This is great. My windows look all grainy / foggy. I was told the seal failed. How do I measure so I know what to order prior to replacing? Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
@StarlineWindowsTonyDeBonis10 ай бұрын
Your sealed units sound like they have moisture in between them. Measuring can vary depending on the manufacture, but the best way would be is to remove the glazing stops, these are usually materials depending on composition of your windows that are either cut at 45 degree angles of straight cut that tap in that secure the glass into the frame against the tape. Not only is the width and height of the sealed units but the overall thickness usually 3/4" to 1".

How did that work out for you? It’s not always double sided tape holding it in. Sometimes it’s silicon, sometimes it is construction glue, sometimes it is hot glue. Is the window stationary? Imagine doing some of this while hanging out for a 2 story window.

@@anthonypape6862 Lowes will cut single panel of glass, but will not build you a double (panel) glazed, vacuum sealed, replacement window to replace the broken one, as is done in Tony's video. Eventually I found a vinyl company that build me one for less than $150, where a whole new window unit would have been 4x the cost.

Again ask the question why did the unit break down answer it lies in water. No attempt to test drainage won’t be long before it needs replacing again

Thanks for that and very good question, the last comment was very good, but not always possible if not labelled etc. The fool proof way is the lighter flame trick. The easiest way to explain this is to watch a you tube video and there are numerous (search how to test for Low e (flame trick). These short vids describe it hands on and very easy. Good luck!

As a window cleaner Ive had clients ask if I can clean a damaged window when it looks yellow-ish purple. I just explain to them that the window is damaged due to natural elements etc. Is this the way to replace those type of windows?
@freedomfortified Жыл бұрын
Yes, the seal has broken causeing the elements to get between the panes. There is a thin coat of metal on low-E glass and that can rust when the seal fails. The sealed unit has to be replaced like in this video.
