Signs Your Double Glazed Windows Are Blown and Need Repair 

Blown double glazing occurs when the seal between the two glass panes fails, allowing moisture to enter, leading to condensation or misting between the panes. One of the most obvious signs that your double-glazed windows are blown is the appearance of fog or mist between the glass. Over time, this moisture can cause the window’s insulating properties to deteriorate, leading to drafts and increased heat loss, which can raise your energy bills. Additionally, if you notice visible cracks or breaks in the window seals, it’s a clear indicator that the unit is compromised. Blown glazing can also lead to a cloudy or discoloured appearance, affecting the clarity of your windows and obstructing your view. If you notice any of these issues, it's important to address them quickly. A professional repair or replacement will help restore the efficiency and aesthetics of your double-glazed windows.

How Blown Windows Impact Your Home’s Energy Efficiency?

Blown windows can significantly impact your home’s energy efficiency. When the seal of double-glazed windows fails, it allows air to enter or escape, reducing the window’s ability to insulate effectively. This results in increased heat transfer between the interior and exterior of your home, causing higher energy bills. During the colder months, you may notice drafts, making your heating system work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature. 

In summer, blown windows can allow heat to enter, causing your air conditioning to run longer. Over time, the loss of energy efficiency can add up, costing you more on utility bills. Repairing or replacing blown windows restores insulation, improves energy efficiency, and helps reduce heating and cooling costs, ultimately saving you money while keeping your home comfortable year-round. Trust our expert team for quick and effective blown window glazing repairs that save you energy and money.

FAQ's

1. What is a blown window?

A blown window is a window that has been blown out or broken. Blown windows occur when a gap between the glass panels opens up, allowing moisture to seep into the window unit. This gap can then subsequently lead to misting of the window, or what some term as “cloudy”.

2. Do I need to replace the window frames as well?

In most cases, you won’t need to replace your frames to fix your failed double glazing! Replacement double-glazed units are a much cheaper alternative to installing new windows. A misted-up window is due to the seal on the glass, which has nothing to do with the frame itself. As long as the frame is in good condition, you simply need to replace the glass unit inside. When performing double glazing repairs, it is a great opportunity to upgrade the glass to A-Rated Energy Efficient to get better insulation and lower your heating bills

3. Can failed double glazing be repaired?

Technically, yes, blown double glazing can be repaired, but we don’t recommend it! The seal can be fixed by renewing it across the entire window, but this won’t address the misting or condensation already trapped between the panes. While you can purchase a DIY misting repair kit from Amazon, in our experience, using one can often cause more harm than good. The process involves drilling a small hole in the window, allowing it to clear as much as possible, cleaning the panes with a magnetic tool, inserting drying pellets, and sealing the hole with clear cement. Re-sealing the unit is also required, and these repairs tend to need regular upkeep. The most effective solution for repairing blown or failed double glazing is to completely replace the windowpanes.

4. What is argon gas filling, and why is it used in double-glazed windows?

Argon gas is an inert, denser gas used between the panes of modern double-glazed windows. It enhances thermal performance by reducing heat transfer, helping to improve insulation and energy efficiency. This helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature while reducing energy costs.
