Stop air and water from accumulating in your window’s glazing pocket with our window wet glazing service. At KPost Company, our team carries out window waterproofing in Dallas, TX, sealing your home or business’s windows to their frames with a durable, waterproof silicone sealant.
"I really appreciate the professionalism and responsiveness of the staff and company. The roof also looks fantastic. I highly recommend them for roof inspection, insurance claim assistance and new roof installation."
A failed seal is between the panes and shows as fog or moisture inside the glass unit that you cannot wipe away. A leaking window lets water into the building around the glass or the frame and shows as staining on the sill, the wall below, or the interior finish. They have different fixes. A failed insulating glass unit is replaced as a unit, while a perimeter leak is a sealant and flashing problem. Diagnosing which one you have decides who to call.
Wet glazing means applying a structural or weatherproofing silicone into the glazing pocket, sealing the glass to the frame in place. It is used when the original gaskets have hardened and shrunk and water is entering at the glass to frame line, and it avoids removing and resetting glass, which on a mid rise building means avoiding a great deal of access cost and disruption. It is not the answer where the frame itself is failing or where the glass unit has lost its seal.
Because the gaskets and sealants across the whole building were installed at the same time and age at the same rate. Rubber gaskets harden, shrink, and pull away from the glass over roughly the same period on every elevation, so leaks begin appearing across many units within a few years of each other. That pattern is a useful signal: scattered simultaneous leaks point to material age rather than to a single defect, which changes the repair from unit by unit patching to a planned program.
Yes, and incompatibility is a common cause of repairs that fail early. Some sealants will not adhere to certain gaskets, coatings, or previously applied products, and some cause staining or degrade the setting blocks and spacers in the glass unit. Manufacturers publish compatibility and adhesion testing for this reason, and on a large building a small adhesion test on the actual materials before full application is cheap insurance.
By testing rather than assuming, since water entering at a roof edge, a wall joint, or a coping above can run down inside the wall and appear at the window head. Controlled water testing works one detail at a time from the bottom up until the leak reproduces. Our joint sealing services cover the wall joints that are frequently the actual source.
Window Wet Glazing in Dallas
The air gap between the glass panes of your double glazing should be well sealed. If it’s not, humid air can get into the gap. Eventually, there’ll be enough moisture in the air between the two panes for condensation to form.
Many older double-glazed windows have a rubber seal. Over time, exposure to the elements can cause the rubber to break down, reducing the integrity of the seal. In some cases, the uPVC frame itself might crack, causing water to pool at the bottom of the frame.
Double-glazed windows often have desiccant built into the frame to capture any moisture, protecting the air gap. However, this is simply intended to dry out the air that’s already there, rather than as a long-term solution for capturing extra moisture. If you see condensation inside your windows, it’s likely the desiccant is saturated because there’s been a problem with the seals for a long time.
Our window caulking service offers numerous benefits, including:
Reduced likelihood of leaks
Improved long-term performance
A faster and more efficient way of sealing your windows
No need to remove and replace parts of the window to seal them
Our caulking service can help reduce the risk of water getting into the air gap. It’s a fast, efficient and cost-effective solution to problems with otherwise intact double glazing. If you’re having problems with condensation inside your windows, the experts at KPost Company can assess their condition. Based on what they see, they’ll advise you on whether caulking is likely to be an effective long-term solution.
