Broken Panes

A stray ball or a flying pebble from your lawnmowers, or even a severe storm can break the double panes of your windows and expose your home to the elements. Although a window that is cracked can be difficult to repair however, you don't have to replace it entirely. In fact, the insulated glass between the two panes remains in good shape, and you can fix your double-pane window repairs using a little DIY effort.

First, you'll need to remove any broken glass from the frame. You'll need to be cautious to keep glass shards from falling to the floor or falling from the frame. Use a pair of gloves to protect your hands, and a rag to protect the area surrounding the broken glass to prevent further damage or breaks. After removing the broken piece take care to clean the entire frame of the window to remove any remaining sealant or debris. It is important to sand rough areas of the frame to create a smooth surface for your new glazing.

After cleaning the frame, you can apply another layer of glass on the seam where you removed the broken pane. This is the most effective way to ensure that your window is sealed and protected and aid in reducing energy costs by preventing drafts and water from entering the house. The next step is to choose the material for your glazing. There are a variety of options, including clear tape that is more durable than regular tape and can keep your window safe from further cracking, as well as glazing film that is similar to clear plastic wrap. The benefit of this type of material is that it can be painted over to match your existing frame and will also keep out rain and snow too.

Whatever the material you choose regardless of the material you select, it is crucial to press glazier's facets into the seam where the putty meets the frame. These will hold the new glass in place and help it adhere to the frame. Glazier's points can be found in hardware stores, and are available in pre-made ropes which you roll out onto the frame rabbets.

Condensation

If you have a problem with condensation, it's best to contact the window manufacturer. Many have warranties and guarantees to address these problems.

It is essential to take out any putty or metal glazing points from the grooves that will be receiving the new window. You should also brush the frame with wire, and then vacuum or wipe it with a damp cloth. When the frame is dry and clean, you will need to purchase a replacement glass which is 1/8 inch less in each direction than your window that you have and then fit it into the grooves.

Depending on your frames, you will then need to apply a thin layer of silicone caulk on the grooves to ensure that the new pane is securely in position. After the silicone caulk is dried and cured, you can smooth it out and make any necessary adjustments. The wood molding can be put back in place.

Misted

Misted Double Glazing is a window issue that develops when moisture gets trapped between the glass panes of your double glazed windows. Double glazing consists of two panes of glass that are separated by an insulating space typically filled with argon gas for better thermal efficiency. This results in an airtight seal that keeps warm indoor air inside and cold outside air out.

As time passes, the seal will begin to break down and moisture will begin to accumulate between the window panes, causing them to become cloudy. This happens because the gap between the panes is heated by sun, causing water vapour to build up within it.

This is a normal thing to happen, but when it occurs between the window panes, it could cause problems as it will no longer be able to control the temperature in the room and allow the outside temperature to affect the indoor temperature. If you notice your double-glazed windows are turning blurred, call the experts at Northfield Glass to investigate.

Failed or Blown

Double-glazed windows consist of two glass panes with an inert or air between them. This improves their thermal efficiency by keeping heat in and the cold out. Over time, the gas can become depressurised, leading to a number of issues.

One of the most frequent is condensation that forms between the panes. It's not a sign of a window failure, but it could be a sign you need to reseal the panes. Condensation is also a sign of a broken double glazing, which could require a re-installation.

It is also important to look for draughts coming from your double-glazed windows. This could be because of a failed seal or a damaged handle or a broken lock. A draught is obvious and result in higher heating bills, so it is important to get it fixed sooner rather than later. Test the seals on the window frame by feeling for cold air.

There will also be water beads on the outside of windows when your window seals are failing. This is a clear indication that you should re-seal your double glazed windows.

The window frames you have purchased were designed to move a bit in order to keep the glass sheets in place. In time, this special packaging material may become compressed. This will result in the seal being broken. This will allow the air to move between the panes, reducing the efficiency of your window's energy consumption.

A seal that is blown is a clear sign that your double glazing is damaged and should be repaired immediately. A damaged seal can stop your double glazing performing its primary function which is to keep cold air out and warm air in. A blown seal could let moisture in your home, which can result in mold and other unpleasant conditions.
