Double Glazed Windows Repairs
Over time your double-glazed windows will begin to show signs of needing repair. Some of these indicators include drafts coming through the window or misting and condensation on the windows.

Broken Panes
A ball thrown by your children or a stray piece of sand from your lawnmowers or a mishap at work can cause a crack to appear in the double-glazed windows you have. Double glazing is different from single-paned windows since it has an airtight gas seal between the two panes. If a broken glass pane leaves a gap in your frame, you'll need to replace it.
In just a few steps, you can set up the new window pane. First the old glass as well as the wood around it should be removed from the frame. The new glass should be placed into the frame opening and pressed in place using silicone caulk.
The gap in the frame is then filled with window putty, which can be spread using a putty blade and smoothed with a second putty knife. Window putty also acts as an adhesive to hold the new pane in the frame. If the wood moldings on your double-glazed windows are painted, you'll need to use a chisel in order to remove the excess paint or varnish.
Before installing a new window ensure that you have a pair of heavy gloves to prevent cuts when working with glass. Then, using a utility knife scrape away any window glass that remains and take measurements of the opening of the new window. With a wooden frame remove 1/16 of an inch from each measurement to allow for expansion and contraction of the wooden frame. Metal frames should be treated in the same way to ensure that the replacement glass fits perfectly.
In the course of repairing a double-glazed window, it is also possible that seals between the glass panes will be damaged. This could cause condensation or a misty gap. This issue can be fixed by a technician who drills tiny holes into the frame. He or she will then pipe hot air into the gap to dry it out and seal it again.
It is best to leave the job of repairing double-glazed windows to a professional. Special tools are needed to remove and install the new glass, so the job should only be done by a trained professional to avoid injuries.
Foggy Windows
The window seal (also known as the window gasket) is responsible for sealing air between the two panes of glass in double glazing and keeping out drafts, noise and moisture. As time passes, the window seal can shrink or double glazing become brittle. This is because of natural expansion and contraction when the window is exposed to different temperatures and weather conditions throughout the year.
The windows that are stained with a haze indicate that the air-tight seal between the two panes of your window is failing. This allows humidity from outside to penetrate and form a condensing layer between the glass panes, creating an appearance of frosted, wet that is difficult to wipe clean.
You can fix the problem without having to remove double-glazing. One way to fix this issue is to "defog the window' in place. This can be done by drilling tiny holes between the glass panes and injecting a cleansing agent. This is a temporary fix, as the solution will only remove the fog and not replace the inert gases that are between the glass panes. It won't also replace any energy efficiency that has been lost due to deteriorating seals.
You can also replace your insulated glazing unit (IGU). This will provide you with new, clean windows that are free of fog and restore any lost energy efficiency. This will cost more than simply repairing the IGU, but it is a more permanent solution.
There is also the chance that the wood frame of your window or door may be decaying and needs to be replaced. This is a major repair job and could be costly however, replacing the rotten frames will give you a fresh start and stop more moisture from entering your home.

While condensation that forms on the surface of a double-glazed windows is easy to clean away, moisture that forms in between panes of glass can be more troublesome and may cause the growth of mould, or even damage the glass itself.
The condensation that forms between the windows in your home could be caused by a number of problems, including temperature variations as well as high humidity levels and broken seals. Older windows are more susceptible to this problem than ones with better sealing technology.
It is important to remember that although the forming of condensation on the glass of your window must not be ignored, this is easily fixed without having to replace the entire unit. This problem is usually caused by a leak around the frames that are either on the inside or outside of the window.
A professional can look over your window and determine if seals require upvc repair or replaced. If the seals need to be replaced they will restore your windows' ability for insulation from cold or heat and result in lower energy costs.
To fix this issue, a professional can drill holes in the window's outer and inner parts to eliminate the water that has accumulated inside. It could take anywhere from a few minutes to several days to get rid of all the moisture. When the window is dry it can be sealed with vents which allow moisture and air to be able to escape naturally.
The best way to avoid this problem entirely is to ensure that your windows are sealed and maintained regularly to stop the seals from degrading. This can be achieved by hiring a professional who will perform a regular maintenance for your double glazing.
