Glass repair made easy

From window repair to replacement glass for furniture or sentimental items, what are your next steps? In the event of an emergency window repair, we recommend contacting our team of master craftsmen as soon as possible. When discussing the needs for your window glass repair, there are some handy bits of information that will help get our team out to you in no time;

The dimensions of your broken window

Having the dimensions of the window may increase the likelihood of same day repairs where available. By knowing the exact measurements of your broken window, we can check against our existing stocks and often provide same day window repair. The best way to measure the dimensions of your window is with a tape measure, but if you are without one you can easily use a ruler. If this isn’t possible then call our team today and we can be there to measure and replace the window glass.

Is the window a single pane or double glazed?

Single pane window repairs often make for a quick fix and are the fastest when it comes to glass window replacement. Replacement glass for double glazing, however, can be difficult. Window glass repair of a double-glazed unit requires the recalibration of the space between each pane of glass. When one glass window is compromised, so is the pocket of air between each pane of glass. If not repaired correctly, you could end up with misted double glazing or condensation in double glazed units.

All window repair that requires a high impact solution should be repaired or replaced with toughened safety glass or laminated glass. This not only increases the strength and toughness of the glass from future damage but is much safer if it were to break under pressure.

WHEN DO I NEED GLASS REPLACEMENT?

Quality installed windows can last for a long time, commonly between 15 and 20 years. However, there are a number of reasons why you might want to get them replaced before. The most obvious reason is if there is a breakage. Maybe a ball has been kicked into your window or severe weather has caused the glass to break. This is often an emergency so luckily our dedicated glazing team work around the clock and can carry out weekend repairs to ensure your home is kept secure.

Another reason for replacement is if you have noticed that your windows have become misted. Misted units have poor thermal efficiency and are less effective at keeping out the cold. This can often occur as your double glazed units age. The team at Aacme Glass can provide a quality and affordable replacement service for all misted and broken units.

In some cases, there may be the possibility to have your window damage repaired rather than a full replacement. To find out more about our glass repairs please visit the page on our website. However, in most circumstances, we advise that a replacement is more worthwhile and cost-effective than a repair. Even if windows are still operable, they can develop problems as a result of previous damage. So if you want to ensure that issues do not keep reoccurring, a glass replacement service is probably the best option.

Some customers decide to have glass replacements because they want to reduce their energy bills. Windows provide some heat in the winter by letting in sunlight. However, Drafty windows can cause energy bills to be around 15-25% higher than new energy efficient windows. If you want to reduce your heating and cooling bills, replacing your windows will be a worthwhile investment. Also, if you are thinking of moving house in the near future, new energy saving windows could be a popular selling point. If you are not moving, new windows are also a great way to renovate your house. If your windows are looking worn, then this will reflect into your home. Updating your windows can transform your home and make it a more pleasant place to relax.

TYPES OF GLASS REPLACEMENT CARDIFF?

At Aacme Glass we offer a range of different glass types to satisfy all of our customers. Our unique glass cutting techniques allow us to create bespoke glass cut to size.

Our bespoke glass is beautiful yet affordable, and by measuring and cutting to your exact requirements, with only the highest quality materials; we’re guaranteed to leave you satisfied.

We offer toughened glass to our customers which has the exact same thickness as our regular paned glass, but it is five times stronger and more durable. Our toughened safety glass can be cut to size and is much stronger than ordinary glass cut to size.  Using toughened glass cut to size allows for maximum versatility when cutting for custom glass designs, and can be cut to any shape or size whilst you wait. Unlike regular glass, toughened glass cut to size has safety as a priority – and if it was to break, it shatters into small chunks, instead of dangerous, splintered shards.

Additionally, we provide a bespoke laminated glass cutting service, perfect for your custom glass balustrades and doors. Protected by a tough but barely visible interlayer, our laminated glass may break but the dangerous shards do not matter! They are held securely in place and prevent everyone from getting injured or harmed. Our laminated glass is perfect for high-impact solutions such as balustrades and shopfronts. This safety-first glass cutting service also offers improved sound insulation and reduced incoming UV rays.

Whether it’s for your new balcony or beautiful winding staircase, our elegant balustrade glass cutting designs are perfect for all sceneries. We offer beautifully crafted balustrade glass, for refurbishments and new installations. Carefully crafted to your required specifications, our master craftsmen never miss a trick when it comes to balustrade glass.
