New double-pane windows offer a variety of perks for
homeowners in Overland Park, one being improved
energy efficiency. No matter if you’re
looking online or with an associate at a showroom, energy efficiency is a
crucial factor in the purchasing process for replacement windows.
Double-pane windows are a great option if you’re wanting better efficiency.
A lot of new double-pane
windows contain argon, a colorless, nontoxic gas that is
denser than air, which provides additional
insulation from heat and cold.. However, if you see that your
windows have become “foggy” or if they have developed condensation, it’s likely that you have developed a bigger
leak and the gas has been switched with moisture.
There are a couple things that you can do to discover
if this is what’s occurred:
- Clean the exterior and interior portion of your
glass to ensure that the condensation or fog you’re finding is in between the glass, not on the glass.
- If you determine the moisture is in fact between the glass, you can reach out to the manufacturer to determine if you
can make a warranty claim.
Depending on how old
your windows are and the conditions causing
the leak, it could make sense to start researching replacement windows. Insulation is one of
the most important aspects of your windows, and if
that is inhibited it can change
your heating and cooling expenses. Drop by
