When It's Time to Repair Windows



It is essential to be cautious when repairing your windows. Wear safety goggles
and gloves to shield yourself from glass shards.



A quick fix for a broken window is to place a plastic covering over the crack.
This will keep rain, snow and insects from getting into the home.



Cracked glass



Glass that has cracked can make your home look less appealing and allow drafts
to enter. It doesn't matter whether the cracks result from an impact, like a
baseball or soccer, or stress, like a sudden temperature change, but it is
important to have them repaired as soon as you can to prevent further damage and
to keep your windows functioning effectively.



If your window is damaged but not broken, a simple fix is to use clear tape to
cover it. It's a simple and inexpensive solution that can provide protection
from dust, water bugs, and other squatters and also keep out the weather.



If the crack is getting larger or is getting more large, it is recommended to
seek advice from an expert. A professional glazier can determine the cause of
the crack and recommend the most effective repair procedure.



Impact cracks are the most common window cracks. They typically occur when a
hard object hits your window with enough force that it cracks. These cracks
usually have an arc of lines and broken pieces. They could be dangerous in the
event that they become loose. If you have double-pane windows this crack may
compromise the gas layer between the panes, which can affect the efficiency of
your window's energy use.



Another kind of crack is a stress crack which develops gradually over time due
to extreme temperature changes or other environmental factors. The cracks start
around the edge of your window and can progress to full-blown cracks.



A more serious but still possible crack is a pressure crack. This is most often
an arc of curvy lines that extends across one or more sides of the window. It
could be a result of high or low air pressure, which could cause contraction or
expansion of the glass.



If you're willing to go a step beyond nail polish and tape, there are other
products available for repairing cracks in your window glass. A product such as
Glass Repair Film is a bit more costly, but it will offer a bit more protection
and durability for your windows. If you'd prefer to go the DIY method epoxy is a
sturdy adhesive that can fill cracks to stop further damage and make your window
look like it has never had cracks at all!



Leaking Windows



If you notice a damp zone under your window or the wood around it appears soft
or decaying, it may be time to replace your windows. Mold and mildew thrive in
excess moisture and can cause numerous issues in your home. They can affect the
quality of indoor air, lead to sagging of drywall and worsen allergy symptoms.
If not addressed, they can also cause structural damage to the home.



If the water is coming in from outside or is visible through the frame it's best
to contact an expert to assist you with the repairs immediately. Leaking windows
are among the leading causes of mold and structural damage and should not be
left untreated.



In many cases the use of caulking is to stop leaks. You'll need to carefully
clean the area first, but you must also take off any caulking that is old before
applying the new layer.



Check the weepholes of the frame for any debris. These holes are designed to
drain rainwater, but they can also become blocked over time by insect carcasses
or other debris.





If you have double-paned windows, you'll also need to check the seal between the
glass and the metal frame. This will ensure an airtight seal between the glass
panes and make the windows more efficient. The seal could wear down with time
and allow water to enter the home.



Water stains on ceiling and walls are another indicator of leaks. The drywall
becomes discolored when it is soaked with water. Peeling paint is another
indication of water altering the adhesive properties of the paint and removing
it away from the wall.



Faux Muntins & Mullions



In the past, muntins and mullions (or glazing bars in the UK) separated and held
panes of glass in the classic multi-pane windows. After WWII, larger expanses
tempered glass were available. Nowadays, they're used as a decorative feature in
some older homes.



The effects of rain or wind can harm the support of a single piece or small
portion of them, resulting in an opening in the window. Repairs can be made to
the majority of these brittle or rotting elements.



First, clean the affected areas using a sponge and an ammonia-based cleaning
agent that won't leave any residue. Take off any rotting or loose pieces and
trim the intersections of the horizontal and vertical window muntins with an
exacta knife. After trimming the intersections using painter's masking tape, you
can use the tape to seal off the lower portion of the window frame. Apply a
thick layer of white paint to the areas you lightly painted in the first stroke.
Allow the paint to dry completely before taking off the tape and applying
another coat.



If the problem is more serious like an hourglass-shaped fracture in the middle
of the window, it's best to replace the sash. In these cases you'll need to
search for a replacement that matches the existing window in both style and
size.



Installing a grid window is a cheaper alternative. These windows are constructed
of a complete glass pane with a series muntins that are fixed to the surface.
This gives them a divided appearance. repairmywindowsanddoors.co.uk 're not as
energy efficient as traditional windows, but they are.



If you're looking for an easy method to upgrade your windows, think about
installing a new drip cap to stop water from getting into the window frame.
There are a variety of these aluminum drip caps at the majority of home centers
for around $20. They're much simpler to install than windowsash replacements and
come with the same functionality as a real muntin or mullion.



Broken Sashes & Frames



A damaged window sash is an obvious sign that it's time for some help. A damaged
sash, ignored, could lead to water leaks, wood decay and other serious problems
to the frame and sill. If you have a damaged sash, it is recommended to replace
it immediately to ensure that the window is properly sealed.



The problem is often caused by worn-out or poorly installed cords. It's easy to
replace these cords in most double-hung window models. To begin, you'll need
take off the tabs of metal that hold the sash in place. Press upwards on the
opposite side of the sash (it doesn't matter which side) and then pull it
towards the opposite side in order to take it off. To get access to the cords
for the sash, you'll have to remove the strip that separates the sash.



After you've removed your sash, you must make sure you compare its metal tabs to
the tabs on the new sash. If they are different it will be difficult to insert
the new sash into its correct slot and could affect how well the sash functions.
Fortunately, this can be easily fixed by placing tabs in the correct locations
on your new window.



You'll have to examine your window frame, too to look for any signs of damage or
decay. It's a good idea do this regularly as wood shrinks and becomes less
durable over time, especially with exposure to the elements. If you spot any
visible damage it should be repaired as soon as you can to avoid a bigger
problem from developing.



If your window frames are in bad condition, you'll need to treat them using a
homemade preserver made by mixing half mineral spirits with half boiling the
linseed oil. After the treatment has dried for a total of two days, you can
finish your frames with a high quality latex paint. A fresh coat of paint will
aid in protecting your window from the elements, as well.
