Steamy Windows Spell Tough Times For Double Glazing Firms

With some 80% of UK dwellings already having double glazing of some kind big future savings can still be made by homeowners who follow today’s trend of just replacing the glass with new modern A Rated glass units.

The proliferation of adverts and websites that focus on terms like misty, steamy, failed and blown double glazing highlight the plight of many home owners whose earlier generations of double glazed windows are now reaching the end of their lives.

Many homeowners reading the adverts however may wrongly assume that complete replacement of their windows or doors at great expense is the only real answer when in fact the latest national trend is to just replace the glass units and not the frames.

Experienced industry insider and Director of Swindon based DA Windows and Doors www.doubleglazingswindon.co.uk Dave Pearson explains the trend.

“Most UK homes already have double glazing so a lot of the business for many window and door companies in a saturated market place is now in repair and replacement of those windows. For home owners who are experiencing tough economic times just replacing the glass units with the latest modern A Rated glass is actually a really effective and money saving option, and it’s straightforward work that window companies are happy to get at this time. It’s a win / win situation given the current business environment”.

Dave explains that “misty, steamy double glazed windows as they are often described in the adverts are generally windows where a double glazed unit has broken or failed and moisture gets in between the 2 panes. Many people I’ve spoken to simply didn’t know that you can just replace the glass units. That’s great news if the frames still look OK and function well as they do in many cases”.

Dave Pearson’s company DA Windows have many years experience installing, replacing and repairing all types of double glazed windows and doors. Dave has given home owners access online to vital spares and repairs services for the last 12 years via his www.doubleglazingsparesandrepairs.co.uk website.
