The essence of a room.

Windows are the essence of a room and with thermal windows increase the energy efficiency of a house. But when the seals fail, moisture starts developing between the panes, giving it a wet look. Within time the moisture is drying out giving it a white calcium built up, a dirty look.
The energy efficiency of the window is loss. This is what they look after a while. Pretty ugly uh!
Some times the panes can be replaced and fixed; and some times it will need total replacement of window.

Yes Roy it does destroy the view, here we will recomment a company called Fogfree, go to www.fogfree.ca  as some windows can be saved and they then all should be checked.
