Signs You Need Insulated Glass Replacement
Fog or Condensation
Foggy windows often result from damaged seals that allow moisture to enter between glass panes, leading to noticeable moisture buildup and compromised insulation and visibility. Window seals can fail due to age, poor installation, or extreme weather conditions, causing condensation or fogginess in insulated glass windows. Apex expertly restores clarity and insulation, fixing seals to eliminate condensation, enhancing your home’s comfort.
Cracks or Chips
Visible damage compromises the integrity of the insulated glass unit, reduces efficiency, and poses safety risks. The condition and construction of window frames are crucial in maintaining the structural integrity and performance of the window.

FAQs
Can I replace just one pane of glass or do I need to replace the entire insulated window?
While it’s technically possible to replace just one pane of glass in an insulated glass unit, it’s generally more cost-effective and practical to replace the window glass by focusing on the insulated glass unit rather than the entire window. This ensures optimal performance and maintains the integrity of the insulation.
Does my insulated Glass Need Repairs?
Insulated glass units (IGUs), consist of two panes of glass separated by a spacer and sealed to create an air pocket. This design improves energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer. Upgrading to insulated window panes can further enhance energy efficiency and comfort. Over time, however, the seals can fail, leading to condensation between the panes and reduced insulation performance.
In such cases, it is possible to repair the window by replacing the damaged or failed insulated glass units. Replacement glass, especially quality tempered glass, is crucial for durability in window repairs and upgrades. New glass can be installed to replace these units, ensuring timely completion of the replacement process.
How long does it typically take to replace insulated glass units?
The time required to replace insulated glass units can vary depending on factors such as the size of the window, accessibility, and the complexity of the installation. In general, most replacements can be completed within a few hours to a full day. However, more extensive or specialized installations may take longer.
What is a thermal pane window?
A thermal pane window, also known as an insulated glass unit (IGU) window, is a window unit with two or more panes of glass separated by an airtight space filled with an insulating gas (usually argon or krypton). This creates a barrier that slows heat transfer, improving energy efficiency and reducing noise pollution.
How much more efficient are thermal panes?
The exact improvement in energy efficiency depends on factors like the type of gas filling, number of panes, and climate. However, studies suggest thermal panes can be 2-3 times more energy-efficient than single-pane windows.
