How Do I know if my Sealed Unit is Failing?

The most obvious sign of a failed sealed unit is condensation between the panes of glass. This means that moisture has been able to seep through the seal. When this happens, the glass will appear foggy or dirty. This is not to be confused with condensation on the interior side of the window which is quite normal. In other words, if you can’t wipe away the droplets of moisture then your sealed unit has failed.

How Does my Sealed Unit Work?

In a double-paned window, two panes of glass are separated and held together by an insulating spacer, and the entire unit is clad in a sash that can be made of vinyl, aluminum, fiberglass or wood.

How Do I Fix This?!

It's really not much of a problem. When a sealed unit fails we are able to simply replace the glass in your window frame... That's right, just the glass. 

PVC Window

Casement windows

Picture a strong, durable frame made from a special kind of plastic called polyvinyl chloride, or PVC for short. This material is not only tough but also super low maintenance, meaning it'll stay looking great for years with minimal effort on your part.

​

But it's not just about durability. PVC windows are designed to keep your home cozy in the winter and cool in the summer. They're like a protective shield against the elements, helping to keep your energy bills in check by sealing in warmth during cold months and keeping out unwanted heat during the summer.

​

And let's not forget about style! PVC windows come in all sorts of designs and colors to match your home's aesthetic perfectly. Whether you prefer the classic look of a casement window or the sleek lines of a sliding window, there's a PVC option that's just right for you.

​

So, when you're thinking about upgrading your windows, think PVC. It's a smart choice that's built to last, keep you comfortable, and enhance the beauty of your home.
