Do your windows feel draughty, do you see condensation between the panes, or does your heating bill rise every year? Then replacing the glass is often a smart and affordable step. You don't have to replace the entire window right away. In many cases it's enough to swap only the glass for a more energy-efficient type, which instantly improves the comfort in your home.
At Glazer in Antwerp we fit made-to-measure windows and doors, but we're just as happy to help when only the glass needs replacing. We take an honest look at your situation, explain the options clearly and prepare the entire grant application for you. That way you know exactly where you stand in advance, with no surprises later. That's what we mean by visible quality.
Not every problem with a window calls for a complete replacement of the frame. When the window frame itself is still in good condition, replacing only the glass is often enough. That's usually a quicker and cheaper job than a brand-new window, while you still benefit from modern insulation.
A number of signs indicate that replacing the glass is worthwhile. Think of condensation or fogging between the two panes, which means the seal of the insulating glass is no longer airtight. Cold radiation near the window, a high heating bill or single glazing still in the home are also good reasons to look into the options.
Sometimes, however, the window frame itself is worn, warped or no longer properly sealable. In that case it may be more cost-effective in the long run to replace the entire window. At Glazer we give honest advice about this. We don't steer you towards the most expensive solution, but towards the one that makes the most sense for your home.
The choice of glass largely determines the comfort and energy savings you'll gain. Single glazing barely insulates and lets a lot of heat escape. Replace it with modern insulating glass and you'll notice the difference almost immediately in a warmer, quieter interior.
Double glazing consists of two panes with an insulated cavity between them and is a clear improvement over single glazing. High-performance glass, also known as HR glass, goes a step further thanks to a special coating and a noble-gas filling that keeps heat in better. For those who want maximum insulation, there is triple high-performance glazing, with three panes and two insulated cavities.
Which glass suits you best depends on your home, your budget and your wishes when it comes to insulation, sound and safety. At Glazer we calmly discuss the options with you and explain the differences in plain language. That way you make an informed choice instead of a guess.
Replacing the glass is possible in almost any type of window, whether the frame is made of PVC, aluminium or wood. Each material has its own properties, and the way it's fitted varies slightly per type. That's why we always take a close look at the existing window before we get started.
PVC is low-maintenance and naturally insulates well, which makes it a popular choice for many homes. Aluminium is exceptionally strong with a sleek look and lends itself well to large glazed sections. Wood has a warm, classic appearance and pairs beautifully with characterful or authentic homes, and requires a little periodic maintenance.
If you're fitting new windows, we're happy to help you choose the material that suits your style and situation. If you only want to renew the glass, we make sure the new glass is fitted correctly and neatly into the existing frame. In both cases craftsmanship comes first, because a good installation is decisive for the end result.
Good glass is only half the story. The way it's fitted determines whether you actually get the full insulation value. A sloppy seal or incorrectly placed glazing can lead to draughts, moisture or even premature wear of the glass.
The professionals at Glazer fit your glass carefully, with attention to a proper seal and a neat finish. We work in and around Antwerp and take the time to do the job well. Personal and honest advice is simply part of that for us, both before and after installation.
Modern insulating glass requires little maintenance. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and water keeps the glass clear. For windows with wooden or metal frames, it pays to occasionally check the seals and the hardware, so everything keeps working smoothly and stays well sealed.
Replacing the glass is also a good moment to think about safety and sound. Not all glass offers the same protection, and depending on your situation, specific types of glass can be a valuable addition to the insulation.
For extra safety there is laminated or reinforced glass, which is harder to break and doesn't shatter into sharp pieces when it does. That can be interesting for ground-floor windows, doors with glass or places where burglar resistance plays a role. If you live along a busy street, glass with extra sound insulation can considerably improve your living comfort.
We're happy to look together at which properties are worthwhile for you. We map out your wishes regarding safety, sound and insulation and draw up a suitable proposal based on that. That way you get glass that not only insulates better, but also fits how you use your home.
Anyone who invests in energy-efficient glass may be eligible for grants. The conditions and amounts depend on factors such as the type of glass, your home and the rules in force at the time of the work. Because those rules can change, it's important to base things on the current situation.
The grant story can feel complicated, with forms, conditions and supporting documents. Glazer takes that work off your hands by preparing the complete grant application for you. This increases the chance that everything is submitted correctly and in full, and saves you a lot of digging around.
