Window Glass Replacement Service Lichfield
By far the biggest double glazing advancement in Lichfield over the last 20 years has been in the double glazed units themselves, as well as the energy efficiency rating of the windows in our glass replacement service. Whilst the Upvc profile and hardware has pretty much remained unchanged, the latest developments in energy efficient glass specification, reduces the heat lost through a double glazed unit by up to 75%, which can result in a 20% reduction in energy costs for homeowners of Lichfield. Our thermally insulated double glazed units differ in three major areas compared to a standard glass unit. Firstly, the inner pane of glass has a neutral colour heat reflective coating applied to the surface, reflecting the heat back into your home. Secondly, traditional double glazed units are filled with air between the glass. In our thermally insulated double glazed units, we replace the air with argon gas, which has far superior insulating properties to air. Finally, we replace the cold aluminium spacer bar (The trim inside the unit), with a thermal spacer bar, which helps prevent condensation forming.

We are proud members of Checkatrade giving you genuine honest review, you’ll find many recommendations for misted window replacement in Lichfield.
Failed or blown double glazing is unsightly and in most cases the need for window glass replacement services in Lichfield is entirely preventable. Double glazing can and will last 30+ years if installed correctly.
Every replacement double glazing unit we install in Lichfield, we will explore the probable cause of failure to prevent repeat issues or further glass replacement. Our window engineers are extensively trained to rectify these problems whilst installing the replacement double glazing. More information on why double glazed units fail, can be found in our FAQ’S page.
Misted double glazing windows are double or triple glazed sealed units that have excess condensation trapped in the cavity between the panes of glass. This is caused where there is a breach in the hermetic seal (airtight seal) around the edge of the sealed unit allowing moist air to enter the inside of the window over a period of days, weeks or months.
When the temperature rises the moist air trapped within the double glazing condenses and over a period of time gives a white cloudy effect which to the eye is irritating and unsightly.
Over 90% of misted double glazing sealed units are south-east to south-west facing due to the fact that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, providing the greatest change in daily temperature. The increased temperature heats the sealant around the perimeter of the double glazing unit, allowing the two panes of glass to move or slip over a period of time.
In the cold winter months we see here in Lichfield, the outside temperature drops significantly, this can cause condensation on the internal surface of the double glazing due to the increased gap between internal and external temperature. This causes the glass surface to be much colder than the room temperature.
This means if you live on the north of Lichfield, a misted window could ruin your lovely view of the cathedral. Window unit repair includes replacing the glass and seal to ensure no humid air can enter it again any time soon!
