Repair or Replace Foggy Windows?

August 24, 2021seanadmin

Have you ever spent the entire afternoon trying to clean foggy windows, only to realize that the problem is between the panes? A failed window seal creates a fogged window, making it one of the common reasons you might need a window replacement. A fogged window isn’t a structural issue but an aesthetic problem. It can influence the overall ambiance of your house. In such a situation, you’re probably wondering if replacing or repairing the window is a better option. Below, we will discuss some options you can choose to solve the problem.

Should You Repair or Replace the Window?

Repairing your fogged window requires expert assistance. Fixing it all alone can be a challenge. Therefore, it is better to hire a professional team. But, the cost for window repairing can range from $159 to $512. However, when you decide to replace the windows, you can cut down on costs. Many factors can impact replacement costs. For instance, you can choose between different frame materials and glass types. Furthermore, it may depend on the number of glass panes, color, and other options. To help you make a better decision, we will explore some options:

Window Replacement

Sometimes, you have to change the window because of severe damage. Fixing damaged windows will cost more money as well as effort. Replacing the windows will once and for all will solve all future issues. Repairing damaged seals and windows is often an expensive choice. On the other hand, replacing the window is a long-term yet cost-effective solution. Furthermore, you won’t find any need to repair your windows for a long-time.

Sash Replacement

Make sure to check if your window sashes are removable or fixed. If the sash is removable, you can simply replace the sash. Sash replacement would be more inexpensive and effective than a complete replacement. However, replacing the window can revamp your home’s appearance. Plus, it will keep maintenance costs low for a significant time.

Glass Replacement

You can also replace the glass if the problem isn’t very severe. This is a cost-effective solution that does not require staining and painting. However, this is only a short-term solution, and it’s quite possible that you will find the need to replace the entire window soon. If the window frame is the issue, you need a permanent fix. Replace the entire window to save time and money. Sometimes, people replace the glass, but the problem prevails. In this case, complete window replacement is the best solution.

Conclusion

The best solution for a fogged and damaged window is a replacement. The best window replacement choice is to select a high-quality window. Also, if you buy a new house, replacing the windows will change the exterior and interior looks of your home. Purchasing and installing a new window requires professional help. When you have little or no experience with windows, you need to contact a window expert. Reach out to Atlantic Window Warehouse today.
