Sealed units are a crucial component of modern windows, typically featuring double panes that enhance their energy efficiency. These units consist of two glass sheets sealed tightly together, leaving a gap in between that is often filled with argon or krypton gas. This design helps to insulate your home more effectively by minimizing heat transfer.
However, if the seal of your double-paned windows becomes compromised, perhaps due to a crack in one or both panes, the consequences include foggy windows, drafts, and moisture accumulation. When this happens, the integrity of the sealed unit is lost, requiring both panes to be replaced. Fortunately, it’s usually unnecessary to replace the entire window. At Modern Windows, we specialize in replacing just the sealed units while keeping the existing frame intact and in place, providing a cost-effective and efficient solution to maintain your windows’ performance and appearance.
Whether your window has started looking a little foggy or has been completely shattered and needs replacing immediately, the best place to start is by scheduling a free consultation with our team of professionals.
One of our expert team members will come to your home to assess the condition of the window frame. If the frames (casing, trim and sill plate) are in good shape we can proceed with replacing just the sealed unit. Frames are typically considered in good condition if they are less than 15 years old, made from vinyl or aluminum and are free from any defects.
