Which Part of a Window Can Be Replaced
This is a simple answer, everything can be replaced with the right skills and parts. We would recommend that a professional undertakes any repairs to your windows. Not only does this guarantee a perfect finish but also ensures your glazing unit is working at its efficient best.
For example, if you don’t replace glazing correctly, this can result in there being a great reduction in energy efficiency. Not forgetting the security risk to your home from intruders.
