Replacement-Windows-150x150.jpgWhy Window Repair Is Necessary

Cracks in window glass can be caused by a pebble that was thrown by the lawnmowers or a large beverage placed on the table that has a glass top. A window that is damaged allows wind, rain insects, and other unwelcome elements to get into your home.

There are many ways to fix broken glass and stop it from spreading.

Water Damage

If water is seeping through your windows, a replacement is usually necessary. Moisture can cause rot in the wooden frame of your window. It can also compromise the energy efficiency of your window. A reputable window replacement service can replace your frames without causing damage to them.

Wood rot can affect both the outside and inside of your windows. If you have wooden windows with decaying areas, it might be possible to repair them, if they're not too much damaged. However in the event that the rot has reached your muntins or mullions (the parts of your window frame that hold the glass panes) They may have to be replaced. This may cost more than a new set windows.

Another common issue that requires replacement is a damaged seal between the double panes of your windows. This could be the result of condensation or debris between the two panes, or it could be a sign that your window's insulation has failed. Fortunately, many modern windows have insulation built into them. This means they can't experience the same issues as older multi-paned windows.

The ugly casings, wooden like those that are loose, cracked or rotten, as well as missing, can cause other issues. It's not necessary to replace your windows if the casing is damaged. You may be able sand it and repaint it to make it look better in accordance with the condition of the wood surrounding it and its condition.

If the casing on the outside isn't in good shape and you're looking to replace it, a fresh coat of weather-resistant exterior paint might be all you need to stop moisture from destroying your window. The installation of a new exterior casing could be a stylish and practical improvement to your home.

Paint that has peeled or chipped

Window frames and sills are often close to the elements and are prone to suffering from rain and sunlight. Moisture is the main cause for paint peeling around windows, particularly when the wood is exposed. The water seeps into the wood and when it evaporates, the pressure under the film of paint causes it to lose adhesion and peel. The moisture can be caused by condensation inside, or rain and snow outside. No matter the source it is important to clean and sand the surface and then repaint as soon as the paint starts to chip. Some meticulous painters apply a water repellent preservative to the wood, and then thin boiled oil before painting. This can help to reduce the penetration of moisture into the wood, allowing the new paint to hold better.

When paint starts to peel off and cracks appear, it's time to fix your window. To catch any paint that might stray, place a dropcloth or tarp over the area before applying a new coat. Get rid of any paint that has fallen off using a utility knife. Be careful not to slash the wood beneath or cut into the sheathing. Clean the area thoroughly and allow it to dry completely.

When the area is dry then sand it once more using a fine-grit sanding block. This will prepare the surface for primer and create a surface ready to accept paint. If you're working with lead-based paint, be sure to use proper safety equipment. Clean the sanded area and tape off any other surfaces, such as baseboards, to protect them from paint.

Then, prime and paint as directed on the specific tin of paint you're using. Follow the temperature and curing instructions on the paint's can as they differ depending on the type of paint. Also, make sure to paint the exterior surface with an exterior-grade paint and the interior with an interior grade.

Repairing damaged or peeling painted frames is a more affordable alternative to replacing frames. If your window frames are damaged beyond repair, however, it could be worth upgrading them to more modern, more energy efficient windows.

Cracked Glass

A broken window can leave your home vulnerable to wind, rain and bugs. You may be tempted to just replace the glass, but you can also fix it yourself if it's not too big of a crack or break. It's best to address small cracks as soon as they happen, before they get worse with time or temperature changes.

While there are numerous methods that claim to make damaged glass invisible, this is a tall order for a DIY project. Even a tiny chip could cause a weak spot to the glass, which can result in more breakage and costly replacement. The best solution is to cover the crack with plastic. The plastic covers the crack from the outside, preventing air or moisture from getting through. This can damage the frames or seals around windows.

Before you put on the plastic wear gloves and safety glasses and remove the broken pane of glass from its frame. Utilize a utility knife scraper, chisel, or scraper to take off the old glazing points that hold the pane in place. Use the knife to remove any bare wood, then finish it off with linseed or a clear wood sealer.

Then, you can use epoxy to glue the glass back in place. This option is the most time consuming, but will give your glass a more substantial appearance. Choose the double glazing repairs-cylinder epoxy dispenser that distributes resin and hardener in a similar way. This lets you precisely control how much epoxy is applied to the window, which helps to ensure a strong seal.

When you are resetting double or triple pane windows, make sure that the gas fills are not damaged. These gases are important for insulating your home and ensuring that heat stays inside during the winter and out in the summer. If you take the glass off, those gases escape through the crack and cause the window to lose energy efficiency. You can replace gas fills in the same way as to repair cracks in other types of glass.
