Are your windows foggy because they have broken seals? Here are a few markers you can watch out for, to help you determine if this is the case, according to Renewal by Andersen of New Jersey-New York Metro.
Water Damage
If you notice warping on your frames, water stains near your windows, or even mold growing where your windows are, there is a good chance you have damaged window seals to deal with. At their best, windows are designed to keep water damage at bay. When they lose their structural integrity, however, as they might when fog sets in, they will fail to perform as expected.
Insulation Problems
Broken window seals can affect how well your home is insulated. If you notice an increase in your home’s energy consumption, defective windows may be part of your problem. A decline in indoor air quality may also occur as properly functioning windows play a huge part in maintaining a good level of air circulation throughout your home. If you need assistance, Renewal by Andersen of New Jersey-New York Metro can help you assess if any of your existing picture, bow, bay or casement windows are in need of immediate replacement due to these issues.
Compromised Clarity
There is no need to wait for water damage to become apparent or for your home to suffer declining indoor air quality before detecting that your window seals have failed. When you notice that your windows look less clear or that they seem to never get clean enough, have them inspected right away. It is always better to err on the side of caution and that applies to keeping your windows and the rest of your home in great condition for longer too.
