IGU and Foggy Window FAQs
What causes fogging in double-pane windows?
Fogging occurs when the seal of the insulated glass unit fails, allowing moisture to enter the air space between panes. The unit then no longer provides thermal insulation, resulting in visible condensation or clouding.
Can foggy windows be repaired without replacement?
Although temporary clearing methods exist, they rarely restore the unit’s insulating properties or provide a durable solution. The most reliable fix is IGU replacement.
How long does an IGU replacement take?
After measurement, fabrication lead time depends on custom options. Standard units can be fabricated within several business days; complex or coated units may take slightly longer. Installation typically takes a short period per window when frames are accessible and in good condition.
Window Replacement FAQs
How do I know if I need full window replacement versus IGU replacement?
If frames and sashes are structurally sound, an IGU replacement often suffices. If frames are rotted, warped, or significantly inefficient, a full window replacement with a new frame will deliver the best long-term performance.
Are your window installations energy efficient?
Yes. We offer energy-efficient options including low-E coatings, argon fills, and warm-edge spacers. Our installation techniques also emphasize proper sealing and flashing to improve performance.
