Double Glazing Windows Repair
Double glazing window repair can solve various issues with your frames and windows. However, larger problems are best addressed by replacing the window.
Condensation and fogginess are the most frequent problems that require attention. A professional will reseal the seal and create vents to stop this from happening in the future.
Condensation
Double glazing is designed to provide insulation and help lower energy bills, but condensation can cause problems. If you notice visible condensation, it's a sign that the airtight seal has failed and a professional has to come out and take a look. It could be as simple as changing the seal or replacing the glass, or even installing a brand new window.
Visible condensation is the most typical issue with double-glazed windows, and is usually caused by moisture or humidity in the air. The water droplets form on cold surfaces. And when the windows are closed, the condensation can cause condensation and leave a layer of white fog or white frost. This is not a huge issue, but the frame and glass must be cleaned frequently to eliminate debris and dirt that could cause to wood decay or mould growth.
The most effective solution is to improve the ventilation in the home. Ensure the extractor fan is on when showering or cooking and also open a window when drying laundry. You can also reduce moisture levels by ensuring the window is properly sized (not too big or small). The gap between window panes shouldn't be more than 12mm to improve efficiency and reduce air infiltration.
If your windows are getting misty up it could be that they require replacement. A repair kit can be used to fix blown double glazing, but this will only correct the issue with the seal and will not solve any ice or condensation that has already formed inside the windowpanes. A local tradesperson could drill into the window and spray the inside with a cleaning solution which is then sucked out by a defogger.
A professional can fix misted windows by identifying the source. This will likely involve replacing the entire window, especially if there is mold or rot. Even though replacing a single window may seem expensive it will save money on energy and heating in the long run.
Blown
If water seeps in the gap between your double-glazed windows, it is likely due to a leak in the seal. This is known as a "blown" window which signifies that the window cannot be repaired. It must be replaced. It is a job best left to professionals since the damaged window can let cold air into your home, and warm air to escape, which can affect the efficiency of your home. A damaged window could cause condensation and dampness which is the reason it's crucial to have the problem dealt with immediately.
There are several reasons for why the seal between double-glazed windows might fail, but it is typically caused by age and general wear and tear. Moisture may leak through the seal, which can cause condensation and fogging.
