In Portstewart, as everywhere, a slipped panel is a glass unit that has slid down its glazing bars, leaving a gap at the top and often pushing past the eaves at the bottom. Send photos and we'll tell you what we think has failed.

Is it time for slipped glass panel repairs?

  • Glass edge overhanging the eaves more than its neighbours
  • A leak at the top of one pane only
  • A pane that looks out of line with the others

Common causes we find

Missing setting blocks

Blocks under the bottom edge carry the weight of the unit; if they're missing or crushed, the unit creeps down.

Loose cappings

If the capping no longer clamps the glass firmly, the unit can creep with thermal movement.

About Portstewart and the BT55 area

Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.
