The damaged glass in your windows can cause serious damage to your home, and could even be fatal. You should take the time to make sure that your windows are in good condition.
For single pane windows it can be relatively simple to replace windows, and the new one will usually fit inside the frame that was previously installed easily. If windows with double panes are held together by internal beading, it will be difficult to remove and replace the old panes. In this instance it is essential to buy plastic spacers to help the new pane fit into the window frame.
If you plan to try to remove the window panes yourself, it is essential to wear the proper safety gear, including thick gloves and eye protection. It is also recommended to lay down a dropcloth before you begin working on the window panes to ensure that any shards fall onto the fabric, not onto the floor which could cause them to be trampled under.

If the gap between the door and the window is large, you might want to use a security screen that also includes an opening. This will provide the best of both.

Upvc windows and doors are a cost-effective energy-efficient, durable and long-lasting alternative to timber sash windows. However, over time, they can suffer from a variety of issues like sagging. A window that isn't properly aligned can cause problems with light, draughts or even security.

With a screwdriver, you can remove the hinges at the top and bottom and adjust them by turning them clockwise or counter-clockwise. After you've repositioned the hinges, shut your window and verify the an appropriate fit. If you're satisfied with the fit of your window, you can tighten screws to keep them in the right position.
If you cannot reposition the hinges, you may need to replace the seal. Rubber seals can dry out and lose their elasticity with time, leading them to lose their tightness. It is important to replace your seal as soon as you can in order to keep your uPVC window watertight and draughtproof.
uPVC handles can also become loose. The majority of the time this is due to screws that have come loose over time. However, it can also happen because the handle mechanism has worn out. It's relatively simple to repair a loose uPVC handle. First, you'll need to close the window and perform a test fitting. The corners of the sash need to be aligned with the casing joint. If it doesn't, you can use the screwdriver to loosen up the handle. Then, turn the mechanism into position.
