A Cracked Double-Glazed Awning Window in Clifton Springs
On this page
A double-glazed awning window at a Clifton Springs home developed a large crack.
A cracked DGU is not just a cracked pane
A double-glazed unit is a sealed assembly with a gas or air gap between two panes. Once one pane cracks, the seal is compromised and the unit stops doing the job it was installed for.
You lose the thermal performance you paid for, and over time moisture works its way in and fogs the cavity from the inside where it cannot be cleaned. That is why a cracked DGU gets replaced as a unit rather than patched.
Replaced as a complete unit
Our glaziers replaced the damaged glass with a new toughened double-glazed unit meeting current Australian Standards, restoring the window's thermal performance, appearance and compliance together.
