Fogged up Windows - A short story and a silly radio ad

/

This is a tiny post about fogged up windows.

The short part: Nobody likes fogged up windows. They are ugly and hard to see out of.

The longer part: Double pane windows are typically insulated with Argon gas and the spacer in the window seals the window keeping the gas intact. When that seal breaks (often called seal failure) the gas rushes out and wind and water squeeze their way in causing unsightly condensation between the glass. This is different than weather related condensation on just the inside or the outside of the glass. Once your window experiences seal failure there is nothing you can do. You have to suffer with not being able to see out of it or you need to replace it.

The fun part: Our latest radio ad.
