Double Glazing Repair – Why It’s Important

Double glazing is increasingly becoming popular due to its ability to offer insulation and reduce energy costs. The two panes of glass that create a gap filled with a gas or air provide better insulation against sound and heat. However, damages to your double glazing can compromise the insulation, and in turn, lead to higher energy bills, chilly draughts and reduced noise protection. That’s why it’s essential to get it repaired as soon as possible.

Common Double Glazing Repair Issues

Double glazing can develop a range of problems, including draughts, water leaks, condensation, and misting between the panes of glass. These issues can make your windows look unsightly and reduce their effectiveness. Thus, the need for regular maintenance by an experienced glazier. Here are some common double glazing issues and how we can fix them:

1. Draughts – These are cold currents of air that seep through small gaps in the window frames, which make the room colder and leads to high energy bills. We can help fix this by fitting a draught seal.

2. Leaks – Water seeping into the house through the double glazing window panes, causing dampness and mold. We can seal this with weather-resistant silicone.

3. Condensation – An accumulation of moisture on the surface of the window panes, making the glass look misty. We can restore the clarity of the glass by replacing the panes.

4. Misting – When moisture sticks between the panes, it becomes tricky to clear as the window typically has to be replaced.
