Window Failure

What do we mean when we say a window has "failed?" Well, a window failure means there's moisture in between the panes of glass. There are actually two types of window failures: a seal failure, in which moisture (or condensation) leaks into the space between the panes; and 2) a window failure, in which the window is no longer keeping out the elements.

What Is Low-E?

Low-E, or low emissivity, is how a window reflects certain light length waves. A window with a good low-E lowers your energy bill because in the summer it reflects sunlight and in the winter it absorbs it to help heat your home.
