Blown Units
What is a blown unit in double/triple glazing?
A blown unit in double or triple glazing refers to a situation where one or more of the sealed glass units within the window or door system has developed a leak, allowing air or moisture to penetrate the space between the panes of glass. Double and triple glazing typically consist of two or three panes of glass with a sealed airspace in between. This airspace is often filled with a gas like argon or krypton to improve insulation.
When the seal around one of the glass units is compromised, it can lead to several issues, including:
-
Condensation
-
Reduced Insulation
-
Aesthetic Issues
-
UV Damage
Blown units are a common issue in older double or triple glazed windows where the seals have deteriorated over time.
Should I get a blown window replaced?
Whether or not you should get a blown unit replaced in your double or triple glazing depends on the extent of the problem and your specific circumstances. Here are some factors to consider:
Visibility and Aesthetic Concerns: If the blown unit results in a foggy or cloudy appearance that obstructs your view and reduces the aesthetic appeal of your window, you might want to consider replacement for improved clarity and appearance.
Energy Efficiency: Blown units reduce the insulating properties of the window, potentially leading to drafts and higher energy bills. If maintaining energy efficiency is a priority, replacement may be beneficial.
Age and Condition: The age and overall condition of your windows matter. If your windows are relatively new and in good condition, replacing the blown unit might be a viable option.
Cost: Replacement costs can vary, and it's essential to weigh the cost of replacing the blown unit against the benefits it will provide in terms of aesthetics and energy efficiency.
