uPVC Windows Repairs

uPVC, also known as Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride, is a low-maintenance building material that can give your home years of energy efficiency and style. However, these windows require care and maintenance periodically.

Clean the cladding and frames with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt. Also, regularly clean the sashes to prevent the glass from getting smudged in cold weather.

1. Cracked Glass

Many homeowners have glass that has cracked. A pebble thrown by your lawnmowers, a large vase thrown onto the window or an uneven build up of condensation can cause glass to crack. Unfortunately, these issues are not always fixable by yourself. If the glass is too big, or has broken into sharp pieces, you'll need to have it replaced by an expert.

There are a variety of ways to fix broken glass. One option is to use a simple glass glue, such as Bostik Fix & Glue. It's easy to apply and dries quickly. To ensure a smooth, clean surface it is recommended that you clean and dry the area prior to applying the adhesive.

Another option is to tape up the cracks in the window. This will help to keep them in place, but it's only temporary and not particularly attractive. If you want to go further than this, consider using window repair film, which is basically tape with steroids that can be cut to the size of the largest window crack.

You can also use clear nail polish to fill cracks and chips on your windows. The adhesive properties of nail polish can keep the crack from expanding and seal the opening to prevent water and drafts from getting inside. However, you'll need apply multiple layers and allow each layer to dry before applying the next.

Epoxy is the best option for those who want a long-lasting solution for cracked window glass. It's more expensive than other options for glass repair, but it's a durable, durable adhesive and can make the damaged area virtually invisible if done correctly. You should purchase an repair kit for glass that comes with all the tools and directions required. With the right care you can even use epoxy to erase cracks completely. If you're willing to put in the time and effort required, fixing damaged glass with epoxy can be as simple as replacing a glass pane.

2. Stained Glass

Stained glass is a beautiful feature for homes, particularly in entryways, where homeowners wishing to make a good impression on guests, frequently invest in elaborate door panels and sidelights. Stained windows are vulnerable to damage, and require regular maintenance. There are many ways to fix damaged glass and prevent it from becoming damaged.

The first step is to examine the stained glass window repairs near me for indications of damage. Look for evidence of oxidation. Also look for any looseness of the lead cames or dirt that has been clogged up. Separation between the lead and the glass is another indication of structural problems. Also, look for signs of moisture infiltration, which could rot sills and damage the frame of the wood around the window.

Once you've identified the problematic areas, it's time to act. Remove any glass that is sagging or showing signs of structural issues, and replace it with new glass. You might want to consider adding a reinforcement bar to your stained glass window (also known as saddle bars) to ensure it is solid. A skilled restoration specialist will know how to incorporate these into your window and will match them to the existing style and color of the original glass panel.
