Window Seal Failure: Signs You Need to Watch Out For

Windows, like any other home component, are not invulnerable to the effects of constant wear and tear. To make sure they’re in good condition, you need to inspect them regularly. Read on as the local roofers and window installers at Homecraft Inc. discuss some of the signs of window seal failure to watch out for.

Warped Window Frames

Expansion and contraction of certain window frame materials can lead to warping and bending. This issue, if severe enough, could damage the seal and the structural integrity of the whole window. Consider window replacement since warped windows detract from your home’s aesthetic appeal.

Air Intrusion

Windows provide an airtight seal so that no outdoor air can enter your home and compromise indoor comfort. To check for drafts, moisten the tip of your finger and run it along the panes’ edges. If you feel air blowing even just a tiny bit, it might be time to have the damaged seal replaced by the window and roofing pros.

Moisture Between Window Glass

Condensation on the window exterior or interior happens due to temperature differences inside and outside your home. However, if moisture occurs between the glass panes, it indicates a broken seal. The window’s insulating ability is diminished as a result of the inert gas escaping through the gaps on the pane’s damaged seals. Replacing the entire window unit is the only possible fix for this issue.

Increased Energy Bills

Window seal failure isn’t always obvious. One way to determine if you indeed have this problem is to monitor your monthly energy bills. If you see a noticeable spike within a span of a few months, it might indicate an issue with your windows’ seal. Get in touch with your local window pros to have this problem resolved as soon as possible.
