Dual-Pane Insulated Glass
What Are Dual-Pane Insulated Glass Windows?
Dual-pane insulated glass windows are designed with two panes of glass with a sealed compartment in between filled with an inert gas to create an insulating layer. In addition to maximizing indoor comfort, these windows also reduce noise, making them perfect for homes in the Bay Area. If one or both panes of glass become damaged, or there is damage to the seal between the pieces of glass, the window will work less efficiently, and you may notice an uptick in your home energy usage as well as visible signs of damage like fogging between the window panes.
Dual-Pane Insulated Glass Replacement in the Bay Area
When dual-pane windows become damaged, you may consider replacing the entire window. However, if the window frame is still in good shape, you might replace just the glass itself. To do that, you’ll need to contact a glass company that can fabricate a custom-fitted insulated glass unit (IGU), which is fully sealed and sized to fit your existing windows. Valley Glass Company has decades of experience in dual-pane insulated glass replacement, and we can help you understand your options for repairing your damaged windows.
Signs Your Dual-Pane Insulated Glass Needs Replacement
Your home’s windows are essential for maintaining your comfort and keeping your utility bills down. If you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to contact Valley Glass Company to get an estimate for dual-pane insulated glass replacement:
- There Is Visible Damage to the Glass – The most obvious time to replace insulated glass is when something has cracked or broken it.
- You Have Persistent Fogging – Foggy windows occur when moisture builds up between the glass.
- Your Energy Bills Are Rising – Damaged glass can raise your energy bills. Contact Valley Glass for insulated glass replacement.
Replace the Glass, Not the Entire Window
By simply replacing the glass and not the entire window, you can maintain the aesthetics of your home, reduce total repair costs, and maintain the same energy efficiency as you had when the windows were first installed. Plus, you may only have damage to one or a small handful of windows, not every window in the house. Replacing just the glass prevents you from having to make a major investment in whole-home window replacement.
