Can Double Glazed Windows Be Repaired?
If you have recently had double glazing installed in your home and they are beginning to show signs of failing you may be wondering if they could be repaired.
You may be able to claim your double glazing under warranty based on the issue and the date when you bought it.
Broken Panes
When a window pane is broken or cracked air can flow through more easily. This can reduce the effectiveness of the window as an insulation barrier and also against the elements. Based on the season this could cause hot or cold air to enter or escape your home, which can increase heating and cooling costs.
If the crack in the double glazing isn't too deep, it might be possible to simply apply a strong-hold tape. This is a temporary fix however, and it will only stop the crack from growing. A professional window repair service can repair any damaged glass on your double-glazed windows.
The process of replacing a damaged window pane by yourself can be tricky and dangerous. If the crack is extensive and difficult to remove Try applying strips of masking tape in a crisscrossing design. If the crack isn't too large, you can hold it steady and use a razor to cut it off from the frame. Make sure to wear gloves and a mask when cutting glass. Once the pane is free, you will need to place it flat on several layers of newspaper to keep any pieces that fall.
To install a new pane you will need to purchase replacement glass and then prepare the frame. Measure the opening of the frame and subtract 1/16 to 1/8 inch in both directions to ensure that the new pane is a good fit. Cut your replacement glass at a local hardware store or glass shop to this measurement. If you have wood frames, you can purchase glaziers' points at hardware stores to put around the edges of your new pane. Place the points in a way they can allow for expansion and contraction, while keeping the putty in place against the glass.
After your new pane has been placed and you are happy with it, apply a thick layer of your chosen glazing compound using the help of a putty knife. You can use a linseed oil-based putting like Sarco or a lesser product like Dap glazing compound. Fill in any gaps between the frame and the new pane using the compound you choose. Smooth the compound over the new pane to ensure it is even and level.
Water Leaks
The appearance of water leaks around the frame or sash is a common issue that can occur when the window sealant has degraded and requires replacement. Water leaks around windows can damage the plaster or drywall and cause damp walls.
A double-glazed window of good quality will come with a gasket that expands with force when the sash is closed. Any water that gets into the area should be drained out through the weep holes located in the bottom of the frame. Sometimes, the weep hole may be blocked by dirt and other debris. Also, the weather stripping might need to be replaced.
The lintel that is above the window can be an area of leaks. The installers who built the house may not have understood that the lintel needs to be allowed to drain properly, or they may have simply clad it with concrete leaving an opening where rainwater could be able to enter and collect around the window causing dampness in the wall or wood rot. The installers should have placed the fascia boards in a slant above the window to ensure that water is directed correctly and this will stop water from entering the building through these gaps.
A gap between the glass panes of a double-glazed window could also be a cause of leaks. It is possible that the gas argon or krypton that should be between the glass to create insulation has escaped of the windows because of a worn out seal. While this isn't the most serious issue with leaky windows, it will impact on energy efficiency and should be dealt with as soon as it is possible. In this instance double glazing replacement might be required. A professional can complete an extensive evaluation, let you know the source of the leak from and suggest solutions. They will be able to tell you whether it is appropriate to repair the window or replace it completely. They will also provide an estimate for any work that is required.

The most obvious evidence of condensation is the appearance of droplets of water forming on the glass surface. These droplets will disappear quickly when the window is heated by sunlight. However, if the problem persists, it's worth looking further.
It is also possible to hear water drip. This is most likely caused by a leak in the seal between the two glass panes. Repairs are highly recommended if there is this sound.

If this occurs, it is possible that simple fixes will assist, but in many instances, the best option is to replace the upvc window repair.
Most double glazed windows have an "espacer" bar that is placed between the two glass panes. The spacer bar is stuffed with desiccant, which absorbs any moisture that might be present, thereby preventing it from reaching the glass panes and creating condensation. This bar is susceptible to breaking or cracking and it's often necessary to replace the entire window.
You can repair some of the issues yourself with the right tools. However, it is usually better to hire someone who is trained to do this. This will not only save you a great amount of time, but it will also ensure that your double glazing is repaired properly and of the best quality possible.

Certain IGUs also contain a gas like argon, which helps keep heat from leaving your home, thereby saving you on energy costs.
