old spooky broken window

The days are getting shorter, the sun isn’t shining as often, and spooky season is upon us. With all the fun stuff like picking out Halloween costumes and getting ready for a sugar rush, we don’t notice that scary stuff isn’t just in movies and store windows. Real horror stories may be closer than you think! 

Now, slowly, without any sudden movements, turn your head toward your window… Boo!

Just kidding! However, today we want to tell you about the scariest horror stories for a window glass repair and replacement company. Not scared yet? Get ready!

Scary story 1: Fogged-up glass

You look out the window, and it looks back at you. From the inside. A foggy veil, drops of moisture, as if someone were breathing on the glass… You try to wipe it clean, but nothing works. “I’m no longer airtight…” whispers the glass. Creepy, isn’t it?

If natural causes of condensation are excluded (for more details, see our article «Window Glass Condensation: When Is It Time to Replace?»), you need to contact a specialist, because a faulty thermal seal causes discomfort and threatens to increase your heating bills. Not the most pleasant news.

We do not manufacture glass, we order it from the time-tested American brand Cardinal IG Company. When installing double-glazed windows from this brand, you get a 20-year warranty on the thermal seal. 

Scary Story 2: Broken Glass

A crack like lightning at midnight. Every draft like a ghost’s kiss. You hear a crunch, but it’s not candy wrappers. It’s glass that’s about to shatter. This is dangerous not only for your heating bills, but also for your gentle hands. Be careful not to cut yourself! Call a specialist right away!

We work with various types of window glass (insulated glass units, annealed glass, tempered glass, low-emissivity glass, patterned and colored glass). You don’t need to worry, as we will advise you in detail, tell you about each type of glass, and explain all the advantages and disadvantages. This will make it very easy for you to make a decision and choose the best option for you.

Scary story 3: Outdated glass

The window seems intact, but… it’s cold, dim, and lets in noise. It seems like it’s from another era. It doesn’t retain heat, there’s no sound insulation, and the style is like something out of an 80s movie. Don’t despair, let’s keep up with the times! We will help you make your home more modern, but if it is important for you to preserve the historical appearance of your home, we are ready to support you and do the work in the style you need.
