How to Repair Double Glazed Windows
Typically, double glazing comes with a warranty of either 10 or 20 years. If your double-glazed windows are showing signs of aging, you might be eligible to be fixed under warranty.
Double-glazed window repairs require replacing the existing glass unit. The seal isn't working properly in the event that you see misting.
Glass that is damaged
A seal that is airtight is vital for double pane windows to function properly. The most frequent sign that a seal is not working is when condensation forms between the glass plates. Condensation that forms between glass plates is not a major issue and can be corrected however it is a sign that your glazing unit needs replacing. If you have an older double-glazed window, it could require replacing both the glass and the frame. If your frame is in good condition, you may be able to save money by only replacing the glass.
Double-paned windows may develop cracks due to the fragility of glass. If the cracks were not caused by mechanical damage or a sudden impact on the window it is possible to repair them with epoxy and some elbow grease. Begin by cleaning over the cracked area with a damp cotton rag and then apply epoxy to the crack following the manufacturer's instructions. Let the epoxy completely dry before applying paint and sanding to the repaired area.
It's also possible to keep cracks from spreading with a simple strip of masking tape. A single strip of masking tape applied to the opposite side of the crack should be sufficient to prevent cracks that appear superficial from spreading, for instance stress-cracks caused by low temperatures. If you notice deeper cracks in your glass that are already present, it's best to contact a professional for the repair.
It's risky and difficult to replace a single pane within double-paned windows. Double-paned windows are manufactured as a unit and sealed with inert gas in the factory. Therefore, it is impossible to take off just the glass without damaging the window. If you plan to replace the glass in your double-paned windows select a brand that has a strong warranty.
You can also apply newspaper to protect the window frame prior to when you remove the sash or replace any broken glass. This will protect you from any glass shards that may fall during the process. It also protects against any damage to the trim or molding of your home.
Condensation Build-Up
It's good to know that condensation on windowspanes is normal. It's caused by a difference between air temperature and humidity levels, which causes water vapour to condense when it comes in contact with cold and impervious surfaces like windows. This is usually a good thing in winter, as it stops heat loss.
If your windows appear like they are cloudy and have a thin layer of water on them, it is time to call a professional glazier. This is a sign that the 'air gap seal between the two glass panes has started to degrade and is allowing moisture to enter the window.
You can stop this by making use of dehumidifiers, increasing ventilation, or applying de-icing agents. There are also companies that will remove excess moisture from double-glazed windows by drilling into the frame and injecting desiccant. This is a more complex procedure that requires the unit to be removed from the frame, and then opening each pane of glass to clean them thoroughly, then refilling with desiccant before sealing them up. This is typically more expensive, however it's worth checking that any company you use is fully insured and registered with FENSA.
