If homeowners notice cracks or fogging around their windows they often think that the entire window has to be replaced. The majority of window-related problems are caused by the glass and not the frame. The latest technology in window glass makes it possible for homeowners to restore performance and comfort without having change the whole window.
Frames last for decades. They’re structurally solid and weatherproof, and are often in good condition for a number of years even after the glass has begun to break. Concentrating solely on solutions for glass allows homeowners to fix problems and protect the strength of their windows. This approach is more effective it saves money and offers long-term benefits at less expense.
Kosin’s Glass specializes in determining whether or not a window requires replacement or if it could be fixed or upgraded. A professional assessment is the initial step in making a smart, economically-sound decision.
Window Glass Seal Restoration
Foggy or cloudy windows are a frequent issue nowadays. Double-paned windows are likely to suffer from this issue when the seal between them fails. The seal prevents moisture and air from entering into the area that is insulated. When it fails there will be condensation within the glass piece that can result in poor visibility and decreased insulation.
Window glass restoration involves replacing the failed insulated glass unit but keeping the original frame. The new unit replaces the previous glass. This can restore clarity, increase thermal efficiency and remove the moisture that has been trapped.
The restoration of seals directly impacts energy efficiency. A leaky seal can cause heat to escape in winter, but then return in summer, causing HVAC systems to perform harder. After the seal is repaired, the temperature in the home improves, energy losses are lessened and comfort is improved. This can result in lower energy bills over time and less stress on the cooling and heating systems.
The Insulated Window Glass Services that Improve the comfort and Efficiency
Professional insulated window glass services go beyond simple repairs. Homeowners can enhance their windows using the latest glass technology. Insulating glass units are enhanced by coatings with Low-E and argon gas.
Low-E glass (low emissivity), which reflects the heat but lets light to flow through. This ensures that homes remain warmer during colder seasons and cooler in warmer ones. UV protection stops fading caused by prolonged exposure to the sun on furniture, flooring, and artwork.
Insulated glass is also a good way to reduce noise. Double-pane glass is a barrier against outside noise creating homes that are quieter and more peaceful. This is especially beneficial in houses that are located close to noisy roads or schools.
Kosin’s Glass creates customized insulated glasses that are based on the particular requirements of each house. Instead of providing a single-size-fits-all solution Professional glaziers evaluate window size, orientation, climate conditions, and usage patterns to determine the most effective glass configuration.
Glass-Only Solutions Offer Financial and environmental benefits
Glass-only replacements cost significantly less than replacement windows that are complete. For new windows to be installed, it requires taking out the old ones, repairing the walls, disposing off of the old material and paying for repairs to the factory. A majority of these costs can be eliminated through replacement of the glass.
Professional window glass services can help homeowners save hundreds of thousands of dollars and provide nearly the same improvement in performance. The result is the same sleek, modern windows with no noticeable differences between new installations.
There is also an environmental benefit. Replacing only the glass reduces the waste of construction and also preserves existing materials. This practice is compatible with sustainable construction practices and reduces overall carbon footprint.
Another key benefit is safety. Glass that has been damaged or cracked poses dangers to families, particularly pets and children. Modern replacement glass tends to be made of laminate or tempered. It is stronger and safer than previous kinds of glass. It’s safer if it is broken.
