    Double glazing is made up of two glass panes, separated by an air or gas filled gap. This creates a barrier of insulation that reduces heat loss and also reflects the sun’s heat (for upgraded units).

Like any window they can also be damaged by storms, or if the glass becomes damaged or shattered. Fortunately, double glazing repairs are fairly simple to do.

    Sliding Doors Sliding

    If you’re looking to make a seamless transition between the inside and outside of your home, sliding folding doors are the perfect solution. The sliding doors are available in many finishes and are able to be shut and opened as regular windows. They blend seamlessly into any modern or traditional property. They are also energy efficient and help reduce the amount of heat that is lost through the glass of your home.

    Choose from triple stackers that be used to cover up to 8 metres, bi-passing designs where each panel can be moved independently and foldback designs which allow the stacking panels to fold flat to the home’s cladding for a doorway that is completely open. You can also have doors built to a particular size and configuration – from two to 10 panels.

    The cost of these doors varies greatly depending on the design, the material (uPVC is generally cheaper than aluminum) and the layout of the opening that you need. However, if you look at quotes for the same specification from several companies, it should be possible to get an accurate estimate of the cost by comparing apples to apples.

    In general, the installation of new sliding doors is a permitted development (PD), which means that planning permission should not be required unless you live in a listed residence or in a conservation zone. However when you’re putting in bi-fold doors to an older property, you may need to obtain listed building consent prior to any work being completed. This is especially true if you want to change the appearance of your door to make it less obvious or to blend with other features. You’ll need an expert survey in this case.

    Misted Units

    Misted windows develop when moisture gets into the space between the two panes of glass that comprise a double glazed unit. This blocks natural light from entering the room, and obscures views of the outside. This can be easily remedied by simply changing the blown sealed units and is less costly than replacing your entire window frame.

    If the seal is broken (or fails) it allows external air to enter the gap between your glass panes and this air is typically of a different temperature to the glass and can cause condensation to develop. This can be extremely unsightly and is the reason we recommend replacing your broken units as soon as you can.

    We can replace double glazed units quickly and at a reasonable price. We can also carry out full window replacements if needed.

    Some companies suggest that you can fix your windows that are misting by drilling an opening in the glass and then blowing warm air through to remove the condensation. This is not recommended because it could cause the problem to recur because the seal has been damaged.
