Window Glass Cleaning Tips from NU-VIEW Glass Inc. Arizona


Homeowners often clean their windows with wadded-up paper towels or newspaper, spray cleaner, and alot of elbow grease. All that rubbing isn't really a good idea. You're really just moving dirt around from one spot to another and putting a static charge on the glass, which attracts dust and dirt. As soon as you finish, the window looks dirty again.

Dual Pane Window Spacers


The panes of glass in an insulating unit must be kept apart at the appropriate distance by spacers. In addition to keeping the glass panes separated, the spacer system serves a number of other functions:

• Accommodate stress induced by thermal expansion and pressure differences;
• Provides a moisture barrier that prevents passage of water or water vapor that would fog the unit;
• Provides a gas-tight seal that prevents the loss of any special low-conductance gas in the air space;
• Creates an insulating barrier that reduces the formation of interior condensation at the edge

Foggy Window Repair: Is It Worth The Money?


Insulating glass is created by bonding two panes of glass together along their perimeter while maintaining a (usually) 1/2- to 3/4-in. space between them.

Insulating glass in windows and doors has to put up with a lot of abuse. The seals have to withstand slamming and banging. They have to be flexible enough to allow the panes to contract in cold weather and expand in hot. The seals can’t stiffen and become brittle in the cold or soften and ooze when it’s warm. They have to stand up to wind, hail, rain, damaging ultraviolet rays, age and atmospheric pressure changes.
