Once water bypasses the original putty holding the glass to the sash (putty glazing), local freeze-thaw cycles expand the trapped liquid, rotting the sills.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Foggy glass between the panes (the seal on the double-pane window has failed — common on windows installed in the late 1980s to mid 1990s) is a major issue in newer developments around Dublin. When this occurs, the insulating gas inside leaks out, leaving your home unprotected against Central Ohio's severe seasonal temperature swings.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Drafty single-pane units on mid-century properties in areas like Clintonville are highly vulnerable to Ohio's freezing winters.
