When homeowners notice issues like cracks, fogging, or drafts in their windows, the immediate assumption is often that the whole window needs to be replaced. However, the majority of window-related problems stem from the glass itself and not by the frame. Modern window technology makes it possible to improve comfort and efficiency, without the cost or disruption of a full replacement of windows.
Frames are generally made to last for decades. Frames offer structural support, durability and weather resistance, and are generally in good condition even after the glass starts to fail. By focusing on glass-only solutions homeowners can resolve the real problem while preserving the integrity of their existing windows. This focused approach reduces waste and helps save money.
Kosin’s Glass specialize in identifying whether a glass actually requires replacement or whether the glass could be repaired or upgraded instead. The professional assessment is the first step towards making an informed decision that is cost-effective and efficient.
Window Glass Seal Restoration
Foggy or cloudy windows can be a problem that is common today. This is typically the case with double-paned windows when the seal fails between the two panes. The seal is designed to prevent moisture and air from entering into the insulated space. If it is broken the seal, condensation can form within the glass unit and cause a decrease in visibility and less insulation.
Window glass restoration is the replacement of the failed insulated glass unit but keeping the original frame. The new unit is installed to replace the damaged glass. This increases the thermal efficiency and also eliminates the moisture that is trapped.
Seal restoration is directly related to energy efficiency. If the seal is damaged temperatures can escape in the winter months and return in the summer forcing HVAC systems to work more. After the seal has been replaced, the temperature of the indoor improves, energy losses are reduced and comfort is improved. In time, this will translate into lower costs for energy and less stress on heating and cooling systems.
The Insulated Window Glass Services that Improve the comfort and Efficiency
Professionally-designed insulated window services surpass simple repairs. Homeowners can improve their windows with modern glass technology. Low-E, argon filling and UV protection are all options that can be added to the insulated glass units.
Low-E (low emissivity) glass is able to reflect heat while still allowing natural light to pass through. This means that houses are warmer during the cold season and cooler in the warm season. UV protection helps prevent fade of flooring, furniture, and artwork caused by excessive exposure to the sun.
Reduced sound is another important benefit of insulated glass. Double-paned windows are a barrier to outside noises to make your house quieter and more peaceful. This is especially important when you live near busy streets or schools. zones.
Kosin’s Glass creates customized insulated glasses based on the specific needs of each home. Professional glaziers cannot offer a single-size solution for every home. They look at the size, direction and the climate and also the patterns of usage in order to determine the best glass arrangement.
Glass-Only Solutions Offer Financial and Environmental Benefits
From a fiscal standpoint the glass-only option is more affordable than a full window replacement. For new windows to be installed, it requires taking out the old ones and repairing the walls, removing the old material and paying for repairs to the factory. Glass replacement will eliminate the majority of these costs.
Professional window glass solutions can provide homeowners with hundreds or even thousands of dollars and provide nearly identical improvements in performance. The result is the same contemporary, clear windows with no visible differences from new windows.
There is also a substantial environmental benefit. The glass replacement process reduces the amount of construction waste and helps preserve existing materials. This aligns with sustainable building practices, and decreases the overall carbon footprint of home renovations.
Security is another major benefit. Families, especially pets and children are at risk of damage or cracked glass. Modern replacement glass is usually treated or laminated. This makes it more durable and safer than previous types of glass. If it breaks, it shatters into small, less harmful pieces.
