Glazing Repairs
When things go wrong with windows and doors, it’s easy to put off the repair, worrying that it will be too expensive. Thankfully, FIX from CR Smith offers a whole range of services so your doors and windows can once again look and function as they should.
Misted Windows
Can’t see out of your window because of condensation inside your sealed double glazed unit? This is commonly caused by the seal that binds the glass together breaking down. To repair misted or cloudy double glazing you don’t have to change the whole window, you can just replace the glass instead. The job is quick to do, as we simply take out the glass unit, replace it with a new one and return the window to its former glory.
Specialist Glazing

These include a range of tinted or coated glass, as well as toughened safety glass and laminated security glass in a variety of thicknesses to suit your individual needs.

We’ll take out the broken glass and replace with new, instantly improving your windows appearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I get condensation on the outside of my windows?
With modern glazing more heat is kept inside, moisture condenses on a cold surface, so external condensation is actually your window doing a good job of keeping the warmth in.
Why do I get condensation on the inside of my windows?
Internal condensation usually occurs in the winter, when the warm moist air comes in to contact with the glass, which is typically colder. The best solution to minimise internal condensation is to increase ventilation. It may be possible to retrospectively fit trickle vents in older windows, which will help reduce condensation.
Why do I get condensation in between the two panes of glass?
Condensation in between two panes is due to the failure of the seal around the window. The only solution to solve this problem in the Scottish climate is to replace the double glazed unit.
How long will does it take to change a double glazed unit?
Typically an uPVC double glazed unit takes around half an hour to replace.
