Window seals? Isn't it just steam??


Hello everyone, Window seals? What are they? Do I have a problem with mine? Double pane glass has gas between the layers. When the seal is compromised, the gas escapes and the window starts to look like "modern art". The only way to know if the seal is gone is to feel with your hand on both sides of the window or door. If the "cloudy look" doesn't erase, your seal is gone. The cure is either to call a glass company to replace the damaged pane, or hire a contractor to replace the complete window. The first is definately cheaper.

A common cause of bad seals is closing the windows too hard. Another is the contractor wasn't careful handling the window when installing. The last is just window failure.

Remember.....if you have a question or comment.......write me!
Take care,
Ed
