Ortaca Double Glazing and Glass Systems

We confirm the production and installation time at the survey, based on sizes and the chosen system. Because our workshop is in Ortaca, we can usually offer a survey on the same day or the next day.

No, in most cases you do not. Mist between the two panes shows that the glass unit has lost its seal; this cannot be fixed by wiping the glass. If the window frame and sash are sound, only the double glazed unit is remade to size and replaced. This is much more economical than replacing the whole window and is usually done in a few hours. During replacement you can also improve insulation by choosing low-E coated glass. After measuring, a new glass unit is made and on installation day the old glass is removed and the new one fitted.

Tempered glass is heat-treated to be much stronger than normal glass; when broken, it shatters into small blunt pieces instead of sharp shards. It is used in glass balconies, shower enclosures and door glazing. Laminated glass consists of two panes bonded with a special film; when broken, the pieces stay attached to the film. It is preferred where safety, impact resistance and sound insulation are needed, for example in homes near the airport or large panes close to floor level. Both glass types can also be combined in a single double glazed unit.
