Common Glazing Problems and Solutions
Glazing is an essential part of modern architecture, providing insulation, noise reduction, and aesthetic appeal. However, like any other component of a building, it can encounter problems. Here are some common glazing issues and their solutions:
1. Condensation
Condensation between the glass panels in double glazing indicates a failure in the sealed unit, allowing moisture to enter. This issue often requires a professional to replace the sealed unit.
2. Cracks or Chips in the Glass
Cracks or chips can occur due to various reasons like impact or stress. Small chips can sometimes be repaired, but larger cracks usually require pane replacement.
3. Leaky Windows
Leaky windows can be due to failed seals or improper installation. Resealing the window or correcting the installation usually solves this problem.
4. Draughts
Draughts are often caused by gaps in the window seal or the frame. Weatherstripping can help seal these gaps and eliminate draughts.
5. Difficulty Opening/Closing Windows
This problem is usually due to a mechanical issue with the window’s operation mechanism. It might require part replacement or lubrication.
6. Discolouration
Discolouration of frames can occur due to exposure to sunlight and weather. Regular cleaning and maintenance can prevent this issue.
