Window Glass Seal Restoration
Foggy or cloudy glass is one of the most commonly encountered problems that plague windows of today. It typically occurs in double-paned windows when the seal fails between the panes. The seal stops moisture and air from entering the insulated space. If it breaks, then condensation can form in the glass unit. This results in less the insulation as well as a decrease in visibility.
The replacement of the failed insulated unit is completed while keeping the original frame. The old glass is carefully removed and a new sealed unit is placed on top of it. This increases the thermal efficiency and removes trapped moisture.
The restoration of seals directly impacts energy efficiency. A damaged seal could allow heat to escape and infiltrate through the winter months, causing HVAC units to work harder. Once the seal is restored indoor temperatures will stabilize, energy loss is reduced and overall comfort improves. In time, this will translate to lower energy bills and less stress on cooling and heating systems.
