Whilst double glazing makes an excellent addition to the home, sometimes it stops working as it should. However, the good news is that double glazed windows can often be repaired. Here at Sheerwater Glass, we are leading providers of double glazing repairs in Surrey, and we have listed some of the common repairs that we offer below.

Misted double glazing

Misted double glazing, where moisture has gotten in between the 2 panes of glass, making the windows look foggy, is a sign that the window seals have failed. As moisture has crept between the panes, the inert gas has also seeped out. Therefore, the window’s ability to trap heat has been compromised.

Whilst you could attempt to repair yourself, there is no way of replacing the inert gas without replacing the whole unit. However, we can take care of this for you, leading to an improvement in your home’s thermal performance.
