How to Repair Double Glazed Windows

Over time, double glazing windows can become damaged. This can result in

security risk.

moisture escape naturally.

Aesthetics

Double glazing windows can enhance the value of a home. They can make homes

Double glazing can also cause windows to become misty. This is a common problem
that is difficult to repair. However, there are solutions. Re-sealing windows
can be done by adding desiccant to the seal. This is not recommended for windows
with argon since the insulation benefits will be removed.

A double glazed window can be replaced by an IGU, or insulated glass unit (IGU),
which uses two glass panes and the gas argon or krypton between them to limit
the transfer of heat. This is a more efficient method to warm your home than
single-paned windows. But replacement is an expensive alternative to repair of
the windows.

Replacing double-glazed windows can increase the value of your home.
Additionally, it can reduce your energy bills and reduce noise levels. However,
it's crucial to choose the right type of replacement double-glazing for your
