Foggy Home Windows? The Fix is Easier Than You Think.

Are your insulated glass windows foggy or wet between the panes?  This can indicate a problem with the seal on your windows. Insulated glass windows work by sandwiching gas (usually argon or krypton) or air between two panes of glass.  The double panes, coupled with the space between them, creates a barrier that keeps the cold and noise out, and efficiently insulates your home. Seeing fog or water between the panes means that your seal has failed and is no longer insulating properly.

Not to worry, though!  Baystate Screen & Window has over 15 years of experience correcting problems with windows of all sizes.  Additionally, there’s usually no need for a costly full window repair. Instead of replacing your entire window, you can simply replace the glass and fix the seal.  As colder temperatures approach New England, here are three reasons to fix your insulated glass before winter gets here.

1. Save Time – Repairs take less time than full window replacements, and cost less!  You could have a functional, newly sealed window in just a few days.
2. Save Money – Not only do repairs cost less, but you’ll save money on your home heating bills.  According to EnergyStar, upgrading to double-paned windows could save you $465 a year in New England.  If you already have them but haven’t fixed your broken seal, you are missing out on these energy savings.
3. A Quieter Home – Noise traveling into and out of your home is reduced because of the layers of glass and air.  Enjoy more privacy and fewer noise disturbances with your newly sealed windows.

For all these reasons and more, repairing your broken double paned window is an easy and affordable step to insulating and controlling the noise in your home.  Baystate Screen & Window is ready to help you insulate your home.
