What’s the difference between a bay window and a bow window?
Both will do much to open up a room and let it breathe, giving the appearance of more space and letting in more light while adding a splash of glamour to any room. A bay window always has three windows – two smaller frames on either side of a large picture window. A bow window, on the other hand, can have four or more windows and all the same size.
Why are my windows foggy?
Does your window look like it needs to be cleaned in-between the two panes of glass? If you’re finding fog inside the window, it’s most likely due to a bad or broken seal. The gas/air in-between the panes of glass gets heated and cooled thought-out the day by changes in weather and HVAC systems. This naturally expands and contracts the seals, allowing some air to enter and some to leave. The goal is to only let the minimum requirement of air be transferred from the seal so no moisture enters the window.
Once the window’s seal had been broken to a point where air enters the window will eventually take on moisture from the natural atmospheric pressure. The fog will slowly appear and only will only get worse.

Why are my windows so hard to open?
Wood windows are difficult to operate because wood expands in the heat. When you attempt to open the window in the summer, it becomes stuck because the wood has swelled, making a smooth opening and closing hard. With vinyl windows, this same operational difficulty can occur. Vinyl windows have a spiral bound mechanism inside which can dry out, making it tough to move the window up and down.

Our proprietary compound resists the harsh effects of weather and ultraviolet light much better than other available materials.
How does air escape through a window?
