Glass specialists Atlas Glass says failed seals around double glazed windows can cancel out all the benefits it offers over single glazing. Seals can fail around any variety of window, but double-glazed windows require particular fixes.
Atlass Glass can identify seals that require fixing – cracking, crumbling or splitting at the edges – the pressure keeping the panes of glass together deteriorates. This causes a number of problems with the insulation, as the gas between the panes can escape, and ambient air can enter. Condensation that builds up inside or outside the window – that cannot be wiped – is a sign of damage. Minerals that build up between the panes of glass, making them dirty even after washing and drying them also shows damage. Condensation is usually the most common sign of damage.
Setting up the windows by a professional glazier is the starting point as poor installation is where the problem begins. Experts at Atlas Glass can solve identify issues around seals and provide advice on how to fix them.
While double glazing is standard in most new houses, it's also worth installing in existing homes if existing windows require substantial repairs or replacing. Atlas Glass can also upgrade old joinery to match the new double glazing to extensions. There is no need to install new joinery when the existing can be retro fitted to take double glazing.
