When homeowners notice issues like cracks or fogging in their windows, the initial assumption is that the entire window has to be replaced. The glass is the main reason for the majority of window problems but it’s not the frame.

The most common windows problems today is fog or cloudy glass. Double-paned windows are the most likely to have this problem when the seal between them is broken. The seal blocks moisture and air from entering through the insulated region. If it fails it will cause condensation inside the glass, resulting in low visibility and less insulation.
Window glass restoration is the replacement of an insulated glass unit that has failed, but keeping the original frame. The new unit is installed to replace the damaged glass. This restores clarity and improve thermal performance and also remove the moisture that has been trapped.
Seal replacement directly affects energy efficiency. A damaged seal can allow heat to escape during winter, but then return in summer, which forces HVAC systems to be more efficient. Once the seal is restored indoor temperatures are stabilized, energy loss is reduced and overall comfort improves. In time, this will translate into lower costs for energy and less stress on cooling and heating systems.
