Double Glazing Windows are undoubtedly a valuable investment for your home. They improve your home’s energy efficiency, helping to keep the warmth in and the street noise out. With that in mind, there are a few common problems with double glazing that we can help you to fix and prevent. Some Double Glazing Problems that we see all too often include:

Broken or missing parts can cause handles to loosen or break. That makes it difficult to open and close the window, causing an inconvenience at the very least. In some cases, you may be able to find replacement parts at your local hardware store. If not, you may need to call a professional to have the parts specially ordered.

One of the most common problems with double glazing is drafts. Cold air can seep into your home through cracks and gaps around the window, as well as through broken hinges, making it harder to keep a home warm. Not to mention, it could be driving up your energy bills. To fix this, we need to caulk and weatherstrip around the window. That will create a barrier to keep the cold air out and the heat in.

Windows that won’t stay open or closed can be caused by a number of things. These include a jam in the mechanism or worn-out hinges. In order to fix this, you’ll need to adjust the hinges or replace the mechanism altogether. In many cases, you will need to call a professional to do this for you.
