uPVC is an excellent choice for modern homes. They are durable, long-lasting and easy to maintain. They don't rot or rust like aluminum and timber.

1. Broken Glass
If the glass in your window is damaged, it can cause a great deal of damage to your home, making it extremely dangerous and possibly fatal. It is essential to ensure that your windows are in good condition.
Single-pane windows are relatively easy to replace, and they typically fit into frames that were previously in use very easily. However, if windows with double panes are held in place by internal beading, it'll be more difficult to remove the existing panes and install new ones. In this situation, you will need to source some plastic spacers that will aid the new pane in being able to fit perfectly into the frame of the window.
Wearing eye protection and heavy gloves is essential for anyone who plans to remove the glass by yourself. You should also lay down a dropcloth prior to you begin working on the window panes, so that any shards fall on the fabric and not on the floor and could be trampled.
It's a good idea to seal the gap after the glass is removed. This will keep drafts and water from getting into your home until a professional comes out to repair the window. This will also act as a barrier, deterring any intruders from getting access to your home.

Once you've repositioned the hinges, close your window and verify the fitting. If you're satisfied with the size of the window, you can tighten screws to keep them in the right position.
