“..My windows always look cloudy..” I get that a lot in Palma Ceia. People will clean and clean their glass but the fog will still be there. The only thing between you and the outside air is that cloudy glass. Excellent Sliding Door provides Window Repair Service in Palma Ceia and we find that foggy double pane glass makes up a large percentage of our repair work in this area.
Palma Ceia consists of mostly older bungalows and newer two-story homes, many of which were equipped with double pane windows 15-20 years ago. And in Florida, we know how hard heat can be on windows.
Why Double Pane Windows Get Foggy
A double pane window consists of two panes of glass with space between them, which is sealed to keep out moisture in the air. As time goes on and a window is exposed to the sun, the seal between the two panes of glass will wear down allowing humid air to enter. The air that enters will cause fogging, lines or white spots in the glass that cannot be wiped away.
Our Window Repair Service in Palma Ceia can fix most windows by replacing the glass only. We can replace the entire glass unit and keep the rest of the window frame intact. We can make it look like new again and get rid of the fog.
Glass Repair Service in Palma Ceia
Our glass repair service in Palma Ceia covers:
- Foggy double pane glass
- Cracked or broken panes
- Low E glass to cut heat and UV
- Impact glass for more storm protection
Low E glass is worth a question. Low E glass has a thin layer on the glass surface which reflects heat back from escaping from a room. For a west facing room this makes a big difference in August to the perceived warmth of the room.
Screen Repair in Palma Ceia
We can repair torn window screens, loose splines or bent frames quickly. We also repair screens for pool cages and lanais in Palma Ceia. It costs way less to fix a few panels of your pool cage after a storm instead of completely rebuilding the cage.
Sticky Windows and Worn Hardware
Not every problem is glass. Sliding windows get hard to move when the rollers wear out or dirt packs into the track. Single hung windows drop or stick when the balance wears out. Locks stop catching when the frame shifts. These are parts, and parts can be replaced.
Look for early signs of wear. A window that requires two hands to open, a lock that must be ‘jiggled’ to open and close, and sashes that will not remain up are all indicators that a part is worn and could fail soon if not repaired. It will cost less to repair now than to replace later when it has failed.
Window Repair FAQs for Palma Ceia
Is foggy glass a big deal?
Windows that fail to seal can cause you to lose heating efficiency and force your air conditioning to work harder to try to cool your home.
Does my window warranty cover foggy glass?
Some brands do label their frames and/or glass. We can help you locate the labeling in your documentation or on the frame itself.
How much does it cost to fix a foggy window?
Cost depends on size and type of glass. Replacing the glass unit in a window is usually less expensive than installing entirely new windows. We can provide you with an estimate after reviewing a photo of the window along with the size. We can even provide an estimate at the time of our appointment.
