You have noticed that there is condensation on your double glazed windows;
is the solution to remove and replace the panes, change the frame or just do
repairs? If you are very good at DIY, you can attempt to repair. The best way to
go about it is to find out where the problem is – is it the frame or the glass
itself?
This is quite complicated if you have never done it before. If the glass
is the problem you need to take it out, measure the frame for exact dimensions
for the new glass and then buy and replace. If it is the frame, you may want to
remove the glass, replace the frame and then place the glass back in it.
To do this you have to take out the glazing beads. These are usually
located on the inside so use a putty knife to reach them. Keep in mind the
sequence with which you take them out because you will need to place them back
in the same sequence. You then need to put in the glazing packers, the gasket,
the glass and beads. As you can see, it can get quite complex if you don’t have
the necessary experience
That is why it is recommended that you call in a professional double glazing repair service to do it for you. For one thing, they may save you money
by repairing instead of replacing the entire system. Secondly, most good double
glazing repair companies offer a warranty on their work which means that they
have to do the job very well because they don’t want to suffer the cost of
coming back for another repair.
Lastly, a professional service has all the
necessary expertise to do a good job; they have technicians who do this kind of
work all the time so you can be sure that they will get the job done
right.
