Many homeowners think that if there are cracks, drafts or fogging in their windows, the whole window needs to be replaced. The majority of problems related to windows are caused by the glass and not the frames. The latest technology in window glass makes it possible for homeowners to restore performance and comfort, without having to change the whole window.
Frames are typically designed to last for decades. They are structurally sound and weatherproof, and often stay in good shape for many years after the glass started to fail. The homeowner can fix the problem by focusing on the glass keeping the integrity and quality of the existing window. This approach is efficient and also saves money.
Kosin’s Glass is a specialist in determining if glass windows is able to be fixed, upgraded, or even replaced. This expert evaluation can enable you to make an informed and savvy decision.
Window Glass Seal Restoration
Cloudy or foggy glass is one of the most frequent problems with windows of today. This typically occurs with double-pane windows, when the seal between the two panes fails. This seal is responsible for keeping moisture and air from the space that is insulated. When it fails it will cause condensation inside the unit of glass and cause a decrease in visibility and less insulation.
Window glass restoration involves replacing a failed insulated-glass unit, with the frame still in place. A new sealed unit is installed to replace the damaged glass. This will restore clarity, increase thermal efficiency and get rid of the moisture.
Seal replacement directly impacts energy efficiency. If the seal is not functioning properly it allows heat to escape during winter and enter in summer forcing HVAC systems to work harder. When the seal is repaired the indoor temperature stabilizes and energy losses are reduced and comfort is improved overall. This translates into lower energy costs and less stress on heating and cooling systems.
How does Insulated Window Glass Services Improve Comfort and Efficiency
Professional insulated window glass services go beyond simple repairs. They offer homeowners the chance to upgrade their windows using modern glass technologies. Low-E, argon filling and UV protection are all options that can be added to glass units that are insulated.

Glass-Only Solutions: A Financial and Environmental Win
Financially, a glass-only window replacement is much less expensive than a complete replacement.
