Why Double Glazing Repair Is Important
 
 If your double glazing breaks down it doesn't just block views and block natural light, it also lets cold air escape and could increase your energy bills. Many companies provide warranties on their windows ranging from 10 to 20 years, so it's worth checking if your windows are covered.
 
 The most reliable tradesmen can repair your double-glazed windows more quickly than you imagine and with less mess. They'll also give you a warranty that you will not get by doing it yourself.
 
 Frames
 
 The frames of your double-glazed windows should be strong, sturdy and protected from the elements. They must be efficient in energy use and allow heat in during winter, and stop hot air from venting out in summer.
 
 In time the frames may begin to deteriorate. This can be caused by many factors, including weather conditions, repeated opening and shutting of doors and windows and frequent use. Whatever the reason, these problems are not something you should ignore.
 
 It is often possible to repair the frames of double-glazed windows and doors instead of having to replace them all. This will reduce your expenses and ensure that your home is comfortable and safe.
 
 It is advisable to get quotes from several firms when you are looking to repair double glazing, since prices can vary greatly. Keep in mind that the cheapest quote isn't necessarily the best and you should be sure to inquire about any guarantees that are included with the work.
 
 A survey conducted by SEH BAC found that the most frequently-reported issue that double glazing owners experienced post-installation was their window or door becoming difficult to open, with three out of 10 experiencing this problem. This could be down to the weather, a fault with the hinge or mechanism or even the windows or doors dropping or sagging with time, and in many cases can be solved by cooling the handle or mechanism down or oiling it.
 
 Double glazing can also be affected by condensation between the panes. This can occur for a number of reasons like inadequate ventilation or our own habits like closing windows after cooking or showering. This can pose a significant issue for your home because it can compromise the efficiency of windows and allow moisture to leak into the frames or cills which can lead to rot or mould.
 
 This is often very difficult to repair, and in some cases could mean that the entire pane of glass has to be replaced. This is normally an option that is a good idea as it will give you back the advantages of your original double glazing and increase the insulation of your home.
 
 Glass
 
 Double glazing is the combination of two panes that have an air space between them. The gap is usually filled with argon, a non-toxic gas that acts as an insulator helping to keep warm air in and cold air out. These gases, when installed correctly create a barrier that assists in preventing draughts. This will also improve the efficiency of your house.
 
 Double glazed window and doors are usually difficult to open or close. This can be caused by a number of reasons, including warping of the frames or the simple change in temperature that cause the materials to shrink and expand in a slight way.
 
 A simple solution to this problem is by wiping the frames with a damp towel. This will help ease the movement, and may be sufficient to temporarily resolve the problem. However, if you notice that your double-glazed is becoming harder and harder to close and open or it has stopped working completely It is time to replace it with new energy efficient double glazing.
 
 Another common issue that can be experienced with double-glazed windows is condensation between the panes of glass. This could be an indication of a problem with the seals, since it indicates that the gap between the panes is no longer airtight. The good part is that a professional tool can be used to make an airtight seal to prevent moisture from forming between panes.
 
 If you're not sure if your double glazing should be repaired or replaced, you should contact the company from which you purchased it. They should have given you a a warranty, often of 10 or 20 years, but some companies provide lifetime warranties. Contact them as soon as you can either by phone or by personal. Then follow up with a formal letter to ensure that everything is documented. This will also help you take action in the event that the company is not helpful or fails to solve the problem.
 
 Gaskets

 The gasket is a sealing made of rubber. It is placed around your windows and doors to protect you from weather damage between the frame, sash, or glass. It stops drafts, water permeability or condensation from entering between the panes. It may also shield against damage to the unit itself. So, a top-quality gasket is an essential component of your double glazing system and should be checked regularly for signs of wear and wear and tear.
 
 Window gaskets come in a variety of colours and styles that will complement the double-glazed window units you have. They are constructed from sturdy materials like TPR or EPDM, depending on the style you prefer. Using the right type of gasket for your requirements will ensure optimal function and life expectancy. For instance, a bubble seal works well on uPVC and metal frames, while wedge seals are best for traditional timber or aluminium framed windows.
 
 As well as creating an airtight seal window gaskets help to absorb sound waves to provide an acoustic environment for your home. This is especially important during winter, when cold air can enter through gaps around your window and frame. Replacing damaged gaskets is an affordable and efficient way to increase the comfort of your home in the winter months.
 
 It is not always necessary to replace the entire window unit if the gaskets start to deteriorate. Our highly skilled and experienced team is often able to replace them quickly and cost-effectively to give you an unbeatable and long-lasting weather seal that will improve your home's performance.
 
 In the event that it is not possible to replace the gaskets, preformed silicone overlays or gaskets can be sprayed directly on the frame and then spliced together for a stylish solution. This method is perfect for repairing older windows with low tolerances and weak stress points, or in cases where the original sealing has become damaged due to exposure to extreme weather conditions. A certified glazier will be able to advise you on the most suitable replacement options for your windows.
 
 Locks
 
 It's not just a nuisance when a uPVC window doesn't close properly. It also allows warmth and draughts to escape. This can also affect the security of your home and make it more vulnerable to burglary. A quality lock can help solve this problem by making sure that the windows shut properly.
 
 Problems with your uPVC window lock can be extremely frustrating. The majority of these issues are fixable. The best method to avoid these problems is to conduct regular maintenance. This includes oiling the mechanisms, hinges and handles. This will make your windows last longer and stay functional.

This will stop the problem from getting worse and will save you money in the future. There are a variety of locks on your uPVC windows. The most well-known type of lock is the one that is keyed. This locks can only be opened using the right key. This kind of lock works well with windows that have double-hung doors and is simple to install.
 
 A mortice lock is a good alternative. It is secured to the frame by bolts. This type of lock provides more security than a sash or night latch, which can be removed or broken in a short amount of time. It is typically more user-friendly than a sash or night latch, and is compatible with all types of uPVC double-glazed windows.
 
 For windows made of uPVC that can't be shut or opened check the hinges and places that they go through the frames. Sometimes, a small chunk of wood or debris can hinder the window from closing properly.
