Repairing UPVC Windows

Upvc windows are becoming more popular due to their durability and energy efficiency. However, uPVC windows can become damaged over time and some damage might require repair.

Often repairs are less expensive than replacing your windows. Repairs are less disruptive to your daily life. Furthermore, fixing your windows can improve the efficiency of your home and also preserve the look of your home.

Cracks

Upvc windows are designed to last and are energy efficient but they could be damaged. If you find cracks in your window, it is important to repair it as quickly as possible. If you don't take action, the crack could grow and cause further damage to your home. A uPVC expert can repair the window and prevent further damage.

There are a variety of reasons your uPVC window might crack. The most frequent reason is due to temperature changes. The sudden increase or drop in temperature could cause cracks to develop. This is especially true if the window is in an area that is exposed.

Another common cause of cracks is damage to the uPVC window frame. This can be caused by hitting the window with a sharp object, or even leaning a ladder on it. The force that results could cause the frame to crack, or even break.

Fortunately cracks in uPVC windows can be fixed quite easily. The first step is cleaning the crack using detergent and water. Then fill the cracks with acrylic compound. Apply the compound two minutes after mixing it, and make sure it gets absorbed into the crack. The patch is then sanded to make it smooth.
