So? What if argon gas leaks out of your double pane window? What’s the problem?
Filed Under Sun Rooms
Jack asked:
I installed vinly, argon gas filled, LowE, et al windows in a sunroom I built 3 years ago: some 3′x5′ pictures, a large pentagon, etc. Lately, 2 of’em are showing significant smudging, in fixed patterns inside, between the panes. The discoloration comes and goes, showing up when they get direct sun. May be caused by the coating, tenting, or gas leakage? I dunno.

your window will fog up on the inside and there is no way to get at it . there are companies that will replace the argon and seal the leak its cheeper than replacing the window

If the gas has leaked out, it is a bad seal. You will need to have it professionally repaired.

Your window seals are faulty. Many window manufacturers offer long warranties, before looking at repair options contact the contractor who built the sunroom and the window manufacturer.
