Double pane windows include two panes of glass, which are separated from each other. Argon gass retains cold and heat between the windows, forming a so-called barrier to block these temperatures from affecting your home. That results in energy savings, so you get lower energy costs as well as less noise, which makes a great difference in modern life. But be ready that they are not sound-proof. You will get more noise insulation, using the thicker panes.

The Most Common Problems With Double-Pane Windows?
Water Leaks
A seal failure in double-pane windows usually can be attended by water leaks. Whereas water corrodes materails, as time went on, it is even neadless to say that frequent exposure to moisture makes many extra issues for you and your windows. Most likely you have the airtight seal between the panes being compromised, that leads to buliding up of leak and moisture. For this reason you should check the exterior and interior panes for cracks in the seals.
Air leaks
Draft is one more problem, which is common for owners of a double pane window. If your windows isn’t insulated or even installed in a proper way, you’ll exactly confront the challenge of air leaks. As well as leaks of water, seal failure may cause drafts. Therefore, it’s better to resort to your window company for inspecting the window and consulting you.
Condensation
Condensation on the outer panes of your windows is not something unusual. You may rest assured it is so. This could mean that the glass and surrounding atmosphere have different temperatures. While the issue arises due to seal or gas fill failure, you need to pay more attention to this situation.
Fixing the Broken Double-Pane Window by Yourself
Of course, there are ways to fix a broken glass yourself. First of all, you should remove the window sash and relegate it to a glass service store. Then, order replacement glass and replace the broken part with the new glass. However, fixing yourself is not the best way for the issue of a broken glass. To speed up a repair of your window you should remember that seals must be installed properly. It is better to leave the repair to the experts though and they are able to fix the glass that is broken or damaged without replacing, as usual. It definitely will save your money and time.
