Double Pane Window Repair Work

What Causes a Double Pane Window to Fog or Crack?

Double (or even triple) pane windows have been very common over the last 30 years. There is one sheet of glass on the outside of the window and another on the inside, with a pocket of air in between. The glass is sealed around a support between the layers of glass The air or gas in the gap helps create an insulation barrier.

Local Window Repair Services is an expert at repairing double-pane windows. When the seal between the panes fails, it allows air to flow between the two glass panes. The air contains moisture (humidity) and as the window expands during the day and contracts during the evening, more and more humidity is drawn inside the air gap. This is where the fogging comes from - moisture trapped within the glass. Over time it will result in stress fractures (cracks) in the glass and potentially water damage to the window frame and sill.

Double Pane Window Repair Process

We will remove the glass segment and measure it in three dimensions. We then order the glass to be made specifically to replace your window. Because the glass has to be custom made for your window, the typical turnaround time is two to three weeks, depending on how busy the manufacturer is.

Once the new glass is received we can install it and make your window look like new again. Call the staff at Local Window Repair Services to learn more!
