself. You may be exposed to flying glass fragments. It is crucial to remove all metal or putty points from the grooves that will receive the new window. Wire-brushing the frame or vacuuming it with a damp cloth is also recommended. After the frame has dried you'll have to purchase another piece of glass that is 1/8" shorter in both directions than the existing window. Make sure the glass fits into the grooves.

Based on the frame you have, you will then need to apply the caulk to the grooves to ensure that your new pane is secure in the right place. After the silicone caulk is dried you can smooth it out and make any adjustments. The wood molding can be put back in place.

Double glazed windows can be difficult to open and close in the event of extreme weather. Extreme temperatures can cause the frames to shrink or expand and cause them to fall or stick. Try wiping the frames with water and then lubricating them when this happens, but it may be better to consult the company who installed your windows.

Misted

Misted Double Glazing is a window problem that develops when moisture gets trapped between the glass panes of your double glazed windows. Double glazing is made up of two panes that are separated by a gap filled with argon to improve thermal efficiency. This creates an airtight seal that keeps warm air inside and cold outdoor air outside and allows you to keep your temperature at a comfortable level in your home.

In time, however, this seal can break down and moisture will begin to build up between the windows, causing them to turn misty. This happens because the sun's rays heat the gap between the panes of windows, causing water to vapourize.

It is a natural phenomenon, but if it occurs between the windows' panes it could cause problems because it won't be able to regulate the temperature within the room. Instead the temperature outside the window will influence the temperature inside. If you notice your double-glazed windows have become cloudy, contact the experts at Northfield Glass to investigate.

We can replace a single blow sealed unit, without needing to replace the entire window. This is less disruptive than a full replacement. Our misty glass repair involves taking off and cleaning the glass and replacing it with a new one. This will create a watertight seal and will be watertight.

There are companies in the field which claim to cut holes into your existing misted windows and inject chemicals into them which they say removes the condensation and fog but we do not recommend this procedure. This method isn't just unsightly but could also damage the toughened glass leaving you with a window that doesn't function properly.

It is essential to address the issue as soon as you can, because if left untreated, it can cause mould growth that not only damages the window, but also poses health risks for your family. The moisture in the window may cause other issues in your home like damp or rot. In some instances windows, they may have to be replaced completely.

While it is a natural phenomenon, it doesn't mean your window has failed but it could be an indication that you have to re-seal your windows. Condensation may also be a sign that your double glazing is damaged in which case it will need to be replaced completely.

A draught can be quite evident and can result in higher heating bills, so it is important that you get this fixed sooner rather than later. You can test the seals by placing your finger around the edges of the window frame to see if you feel any cold air.

There will also be water beads on the outside of windows when your window seals aren't working. This is a clear indication that you will need to seal your double-glazed windows.

The frames of your windows are designed to move a bit in order to do in order to keep the glass sheets in place. In time, this special packaging material may be compressed. This could cause the seal to be broken. This allows air to flow between the panes and reduce the energy efficiency of your window.
