Five Signs You May Need Summertime Window Repair in Denver, CO

11/24/2016

0 Comments

 
When you have problems staying comfortable in the summer, it might make sense to think about your windows and the role they might be playing in your discomfort. But unless your windows have obvious damage, it can be difficult to pinpoint them as the reason for those higher cooling charges and why it’s always hot inside your home. With that in mind, let’s check out five signs you may need summertime window repair in Aurora, CO:

  • High energy bills: There are many logical reasons for sky-high summer energy bills—running the A/C to cool off from extreme high temperatures being just one. But oftentimes in the hunt for what’s causing your high cooling bills, it’s not uncommon to overlook failing windows as the culprit. Old windows, improper installation and damage are common contributors to heat creeping inside, which means needing to use your air conditioner more often and longer than normal just to make the indoor temperature bearable.

  • It’s a struggle to open or close: Over time, your window frames may begin to warp, thanks in part to expanding and contracting through weather changes. This constant action can take a toll on your windows. Also, rust and dry rot on the frame area means the deterioration of materials is imminent. If you see that a closed window’s border is not lining up with the frame, or if a window allows too much give, resulting in unintentional slamming, then you may have a busted window. Get it fixed quick so hot air can’t invade.

  • There are hot drafts: Whether a window is not closing properly or some of its hardware is faulty, a damaged window can let in a huge volume of annoying drafts on hot summer days and nights. This can have you constantly reaching to lower the thermostat on your A/C. Common issues range from the need for window insulation replacement to your old single pane glass tiptoeing on the edge of its life. Feeling toasty drafts definitely warrants a call to a professional for window repair in Littleton, CO.

  • You notice moisture buildup: When you see that your windows are foggy or look a little moist, wiping it away may be your first instinct. Unfortunately, fogginess that refuses to wipe off means there is moisture buildup occurring in between the glass of your dual or triple pane windows. The problem here is either a broken seal or a crack on the glass somewhere that has penetrated through and settled within the composition of the glass.

  • External noise is loud and clear: Modern day window glass offers more than just a clear view of the outdoors and a way to keep the elements from encroaching on your home. With today’s high quality residential glass, you can relax without being bothered by irritating outside noise, like traffic, screaming neighbor kids, barking dogs and loud yard or construction work nearby. If external noise seems louder than usual, faulty window glass or having a problem with a vital component (such as weather seals, insulation or the frame) could be to blame.

Don’t share your home with the summer heat! When you find yourself in need of window repair in Highlands Ranch, CO, contact the glass professionals at Fast Glass. Our team can make your home much more comfortable this summer and all year long.

Waiting for Window Repair in Denver, CO? Here Are Some Tips to Tide You Over

11/14/2016

A broken window is a major inconvenience that can be the result of a number of causes, and between the mess of broken glass and the worry that insects, the elements and intruders may take advantage of the problem, you don’t want to wait too long before getting the help you need. While you are waiting for professional window repair in Denver, CO, here are some tips to give you a quick fix:

  • Secure the area: Your first step after a window has broken is to cordon off the area with the broken glass. Assess how big of a cleanup area you have by looking for glass shards on the floor, behind furniture and on top of surfaces. Make sure everyone is aware of the broken window and the area where the broken glass has spilled. You’ll want to make sure no one accidentally steps on any broken glass and gets hurt.

  • Inspect the window: How badly is the window broken? Is it cracked, completely shattered or just partially broken? Take time to inspect the window frame and pane to see if it is stable, and press gently on the glass to ensure it is not loose enough to fall out. Once you’re certain that the window glass is stable as is and no more glass will fall out, call a local glass repair company to get the window fixed as quickly as possible.

  • Protect yourself: While you’re waiting for window repair in Denver, CO, you’ll want to clean up the glass that has broken and fallen out. You’ll want to wear heavy gloves and closed-toed shoes. Place the glass in double-bagged trash bags and take them to the garbage immediately.

  • Clean up the glass: On any hard surfaces where the glass has fallen, sweep it up and then vacuum slowly. This will ensure you don’t scratch the floors with glass shards. If the window broke on carpet, pick up the pieces of glass that you can see, and then vacuum the carpet. You can agitate the carpet with a brush to bring up smaller glass pieces. Using tape afterwards will also pick up fine glass shards, and this is a good method to employ even after vacuuming.

  • Secure the broken window: Now that the area is safe, it’s time to secure the broken window. If the window is just cracked, use tape on both sides of the window along the crack to secure it from further cracking or from falling out completely. If there are small holes in the glass or tiny pieces of glass missing, you can patch this with clear nail polish applied in layers, allowing it to dry between coats. If the window has a large hole, use plastic or a piece of plywood to cover the gap or the entire window. This can be secured to the window frame and will protect you from the elements until you can get the window repaired.

Now that you have cleaned up and secured the glass from the broken window, you can rest easy while you wait for window repair in Denver, CO. When you have a broken window on your hands, call Fast Glass for fast and professional window repair at your home or business.
