The windows of modern manufacturers can boast of a sufficiently long operational life, but it can be observed only in ideal conditions of operation of products. If you notice that the windows began to fog up, let the air through, then this is not a reason to think about replacing them. There may be a factory defect or failure of individual elements of the structure.
In any case, it is necessary to call the wizard and try to eliminate the malfunction. Double-glazed windows are the most vulnerable places of modern windows. They most often fail, and the reasons for this phenomenon can be many. Sometimes they break, crack due to mechanical stress, forcing us to think about the restoration work. It is extremely problematic to do them on your own, so you should use the services of specialized specialists.
Depressurized glass - what to do?
Determining that the glass pack is depressurized is easy enough. If condensation appears on windows, between glass panes when changing the time of day and the ambient temperature, this is a sure sign of a depressurization of the structure. If nothing is done, the window's service life will significantly decrease, mold and other unpleasant moments will start to appear, and it will be difficult to deal with them. If you do not want to be in such a situation, then from time to time you need to diagnose the state of window units, and all faults should be eliminated as quickly as possible. Depressurization of a glass unit may occur due to mechanical deformation of this part of the structure, as well as due to mechanical failure or expiration of the operational period. As you can see, the reasons are actually quite small, but in any case it will be important to restore the window, since its full replacement will require more substantial cash investments.
Practice shows that many modern companies that specialize in the manufacture, sale, installation and repair of windows, most often refuse to engage in the restoration of glass. The bottom line is that these jobs are labor and time consuming are comparable to buying and installing a new glass unit. It is for this reason that in most cases it is much easier to buy a new glass unit of suitable size, as well as call the masters to replace it. Modern double-glazed windows consist of two or more glasses, between which there is an inert gas. As soon as it disappears, the windows will immediately begin to mist over, and their operational period will begin to rapidly decline. It is because of this that you should contact the specialists immediately, because otherwise you will not have to wait long for the moment until you have to change the window block assembly.
It is quite possible to technically restore the tightness of a glass unit. To do this, it will need to be fully diagnosed, find the place of inert gas leakage and eliminate the defect. It happens that the sealant loses its properties; however, a crack in one of the glasses may also occur. In fact, it is also possible to replace glass. However, it is not advisable to carry out such repairs, as it will be much easier and cheaper to simply replace the glass unit in the collection. Often, people try to restore the tightness of a glass unit using their own resources, using various sealants, adhesives, adhesive tape and similar things. Thus, the situation can be improved, but only for a short time.
In the future, in any case, it will be necessary to use the help of experienced specialists who will replace the glass unit. In this situation, do not despair, because the price of such things, as well as their installation in the window frames is extremely small, so you do not have to deal with excessive costs, for which you were not previously ready. If you want to extend the life of your windows, then if you experience symptoms of depressurization of double-glazed windows, you should immediately contact a specialized company to provide you with a full range of services!
