It is difficult to know when to make the right call when it comes to repairing or replacing your double glazed windows. So, in this expert guide, we will discuss how to do this and how to make an informed decision.
How to Assess if you need to Repair or Replace your Double Glazed Windows
The first thing when it comes to making a decision about your double glazed windows is to identify the problem. The problem could be the window itself but other factors such as cost, extent of damage and the age or efficiency of your existing windows are also important factors.
A few problems with your double glazed windows could be:
- Condensation between the Panes of Glass – This could be due to a failed seal which would need to be replaced.
- Draughts or Cold Spots – This could be due to worn out seals, warped or misaligned frames resulting in your home feeling a bit colder, especially when it is windy or raining.
- Difficulty Opening and Closing – If your double glazed window is stuck, stiff or won’t close properly, this could be due to the age of your windows or rusty locks or hinges.
- Water Leaks – Water seeping in around your window could indicate failed seals and issues with drainage which could make your window frames and ledges damp and mouldy.
- Increased Energy Bills – You may find your energy bills may increase or have increased due to your windows losing their insulation.
There are more potential problems but when making a decision about repairing or replacing your double glazed windows you should also consider the aesthetic look of your windows. Do they look old and outdated? Are you thinking of putting your property on the market in a few years? These factors link to your property value and we want to ensure that your home is of the highest value with the most premium products.
