Double pane windows help keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Glass Doctor of Amarillo is here to help you with your windows. We have trained professionals who will do the job right.

How Double Pane Windows Work?

The insulated glass unit includes two or more pieces of glass and a spacer for insulation. A specialized material designed to absorb moisture called a desiccant is typically placed between the glass for further insulation.

The insulated glass unit is sealed with a sealant that prevents moisture and condensation from accumulating on the inside. Some IGUs include krypton or argon gas in the space, which provides an added level of insulation.

Double Pane Windows Solutions

If you have double pane windows that have a milky appearance, it's more than likely due to an issue of failed seals. Failed seals happen when either the gas inside escapes or the vacuum is broken and air from the outside gets in. If you notice condensation or moisture buildup in your double pane windows, this may cause the glass to appear milky white. The most common reasons double pane windows' seals fail are:

• Inferior sealants
• Faulty installation
• Adverse weather conditions
• Extreme temperatures
