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.
