Get a Better View This Spring

Are your windows getting hard to see out of? Do you miss the crystal clear view that you used to have?If your problem isn’t due to dirty glass, it may be time to say goodbye to your old windows and say hello to new ones this spring.Foggy Windows There are ways to fix foggy windows, but it involves having a professional come out and drill holes directly in the glass. The holes are needed to relieve the condensation buildup from the solar pumping that occurs with multiple-paned windows.If you have this problem, it is never recommended that you try and drill holes in the glass yourself. This is a highly specialized skill and those that don’t know what they are doing end up with broken windows.However, if a window gets to the point that the desiccant is no longer absorbing, the window has aged past its point of efficiency and is most likely showing other signs of aging in addition to the fogging. So in all reality, instead of just trying to put a band aid on one problem, it may be time to have the whole window replaced.Regardless of what you decide to do, you need to do something once your windows start to fog, and not just to get your clear view back. Allowing this problem to continue will increase the damage that the condensation inside the panes is doing to the rest of the window.Glass EtchingWindow glass damaged from chemicals, scratches, or sand can be repaired so that you can get your view back.
