Issues with glass windows and doors come from improper installation, time, and accidents. Below are some common glass problems and their solutions. Give Columbus Glass & Screen a call if you need glass installation or repair in Tucson. More than 50 years of experience in the glass industry means that your glass is in good hands. Drafty Windows and Doors There may be a leak if you feel a chill in the air when walking past your glass windows or doors. Insulation wears out with time. This problem can be solved by having a glass professional replace the stripping. Cloudy Glass Panes Foggy glass is normal on a crisp morning. But even during the driest periods of the year, condensation can result from a broken window seal. In the event of a broken seal, moisture can become trapped between glass panes, resulting in a foggy appearance. To solve this problem, replace the window sash at your local glass store. Trouble Opening or Closing Check that your window tracks are clean if you are having trouble opening or closing your window. When dust and dirt accumulate, the window becomes difficult to move. The hardware might need to be repaired or replaced if this doesn't work. Older windows in particular tend to develop sticky mechanisms. Discoloration Glass that is installed properly is transparent. You may notice your glass turning yellow if water has gotten into it. Remove stains by mixing 50 percent vinegar with 50 percent water, scrubbing the glass with a soft sponge, and rinsing with water. You may have to replace the glass completely if the stain still cannot be removed.
