3 Signs You Need To Seal Your Windows

Quality windows feature a durable seal that maximizes your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. When this seal fails, you’ll encounter many problems that require help from an expert.

Read on to learn the top three signs that your windows need sealing, then contact us for a free estimate.

You Can’t See Through Your Windows as Well

When the gas between the panes leaks through a ruptured seal, the glass can bend or break, causing distortions in your view. A broken seal can also lead to condensation, obscuring your view with fog, haze, or liquid trapped between the panes.

Debris can also build up between the panes, making your windows appear smeared or dirty, no matter how often you clean them.

You Feel Window Drafts

Another sign that your windows need sealing is when you can feel the outside air leaking into your home. During winter, you’ll likely notice cold spots around your windows. You may also see an increase in energy costs as your HVAC system works harder to heat or cool your home.

More Pests Are Entering Your Home

The condensation introduced by a faulty window seal can also attract unwanted pests. Pests are drawn to excess moisture, and small bugs can get inside your home through the gaps and cracks created by ruptured seals.

If you’ve seen insects on your windowsills or between the glass panes, your window’s seal has been compromised.
