PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR YOUR PROJECT

When to replace your glass: signs to arrange an assessment

Visible damage is a reason to get advice, but not every window problem is solved by changing the pane. An assessment should look at the glass, frame, seals and hardware before deciding what needs replacing.

Cracked, chipped or shattered glass

Keep people and pets clear of damaged glass and avoid handling it. A glazier can assess the panel and the replacement required for its location.

Call with the type of window or door, your suburb and a description of the damage. A photo taken from a safe distance can help. Do not approach broken glass simply to obtain exact measurements.

Condensation between the panes

Moisture trapped inside a sealed double-glazed unit is different from condensation on an exposed glass surface. The sealed unit may need assessment and replacement.

It does not automatically mean the entire window must be removed. If the surrounding frame remains suitable, replacing the insulating glass unit may be an option.

Draughts, sticking or rattling

These problems can involve worn seals, tracks, hardware, frames or installation details. Replacing sound glass alone may leave the cause untouched.

Describe when the issue occurs and whether the window opens, closes and locks normally. Avoid forcing a stuck sash, especially if the glass is already damaged.

Leaks and damage around the frame

Water near a window can come from more than one source. The frame, seals, surrounding construction and drainage may all need consideration.

Share photographs and explain when the leak appears. The assessment may need to include work beyond glazing; a new pane should not be presented as a guaranteed cure for a building leak.

Planning an upgrade

Renovation plans, privacy, appearance or comfort can also be reasons to discuss new glass. Identify what you want to improve and ask whether the existing frame can accommodate the proposed specification.
