How to Repair Double Glazed Windows
Double glazing is usually covered by a warranty for 10 or 20 years. So, if your double-glazed windows are showing signs of aging you could be eligible to have them repaired under warranty.
Double-glazed window repairs involve resealing the existing glass unit. The seal is not working in the event that you see misting.
Damaged Glass
Double pane windows require an airtight seal to work properly. The most common indication that a seal is failing is the formation of condensation between the glass plates. Condensation between glass plates is not a major issue and can be corrected however, it's an indication that your glazing unit is in need of replacement. If you have a double-glazed window that is older, it could be necessary to replace both the glass and the frame. If your frame is still in good condition, you may be able to save money by simply replacing the glass.
Glass is fragile, and it's not uncommon for double-pane windows to crack over time. If the cracks were not caused by mechanical damage, or a jarring impact to the window they can be fixed by using epoxy and elbow grease. Follow the directions of the manufacturer and scrub the crack by using a damp cotton cloth. Then, apply epoxy to the crack. Let the epoxy completely dry before painting and sanding the repaired area.
It is also possible to stop cracks from spreading with a simple strip of masking tape. One strip of tape placed on both sides of the damaged area should be enough to prevent superficial cracks, such as stress cracks that result from low temperatures, from getting worse. If you notice more severe cracks in your glass that are already present, it's recommended to speak with an expert to repair the damage.
Removing one pane of double-pane window glass is a difficult and dangerous DIY job. Double-paned windows are made as a unit and sealed with inert gas in the factory. It is therefore impossible to remove just the glass without damaging the window. If you are planning to replace the glass in your double-paned windows pick a manufacturer with a long-lasting warranty.
