Windows need seals and insulation to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. If your home has been cooler lately or you are experiencing condensation on your windows, it may be time to replace them or see if they can be resealed. Can windows be resealed properly though?

Signs You Need To Reseal Windows
Moisture Intrusion
If you look around the window and notice moisture or even small gaps where moisture could enter this is a good sign to fix the seals on your windows. Moisture can cause wood to rot, mold to start growing or cause windows to need to be totally replaced.
Drafts
Experiencing drafts inside your home can be caused by multiple areas in your home. When your windows have gaps they can let the cooler weather into your home and increase your energy bills. Resealing with caulk or installing a new seal or rubber strip will help prevent drafts.
Streaking Between Panes Of Glass
When you notice streaking on your windows is probably a main sign to replace the entire window. Moisture between panes of glass means that the treatment of the glass has failed. Factories put a low emissivity coating to help keep heat away, but when this fades, there is not much that can be done besides replacing them.
Rotting Or Cracked Frame
Unsealed windows can lead to rotting in the wooden frame that surrounds the windows. Resealing your windows can help stop the rotting but when the deterioration has become too extensive, you will need to replace the frame.
Benefits Of Resealing Windows
There are many benefits of resealed windows that can help improve your home. Moyes Glass wants to help you reap all the benefits of windows and natural light.
When you have your windows professionally resealed, you will see better energy efficiency in your home which will help lower energy bills. Good seals will also help prevent condensation and moisture problems that can damage the integrity of your windows.
Can Resealed Windows Save You Money?
Paying to replace the seals or the entire window may seem expensive, but in the long run, having proper seals will help save you money. Lower energy bills will help you have a more energy-efficient home and stop wasting money to overheat your home because of drafts. Resealed windows can also help you get more life out of the current glass and window frame if done in a timely manner. If the window is resealed properly and before deterioration has occurred to the windows, you can get a longer lifespan out of your current window solutions.
