Double Glazing Windows Repairs

Double glazing is the term used to describe panes of glass within frames for windows or walls opening. Sometimes, the window glass is damaged and requires repairs.

Broken Panes

Double glazed windows consist of two glass panes that have an air gap that is filled with inert gases such as argon or krypton. This keeps the heat in your home while preventing cold drafts and moisture from getting in. Sometimes the windows may be damaged, and the entire window will require replacement. If you notice cracks or chips on the window it is important to contact the company who sold you the double glazing as soon as possible to report the problem and ask about a repair.

It is possible to fix the glass pane that has broken with just a few steps, but it is not recommended unless you are experienced in DIY. Put on some gloves first and carefully remove the broken window pane. If it is cracked, apply strips of masking tape across the cracks in a crisscross pattern. This will stop the cracks from getting more severe as time passes, especially in the winter. It is also advisable to cover the work surface with newspapers to prevent any broken pieces from falling. After the broken pane is removed, use a putty blade to scrape off any glazing putty and the glazed window seal. Remove the glazing points with pliers. Then, use a primer that dries quickly to cover the wood surface.

Find the length and width of the grooved channels using a tape. Subtract 1/8'' from both measurements to allow for some movement of the new pane. Then, you can roll a thin rope of glazing compound into the channels with grooves and then slide the glass into place. Tap the glass gently using a hammer every 6" or 8" to help it set in place. Be careful not to break it.

If you have a double glazing warranty, it's worth attempting to utilize this in order to avoid the cost of a replacement window. In general the warranty will cover the cost of the replacement parts and labour. It is important to check the details of your guarantee as they will differ from one company to the next so be sure to are aware of the coverage and when.

Foggy Glass
