double glazing repairs near me (click through the next post)

Double glazing can improve the appearance and value of your home. Over time, UPVC windows may develop issues that require repair.

These issues can cause leaks, draughts and condensation if they are not taken care of. Many of these issues can be resolved without having to replace the entire window.

Broken panes

A baseball that breaks or a sudden storm can cause a double-pane window to break and expose your home to the elements. While you can replace a single pane of glass yourself however, the best solution is to replace both windows to ensure your energy efficiency. You can repair a cracked glass window with a few simple tools and techniques.

Tape the window to stop it from fracturing any further. This will accomplish two goals: it stabilises and prevents air from blowing through the gap.

Take off the old glazing with a utility blade. Wear gloves and safety glasses to prevent cuts. Scrape the surface around the window, and remove any glaziers' points made of metal (the tiny clips which hold the window frames together) If present. Finally, measure the opening of the new pane of glass and subtract an eighth of an inch from all sides. This will ensure that your new pane fits perfectly in the frame.
