Window Stains

10 years ago

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone on this board knew what this was on my rear windows. One of my neighbors said it might be a bad tint on my windows. Any suggestions on how to remove these stains would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

looks like a failed seal or improperly assembled IGU. That wont clean off.

Bad low-e or failed seal.

This cannot be cleaned and will require replacement.

Unfortunately, that kind of stain will be impossible to clean off. YouÃ¢ÂÂll have to replace it. You can protect the glass on your windows by frosting them. If you donÃ¢ÂÂt want to go all the way with window frosting, you can have them partially frosted. You wonÃ¢ÂÂt need to use blinds anymore.
