What Causes Glass Windows to Crack?
You may have recently noticed that you have a crack in the window.
What was once a small, unnoticeable crack at the edge of your window has now made its way up to the middle. And now, you regret letting that little crack go unnoticed because you have to replace your windows.
Cracks in glass windows are fairly normal, and there are many reasons why they occur. Here are a few.
Stress Cracks
Thermal stress cracks, also known as stress cracks, are cracks that occur in glass windows due to an increase in temperature. When faced with higher temperatures, different parts of glass windows expand at different rates. Stress cracks are a result of uneven expansion due to pressure.
Typically starting near the edge of the window and spreading out over the glass, stress cracks can occur due to the temperature inside and outside your home.
How to Fix Broken Windows
To repair gaps and cracks in your windows, you can use a caulking gun to fill the spaces or cover the crack with duct tape. However, these are just temporary measures.
