Double Glazing Gone Wrong

In this video, we dive into how Ballarat Window Repairs tackled a common problem faced by homeowners with traditional timber windows: improper double glazing installation. Our team re-weighted the window sashes and performed much-needed draft sealing to restore the window’s functionality and efficiency.

The client originally had double glazing installed by another supplier, but the windows were left unbalanced and prone to drafts. As a result, the sashes were difficult to open and close, and the energy-saving benefits of double glazing were undermined by unwanted airflow. We’ll show you how our experts identified the underlying issues and carefully re-weighted each sash to ensure smooth, effortless operation.

We also highlight the importance of proper sealing around the windows to prevent drafts, reduce noise, and protect your home from the elements. You’ll see our team carefully fit the right materials to provide maximum insulation, prolong the window’s lifespan, and create a more comfortable indoor environment.

Join us for a closer look at our meticulous craftsmanship, and discover why correct installation and maintenance are essential for maximizing the performance and longevity of your timber windows.
