Whether they are small or large, features or minimal windows are a part of almost every imaginable building now. They allow in light and allow us to connect with the outside world without even leaving the building. From an aesthetics perspective they can be dressed and made to be features of our homes and public buildings with even the smallest amount of effort. Modern windows are creating using a process called “floating” and consist of a number of raw materials including sand, soda ash, dolomite, limestone, salt cake and others.
In addition to the obvious lighting features, windows have a number of essential functions which we rarely give credit for; they keep out the cold and wind elements but allow for the warmth of more pleasant weather and provide high levels of security for all buildings.
Why Repairs are Necessary
When newly and properly fitted windows are ideal security measures and draft excluders. However, a poorly fitted window, one which is aged or one which has been damaged can become easily penetrable, allow in the elements and worst of all be dangerous. If a window has been damaged or has simply reached a point where it requires maintenance it is vital that these repairs are carried out quickly and to the highest standards by a fully qualified technician.
Different Levels of Repair
Repairs can come at all sizes and level depending on the actual damage or amount of neglect and age in question. They can be refitted, re-insulated, be strengthened or have chips or cracks repaired. In certain circumstances the repairs may be covered by a buildings insurance policy and if this is the route a policy holder wishes to go down they should ensure that they have adequate cover before agreeing to any work.
Repair work is usually done by a qualified professional with the necessary training and tools to assess, repair and guarantee the work. Window fitting and repair and the standards and practices which are used are covered by Building Regulations and in addition to invalidating insurance policies a poor refurbishment may make it hard or impossible to sell a property without providing an indemnity for the new owner.
