1. Window Glass Replacement

If you only have a single window pane that has broken or cracked it could be beneficial to replace the glass pane rather than the entire window. This is a more cost-effective solution and will improve the efficiency of your home's energy use. You must always ask yourself some important questions before deciding whether window replacement is the most suitable solution for you.

A glazier might be able to replace the glass without removing the frame or trim, if the pane isn't broken. This will likely to be cheaper than replacing all of your windows, and will improve the appearance of your house a clean modern, contemporary look.

However, this kind of project is ideal for homeowners who have experience in DIY home improvement projects since it can be quite complicated and require careful measurement of the old window's opening to ensure a perfect fit. If you attempt this yourself it is advised to wear gloves and protective eyewear for safety, and to take away all glass shards should you need to. It is also recommended to seek out a professional installer in order to avoid costly or dangerous mistakes.

A glazing company has the experience to measure and install new windows and doors and will make sure that they are fitted properly to reduce drafts and leaks. A reputable glazing company can also provide options for upgrades and improvements to the appearance, performance, and security of your home. These include a wider range of energy-efficient window types and colors, low-E coatings, self-cleaning glass, and shatter-resistant glass for doors and sidelights. This is a great way to update the exterior of your home and increase its curb appeal while increasing the value of your property.

2. Window Repair

The windows in a house play a vital role in ensuring comfort indoors and energy efficiency. If they are functioning properly we don't think about them, but when one becomes broken or doesn't close correctly, it's an immediate issue.

Whether it's a small crack or a full-blown double glazing issue Our experts will address the issue and avoid further damage to your windows. In most cases double glazing that has been blown can be repaired without having to replace the entire window unit. It is as simple as removing the damaged pane of glazing, resetting it, and then caulking the frame.

If your windows are older they might have a thin layer of putty (called bedding) on the frame which can be removed to reveal the hard, fragile piece of glass. The bedding is designed to provide an improved seal and allow the glass to sit securely against the frame once the points are set. A bit of heating with the use of a heat gun (never use a torch; too much heat can cause the wood to split) around the perimeter will soften this putty and make it easier to remove the glass. Wearing eye protection and working in a well-ventilated space is recommended.

Protect your windows from staining by applying hydrophobic coatings to the glass surfaces. This non-toxic permanent coating repels water and liquids, making cleaning less frequent. It's an easy, inexpensive accessory that keeps your windows looking like new and saves you money on maintenance costs. Our specialists can apply window tints to block out 99% UV radiation, which can cause fading and skin damage.

3. Window Frame Repair

Window frames are crucial to the design and functionality of commercial buildings, but they are also susceptible to damage due to weather and other factors. If the frame of a window has been damaged, it might not be able to properly seal or shield the interior of the building from dust and moisture. In these situations Bayview Glass's expert experts can fix and restore the frame's integrity and improve the appearance of your building.

Window frames are exposed environmental elements, such as acid rain and UV rays that can cause stains and rust. As time passes, the staining will weaken the frames causing leaks and drafts. If you notice any stains on your window frame, it's crucial to take care to remove them before they become a problem. If not, they will chemically bond to the glass and erode the frames over time. Bayview Glass provides a variety of window frame repair services that restore the structural integrity and beauty to your windows.

Over time the seals on windows for residential use will wear down, resulting in condensation, drafts, and reduced energy efficiency. Bayview Glass offers seal replacement services to improve the insulation and energy efficiency of your home. They can also upgrade your windows by installing energy-efficient glass options to reduce your cooling and heating costs.

Storefront windows are an essential component of your business's brand and also its appeal to customers. If your windows at the front of your store are cracked, shattered, or outdated they could cause a negative impression to customers and impact sales. Bayview Glass can repair and replace your storefront windows so they look fresh and inviting, increasing the visual appeal of your business and bringing new customers. They can create a service plan that is tailored to your needs and requirements.

4. Frame Replacement

Full frame replacement involves removing the entire window frame from the studs, and then installing an entirely new frame, sash, and glass. This is generally more expensive than replacing the insert but allows homeowners to change the size and shape of their windows, allowing for more natural sunlight and airflow in their home. It also allows for the removal of the old siding and brickwork around the existing window opening.





Modern windows are not immune from problems such as leaks in seals that can cause condensation between the double-glazed panes, reducing efficiency of energy. Window Doctor London offers advanced repair and restoration services for modern windows to restore clear views and airtight insulation as well as energy efficiency.

Preventive maintenance plays a crucial role in extending the life of any window. Regular inspections, cleaning and lubrication of moving parts can extend the life of your windows and increase their performance. Window Doctor London has experience in re-building windows to increase energy efficiency, and also to lower costs for cooling and heating while ensuring comfort and safety.

5. Glass Replacement

You might require a glazing specialist if your glass or door is cracked, chipped or broken. It is crucial to take the right steps to replace or repair your glass. This will improve your home's energy efficiency as well as safety.

You'll need to ensure that the glass you're installing is the right size for your door or window frame prior to starting. To do this, simply take measurements of the width and height of your glass pane using the aid of a tape measure or piece of paper. Visit the glass or home improvement store to have the pane cut.

After the glass has been cut and removed, you'll have to remove the old glass from the frame. Be careful while doing this, as broken windows can cause serious injuries if handled improperly. When you are removing your glass, ensure you wear thick gloves and long clothing as there could be tiny, almost invisible splinters that could cause injuries. Remove any metal glazing points or wood mouldings that are holding your glass in place. If they're stuck, use a heating gun to melt the material before attempting to pry it off.

Replacing a single pane of glass is less expensive than changing out an entire window or door which is why this is an option to consider if you are only concerned about the appearance of one pane of glass. However, if there are other issues regarding your door or window such as locks or balance, or the frame itself, replacing the entire window could be the best option. This will provide the most complete solution, and allow you to modify your windows to suit your needs.
