When Do You Need To Repair or Replace Your Window Glass?

In the past, it was very common for homeowners to resolve broken or damaged windows by repairing them. More recently, the trend has been to remove older windows and replace them, often trading out timber-framed windows for PVC or metal framing. However, as people become more aware of environmental issues, there has been a growing demand for window repair services.

Repair or Replace?

As a homeowner, you may be torn between repairing or replacing your windows. In order to understand which is the best option for you, you need to consider exactly what problem your window has which means it needs to be fixed.

Your Windows are Leaking

Leaks are a common reason why homeowners decide to take action and fix windows. When there is water coming into the interior through the window, this can mean that the window seals have failed, or the exterior casing has deteriorated. On both occasions, you might wish to replace windows.

Glass is cracked or broken

If you are suffering from a broken or cracked pane of glass, then you will need to see if your local glazier can provide you with a suitable repair. Single pane windows can often be inexpensively repaired, and you may be able to simply replace the single pane of glass, rather than having to remove the entire window.

Broken Frames

If the current frame in your window is made from timber, then it is possible that it may deteriorate to the point where it needs to be repaired or replaced. Common problems include wooden mullions and muntins, the parts separating different panes of glass, and deteriorating or rotting. Sometimes metal supports can also become rusty or start to decay. In these cases, it may be more cost-effective to entirely remove all of the frame, and replace it with something new.
