It’s that Time of The Season Again Where Leaky, Drafty Windows Turn from A Minor Nuisance Into a Frigid Problem!

For the comfort and health of your family or employees, it is important to keep the climate in your home or business at a balanced and temperate level. Replacing or repairing those leaky or drafty windows is a critical step in that process.
Things like broken windowpanes, windowpane cracks and eroding window seals can all contribute to needing a window repaired. Here at Capital Glass, we specialize in glass replacement, glass repair, window repair and window replacement and can offer a quote on what it would take to fix or repair your glass.
Another important factor in keeping your home environment draft-free is ensuring your storm doors are closing properly and your outside doors are sealed properly as well. Improperly sealed outer doors or storm doors can cause a loss of environmental warmth at a rapid rate. This can be solved by redoing the weather stripping around the door or re-caulking the door trim.
Even if your outer doors are sealed properly, your storm door still makes a difference in a situation where you may have potential loss of internal climate. By making sure your storm door latches properly and is making a good seal, you can enhance the effectiveness of your outer doors that much more.
Also, the glass on your storm doors should be sealed properly and making good contact with the door frame. It is not uncommon to have loose glass panels on your storm doors, more so than windows due to the constant movement unlike a stationary windowpane. Making sure your storm doors and outer doors are sealed, up to code, and draft free is something we can help with.
As for businesses, eliminating drafts especially this time of year is important. Things like standing in line, or waiting to speak to someone may require being in a single spot for a length of time. Because of this, no one wants to make that wait while experiencing cold drafts! Commercial windowpanes are unique in that most of these installations are done with custom fits. Replacing this can get costly, and although there are times where glass replacement is the best bet, often times a repair and reseal can make a world of difference and we may be able to save you some money in the long run.
