Re-Glazing

Turkington – The Home Improvement Experts

Steamed Up Windows…
Double-glazed units are usually guaranteed for a period of 10years, however after this period of time the unit can start to deteriorate and lose its effectiveness and eventually may also mist up.  
Steamed or misted up windows can be caused by condensation within the double glazed unit.  This happens when the glass units fail allowing moisture to build up between the panes of glass.   The moisture itself can be hard to spot at first, however it builds up eventually condensing into water inside the sealed unit.  Since the unit has lost its air tight seal it will also mean that your windows are no longer as energy efficient and will lose heat.

Old & Cold Windows…
The energy efficiency of double-glazing today is far superior to the majority of older glass units which were fitted before 2002.  Glass Technology has improved significantly and today’s energy efficient glass units are more than twice as efficient as standard double glazing.  If you are looking for a really cost effective way of saving home energy then re-glazing your old inefficient glass could be the answer.  We can provide individual energy use simulations which show exactly how much new glass could save you every year.

The answer…
If your glass units are misting up, or are just inefficient the only real answer is to replace the glass units or replace the entire window.  Turkington’s now offer a glass replacement service meaning we can replace all your old double-glazed units with much more efficient A-Rated units, which will quickly start to pay for themselves.

All our units are BSi & Kitemark approved and our installations conform to Glass & Glazing Federation (GGF) standards meaning we provide superior glass units and installation which is independently approved.
