Double Glazing Windows Repair

Double glazing window repair can resolve a variety of problems with your frames and windows. However, more serious issues can be resolved by replacing the window.

Fogginess and condensation are the most frequently encountered problems that require attention. Professionals will reseal the area and install vents to stop this from happening again.

Condensation

Double glazing is designed to cut down on energy costs and also provide insulation, but condensation can be a problem. If you notice visible condensation, the airtight sealing is failing. A professional should come to inspect the area. This can be a simple situation of changing the seal, replacing the glass or even putting in a new window.

Visible condensation is the most frequent problem with double glazed windows, and is usually caused by humidity or moisture in the air. The water droplets form on cold surfaces and when windows are closed, they may build up and create a layer of white fog or white frost. This isn't a major issue, but the frame and glass must be cleaned frequently to eliminate residues and dirt that can lead to wood decay or mould growth.

The primary solution is to improve the ventilation in the home. Make sure the extractor fan is on while you shower or cook and also open a window when drying laundry. The proper size window can also help to reduce the amount of moisture (not too big or small). The gap between the window panes should be no greater than 12mm in order to allow more energy efficiency and to prevent air infiltration.

If your windows are leaking or smears up it could be that they require replacement. Double glass can be repaired using an repair kit, however it will only fix the seal. It won't remove any ice or condensation that has already formed on the window panes. A local tradesman can drill into the window, spray an agent to clean it, and then use a defogger to remove it.

The best way to fix misted windows is to get an expert to look at the problem their office, as they will be able to fix the root cause of the problem. This will likely require replacing the entire window, particularly when there is rot or mold present. A single window replacement may be expensive, but it can save you a lot of money in heating and energy costs over the long-term.
