Maximising Double Glazing Longevity | Grassmoor Glass Ltd

Double glazing is an effective way to keep your home warm, quiet and secure. It is made by fitting two panes of glass in a frame with a gap between them, which is filled with an insulating gas. However, like all windows, double glazing can suffer from wear and tear over time. Here are some tips to help you maximise the lifespan of your double glazing and avoid costly window repairs.

Choose High-Quality Glaziers

When choosing a glazier to install your double glazing, it is important to choose a reputable and experienced company. Look for a company with a proven track record of providing high-quality windows and excellent customer service. Grassmoor Glass, based in Chesterfield, is one such provider that can enhance your property with a wide range of windows to choose from, as well as advice on how to care for them.

Regular Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance can help to prolong the lifespan of your double glazing. Clean the glass regularly with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the glass. It is also important to check the frames and seals regularly for any signs of damage or wear and tear. Any issues should be addressed as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

Avoid Excessive Force

Double glazing is designed to be durable and long-lasting, but it is not indestructible. Avoid using excessive force when opening or closing windows, as this can cause damage to the frame or the glass. If you notice any resistance or difficulty when opening or closing a window, it is best to have it checked by a professional glazier before any further damage is done.

Repair Damaged Windows Promptly

If you do notice any damage to your double glazing, such as cracks, chips or broken seals, it is important to have it repaired as soon as possible. Leaving damaged windows unrepaired can lead to further damage and increased energy bills due to heat loss. Grassmoor Glass provides a window repair service in Chesterfield, so if you do need any repairs, we can certainly help.

Consider Secondary Glazing

If you live in a noisy area or near a busy road, secondary glazing can be an effective way to reduce noise levels and increase energy efficiency. Secondary glazing involves fitting a second pane of glass to the inside of your existing window, creating a double-glazed effect. This can be a cost-effective way to improve the performance of your windows without the need for a full replacement.


By following these simple tips, you can help to maximise the lifespan of your double glazing and avoid costly window repairs. Whether you need new windows, repairs or advice on how to care for your existing windows, Grassmoor Glass can help. Contact us today for a free consultation and quote.
