Winter in Denver can arrive fast and unexpectedly. When it does, leaky windows and condensation problems don’t just make your home uncomfortable — they can cause higher energy bills, rot, mold, and expensive repairs. If you’ve noticed foggy glass, cold drafts, or water stains around your window frames, now is the time to act. New Windows for America — Denver’s most trusted window experts — can help you identify the problem, explain why it’s happening, and provide affordable, factory-direct solutions with no minimum order required.
How to Detect Leaks and Condensation (quick checklist)
Before you call for help, run a quick inspection. These signs point to window problems:
- Interior fogging between panes — moisture trapped inside double- or triple-pane units means the sealed unit has failed.
- Visible condensation on the glass — persistent interior condensation (not just morning dew) often indicates poor insulation or ventilation problems.
- Drafts or cold spots — if you feel air coming through the frame or window edge, the seal or installation may be compromised.
- Water stains or rot around the frame — discoloration, peeling paint, or soft framing materials mean water infiltration and potential structural damage.
- Difficulty opening or closing — swelling from moisture or warped frames makes operation hard and signals damage.
If you notice one or more of these signs, don’t wait until temperatures drop. Winter exacerbates the damage and raises your heating costs.
Why Do These Problems Happen?
Understanding the causes helps you choose the right fix:
- Failed seals in insulated glass units (IGUs): Over time, the edge seal between glass panes can degrade, allowing moist air to enter and fog the interior of the unit. Once sealed units fail, performance and insulating value drop dramatically.
- Poor or aging installation: Even good windows can leak if they weren’t installed correctly or the flashing and caulking have failed. Settlement of the home or gaps in the frame cause air and water infiltration.
- Condensation from humidity: Homes with high indoor humidity (from cooking, showers, or lack of ventilation) will show more condensation on cooler surfaces. New, more efficient windows reduce cold surface areas and help, but ventilation solutions may also be needed.
- Worn frames and hardware: Wood rot, corroded hardware, or warped vinyl frames can create gaps, allowing drafts and water entry.
- Outdated single-pane windows: Older windows simply don’t perform like modern insulated units. They lose heat, cause cold surfaces, and are prone to condensation.
Why Fixing Them Before Winter Matters
- Lower heating bills: Leaky windows and failed IGUs let warm air escape. Replacing inefficient or damaged windows improves insulation and reduces energy use.
- Prevent structural damage: Water infiltration leads to rot, mold, and damaged siding or drywall — all expensive to repair. Address leaks now to avoid larger winter-time repairs.
- Improve comfort: New windows eliminate drafts and cold spots, making your home more comfortable on chilly Denver nights.
- Healthier indoor air: Controlling condensation and preventing mold growth protects your family’s health.
- Higher home value & curb appeal: Updated windows offer immediate aesthetic and resale benefits.
