A broken window seal can lead to drafts, rising energy costs, and fogged up glass. When window seals fail, condensation can get trapped between panes, resulting in a cloudy window. Though a broken seal may not seem like a big deal, also time, it can lead to larger issues.
Can You Repair a Broken Window Seal?
While fixing a window seal may seem like an easy DIY project, we only recommend doing so if you have the proper experience. This requires specialized tools and knowledge. There are temporary fixes, such as weatherstripping or calk, but these are really only a good idea for smaller drafts. They will not, however, address the root issue. Having a professional replace your window or reseal is the best way to ensure proper energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal.
Why Addressing a Broken Seal Matters
A broken seal affects energy efficiency by allowing air to escape, leading to higher heating and cooling bills. A broken seal also causes a foggy or discolored appearance to your windows which can lower curb appeal. In addition, condensation that gets trapped between panes can lead to mildew and mold growth.
