Does my window need repair?
The most common scenario where windows need to be repaired is broken glass.
Whether it’s your neighborhood kid missing his target with a ball or a landscaper sending a rock through the window with a weed whacker on accident, don't worry, you're not alone!
This is a very common call we receive.
(and yes, we can help!)
Why Do Windows Get Foggy? (fogged windows)
Fogged glass replacement in Austin is something we encounter on a daily basis.
So...
What causes fogged windows?
Extreme temperatures in Texas cause dual-pane window glass seal failure, which allows moisture from humidity inside the window, giving it a fogged appearance.
The moisture inside the glass calcifies over time and turns white, making the glass an unsightly eye sore in the home.
If you're asking yourself, "is this going to happen again?" ... GREAT NEWS! The answer is no (not with us, anyway!)
Better Glass. Fewer Repairs.
Our aftermarket glass fabricators use much better materials than most OEM window suppliers.
A lot of window companies make their windows affordable by making glass as cheap as they can, by using thin glass and a non-hermetic sealing method, such as silicone and a steel spacer (which actually turns to rust once there is moisture inside the window.)
These materials are much cheaper than using butyl, aluminum box spacer or super spacer, and desacent.
Our glass fabricators use the hermetic method of hot butyl plus the other materials described above for a much more durable window that even retains the ability to contract and expand under extreme temperature variance without seal failure.
We warranty our glass and labor and provide you with better glass than what originally came with the window.
Some higher end manufacturers use the same glass as we do and guess what? We rarely get a call to change glass in those brand of windows.
