Energy Savings

In just a few short years, Window Revision has become a leader of a newly developing industry committed to getting the most performance from existing windows through the application of high-technology. Window Revision is gaining the attention of the “green” movement for their energy conserving products while disturbing the conventional glass industry mindset of replacing failed glass.

It quickly became obvious that the superlative 3M Window Film technology fit hand-in-glove with the “Foggy Window Repair!” window technology of Window Revision. “3M is utilizing nanotechnology in film design to create incredible improvements for a window to reject unwanted heat in a building,” says Giedt. “When combined with the Foggy Window Repair process our customers will both save their money in heating and cooling costs, as well as save the environment.”
Exactly how is energy saved with 3M Window Film and “Foggy Window Repair“? Giedt explains, 3M Window Film will reject heat and UV light that fade and damage valuables. This will directly correlate to more even building temperature and lower cooling bills. Window Revision “Foggy Window Repair” will rid the insulating glass of moisture or moisture vapor that eliminates the insulating ability of the window. Additionally, the appliance will extend the life of the glass for many more years. This means that first off, any investments our customer already have in that glass will be retained. Secondly and more significant for our environment is the fact that the insulating glass is not being thrown out. The captured energy costs of making that glass, along with the additional energy that would be used to make the glass to replace it are not being wasted.”

Window Revision was the first US company to offer the “Foggy Window Repair” system and is now a 3M Prestige Window Film dealer. The are rapidly expanding their crew of window technicians and are now taking orders for 3M Window Films.

Windows Get Foggy

Eventually most every thermal pane window will fail and fog up. By their very design, thermal pane windows are made with eventual failure in mind.

The panes of glass in your thermal pane window are separated by and sealed to a spacer bar, creating a closed container of air. During the day, sunlight will shine on the window and begin to heat the air between the panes of glass. You are very familiar with the “green house effect”, like when you open a parked car that has been sitting in the sun. Solar energy enters through the glass and super heats the car’s interior. This also occurs between the glass of your thermal pane windows. Temperature inside can easily reach 170 degrees, and at that temperature failure is eight times more likely to occur. Free Quote

During the day the sun is heating the air between your panes of glass, expanding the air and building up pressure. The pressure will literally push the panes of glass outward. Then in the evening, as your window cools down, the air now contracts and returns to a balanced or even a contracted state. Day after day, year after year, this cycle of expansion, contraction, expansion, contraction occurs. We call this action “solar pumping”. The window literally acts like a pump, stressing the integrity of the seals and drawing air through the side. With that inflow of air comes moisture. Free Quote

Window makers know and expect this solar pumping to occur. They actually pre-plan for it. Thermal pane windows are built with a form of moisture control inside the spacer bar. Most spacer bars have a desiccant, or moisture absorbing material inside the spacer bar. You are familiar with the most common desiccant called Silica. It is what’s inside those little white pouches you find when you get a new pair of shoes or maybe a small electronic product. You know, the one labeled “Do Not Eat. Contains Silica Gel”. That’s the stuff inside your window’s spacer bar. They expect your window to fail and moisture to get inside and they prepare for it by having silica there to absorb that moisture! By the time you see fog in your window that silica is fully saturated and cannot hold anymore moisture. There may be years of accumulated moisture that has nowhere to go, so it just circulates between the glass and begins to cause permanent glass damage if not repaired quickly. Free Quote

Our  Process gets the moisture out of the thermal window panes and keeps it out!

A window cleaner (US slang; window washer) is a person who maintains the cleanliness of windows, mirrors and other glass surfaces.

There are many different type of window cleaners out in the market place but how to you know who is the right window cleaner for you. Below is a few different types that might help determine the best window cleaner.

Residential Window Cleaner:

Residential window cleaner is a professional window cleaner that works at your home or place of residence. This type of window cleaner  is accustom to working with french pane glass, double hung windows, casement windows, sliding doors, french pane windows, tempered glass, etc. Residential window cleaning is often done by cleaning the windows from outside the home. Even if you live in a multi story home, residential window cleaners can use a few different window cleaning tools such as window cleaning pole, window cleaning ladders and of course the window cleaning solution, all to help make the window cleaning service faster and to make your windows shine. Residential window cleaners or window washers, are usually prepared to work inside the home if you want the interior window cleaning done too.

Commercial Storefront Window Cleaner:

Commercial Window Cleaner is a professional window cleaner that works on storefront glass or commercial store buildings. This type of window cleaner is usually very fast at window cleaning. A commercial window cleaning only looks good if the window cleaner uses the proper window cleaning tools. If you notice a commercial window cleaner using a window cleaning pole, large window cleaning squeegee, and a T-bar to apply the window cleaning soap, you will find a good window cleaner. A commercial window cleaner is used to cleaning annealed glass, tempered glass, window tint, window film, and will be in and out in no time at all. A good window cleaning service can always work around your schedule by setting up an account for you. Several commercial window cleaning accounts will have their windows cleaned on a monthly basis and the nice thing is; if you just want the outsides cleaned, you don’t even have to be there.

Mid- Rise Window Cleaner:

Mid-Rise Window Cleaner is a professional window cleaner that works on commercial buildings that are 2nd story or 3rd story buildings. Some of the accounts that a Mid-Rise Window Cleaner will have are: office buildings, hotels, schools, banks, and federal buildings. This type of window cleaner is especially skilled to use a “Window Cleaning Water Fed Pole System”, a Water Fed Pole System is used on most of the windows on a particular building. The window cleaner will use Deionized Water so that no minerals will dry to the glass surface. By attaching a Deionized water filter with  hose to a long pole with a brush on the end, the window cleaner can access the 2nd and 3rd story windows by standing on the ground. By using this, the window cleaner can be more efficient with his or her time and usually finish the exterior window cleaning in a shorter amount of time than those that will set up ladders. Now, the Water Fed Pole System is not the only way to access the 2nd and 3rd story windows, but of course it is easier.

High-Rise Window Cleaner:

High-Rise Window Cleaner is a professional window cleaner that works on High Rise buildings (over 4 stories tall). This type of window cleaner uses a few extra window cleaning tools and requires  a different skill set and will go through High-Rise Window Cleaning Training to accomplish the window cleaning jobs. A high-rise window cleaner will use window cleaning equipment such as MIO Rigs, Parapet Roller, Tie-backs, Window Suction Cups, Sit Boards, Ropes and Harnesses. The High-Rise Window Cleaner needs all of this window cleaning equipment because they attach it to the roof top of the high rise building and rappel over the side of the building in order to clean the exterior glass.
