Keyglaze – Replacing your failed double glazing – Not the frames just the panes

The pros and cons of replacing failed double glazing.

In this article we weigh up the pros and cons of keeping your existing UPVC frames or replacing failed double glazing.

A customer in Northumberland had issues with 60% of the Double glazed windows in his home, He didn’t want the mess of having new frames fitted and opted to repair the existing windows by replacing the failed double glazed units. He saved money, the job was mess free and the entire job was completed in one day.

In any property heat will be lost through windows and doors, however this heat loss can be reduced when a home has energy efficient double or triple glazing. The benefits of having energy efficient glazing installed in your home can also include a reduced carbon footprint, improved home security and noise reduction. When a double glazed unit fails it could be costing you an extra 20% in energy. Your money could be going straight out the window.

Advice on water leak through UPVC door

“Dan arrived on time and advised us that all door seals were intact and that the door was not leaking but that we had a condensation problem and to fit a trickle vent to the adjacent window”

Lock mechanism replacement on double glazed window.

“Great communication leading up to arrival and the job was done very quickly. Would highly recommend. Board up window after accidentally being shattered and then replaced with new double glazed unit.

“Phoned Dan at 21.00 hrs and he asked us to send a photo of the shattered window. He then went to collect boards and within 30 mins of phoning he arrived. He then knocked out the old glass and boarded up the window to make it safe as it was a large window. We waited while Dan ordered the new unit and then he came back to fit it. Dan is a polite and friendly lad who went out of his way to help us. He has done a very good job and we highly recommend him.”
