What does the term "failed" mean and how can you tell when a window has "failed"?

In your search for new or replacement windows you've probably come across a lot of terms like the phrase "window failure" and wondered what it means.

Well, a window has failed if there's moisture in between the panes of glass.

There are two types of window failures:

1. a seal failure: moisture (condensation) leaks into the space between the panes.
2. a window failure: the window is no longer keeping out the elements.
