Windows... What Can Go Wrong?

It is easy to forget that windows are functional items. However they don't merely exist to bolster the aesthetic of a building, but also perform practical operations - whether its just allowing the intake of light into a room or being able to open and close for ventilation purposes.

Water Ingress

As windows are usually facing the elements, there are obviously going to be issues relating to water ingress; and it is one of the functions of a window to ensure that water is kept outside of a structure. Should this function develop deficiencies over time, it could be catastrophic - especially for high level glazing. At Glazing Refurbishment, our glazing repairs ensure any issues associated with water ingress are both identified and solved.

Defective Weather/Gasket Seals

On a similar note, many windows are bolstered by seals and weather gaskets, which can greatly optimise a window's insulation or general protection from the elements. As these components are separate to a window, they will often require a dedicated glazing maintenance solution, which is why it is imperative you choose a glazing refurbishment solution that goes beyond normal glazing.

Failure of Opening/Closing Mechanisms

The familiar function of a window is to open and close - and whilst we might take this for granted, it is a mechanism that can easily go wrong. At Glazing Refurbishment, our maintenance solutions are geared towards ensuring that opening mechanisms continue to work to their upmost, and continue to provide one of the most fundamental aspects of a window.
