Double glazing is designed to last, but over time, wear and tear can impact its performance. Here are five common signs that it may be time for repairs:
1. Condensation Between the Panes
This usually means the seal has failed, allowing moisture to seep in. This reduces energy efficiency and can lead to further damage.
2. Draughts Around the Frame
If you can feel air coming through closed windows, the frame or sealant may be compromised.
3. Difficulty Opening or Closing
Warped frames or faulty mechanisms can make operation hard, and may pose a security risk.
4. Increased Energy Bills
If your heating costs have climbed unexpectedly, poor window insulation could be to blame.
5. Visible Damage or Cracks
Cracks in glass or chips in frames not only look bad, but they also affect insulation and security.
