Repairing Double Glazed Windows
When double glazed windows "blow" in the wind, argon that is insulating escapes and causes the window to lose its energy efficiency. The good news is, blowing double glazing is usually repairable without having to replace the windows.
The presence of condensation or moisture between your double-glazed windows is a typical indication that the seals on your windows are failing. This can be repaired by a professional, saving you the expense of a replacement window.
Take off the Sash
Double-glazed windows are a great option to enhance the look and value of your home. They also boost the energy efficiency of your home by keeping cold out and the heat in. Double glazed windows can help you save money on heating bills during Minnesota's cold winters.
The main difference between double and single glazed windows is the gas that is injected into the space between the panes of air or argon. This can make a big difference to your windows' insulation properties, as it prevents heat from passing through the glass. Selecting an inert gas that has low thermal conductivity like argon or krypton, helps to increase your window's insulating properties even further.
Double-glazed windows are also more secure than windows with a single pane. They are less secure and resistant to breaking. They can also be equipped with modern security locking systems. They can also be fitted with toughened or laminated glass, making them more secure. Double-glazed windows are more durable and less prone than single-glazed ones to shake or rattle in the wind. They are a good choice for older homes.
Double-glazed windows are also constructed of low-energy glass which helps reduce the UV rays that penetrate your home. This can protect your carpets, paintings, and furnishings from fading. This can be particularly beneficial for windows that are exposed to direct sunlight for much of the day.
The other reason that homeowners choose to have their old sash windows retrofitted to double glazing is that they are cheaper than the installation of new windows. The exterior linings, cladding and opening mechanisms of your current windows are not damaged, so the job is much less invasive.
Double-glazed windows can be installed faster than removing a window and replacing it. That means that you can benefit from energy efficiency, enhanced security and reduced glare and UV damage to your furniture at a lower cost.
Remove the Glass
As opposed to single pane windows double glazed windows have two glass panes that are separated by a spacer, and a layer of air that acts as insulation. This insulation unit (IGU), which is filled with gases such as Krypton or argon, can provide even better insulation. These units are susceptible to being damaged over time and cease to function correctly. It is essential to remove any broken glass as safe and efficiently as is possible.
Replacing double-glazed windows can be a daunting DIY task that requires specialist tools and skills. This is why it is often best left to a professional who will make use of the right safety equipment and follow the proper procedure to prevent injuries.
It is essential to take this precaution because double-glazed windows are very fragile and can easily crack or break. Wear a respirator or mask and gloves to protect yourself while repairing the window. You should also make sure that the area around the frame is free of debris. Then, you need to place a thick sheet of plastic over the frame that will be shaved by the deglazing tool to capture the pieces of broken glass and make it easier for you to take them away.
It's important to check for indications that double-glazed windows aren't functioning correctly. A draughty window is one of the most frequently observed signs that your IGU has burst and is no longer able to provide adequate insulation. You may also notice that the windows are cloudy or there is condensation between them.
Double glazing isn't just an option to save money on energy bills but also protect your furniture from heat and light. Furniture can fade or break if it is exposed to direct sunlight for an extended time. Double-glazed windows keep your furniture from the sun and also reduces the amount of heat that enters your home.
Aside from being a good way to save on electric bills, effective double glazing can also boost the value of your property. If you're planning to sell your home in the future installing double glazing is a smart investment that can attract potential buyers.
Remove the Gaskets
Double glazing is a popular option to boost your home's energy efficiency however, like all other things windows, it is prone to wear and wear and tear. Double-glazed windows that exhibit visible damage, are draughty or are susceptible to condensation need to be repaired or replaced.
The gasket is an essential component of the window. It is a neoprene-based rubber seal that cushions and shields the glass from weather. Gasket wear is a major cause of leaks and also moisture getting into buildings. These seals are easily replaced without needing to replace the entire window.
Often, the gaskets can be repaired by pinching them and pulling them off. This is much easier on uPVC frames than on aluminium or timber. If you are unable to remove seals by hand then you can use a builder’s knife to pry the seals apart until you can grasp it using your fingertips. Once the seal has been removed and replaced, you'll be able to replace it with a brand new seal to ensure a snug fit and maximum efficiency.
After the seals have been replaced, the window beading must be removed. You can use a putty or lead knife to remove the window beading. Insert the blade of the knife between the frame and the bead, in the middle of the longest bead. This will give you the maximum leverage to separate the bead from the frame.
After removing the beading, you can then remove the glass. The gap between the two panes should be about 12mm and it's important to fill it with Argon gas for optimum thermal performance. It is possible to increase the gap between your panes to lower noise, but this could affect the insulating properties of your windows.
It's a good idea spray the window cleaner onto the frame after it's been cleaned. This will allow the DGP stick better. This will stop the tape from sticking to the glass instantly and give you time to position it correctly. To avoid damage, it's recommended to wipe the rubber seals down with a soft rag and warm soapy lukewarm water.
Reseal the Window
If you notice that your double glazed windows are fogging up or you notice that there is moisture between the panes, it might be time to have them resealed. This type of problem is a clear indicator that the seal on the inside has failed to keep the insulating gases in. It is not unusual for the rubber seal that keeps in the insulating gases to wear out over time or due to improper installation.
A skilled window specialist will seal the glass unit by putting an entirely new seal around each of the individual gaps that are insulating. The technician will fill the gaps with silicone caulk. This will keep the cold winter air out and the warm air inside. This caulk will prevent insects from getting into your home and also prevent moisture from getting in.
Re-sealing double-glazed windows not a simple DIY project. But, it is possible. It is a laborious and time-consuming job that requires special tools to remove the caulk that was used, clean the area, and then apply a new caulk. It is a good idea to hire a professional glazier for the work to avoid injury and to ensure that it is done properly.
In some instances, a double-glazed glass window is not repairable and will need to be completely replaced. This could be because of cracked or broken glasses, extensive damage to the frame or serious decay. It is recommended to speak with a double glazing expert to determine what the best solution is in these situations.
Oftentimes, the misting of windows is an indication that the treatment of the glass in the factory has failed. The factory will treat the window with a low-emissivity coating to reflect heat away and it might inject argon gas for extra insulation. If these treatments fail, moisture can be introduced into the gap between the glass panes and cause condensation. This issue can be resolved by a professional by drilling tiny holes in the glass panes, then pipe in a dehydrating solution that will remove the moisture. They will then fill the space with a new gas for insulation and reseal the hole without letting the gas escape.
