For now, let’s talk about how to check to see if your windows are leaking. ![]() Those are a much simpler fix but we’ll cover that in a moment. However, some leaks aren’t from the panes at all, some are from the actual window casement-the frame the window sits in. At that point, you would need a replacement, as replacing the panes is not a feasible option, you’d just replace the whole window. If there’s condensation between the panes-the window is compromised and yes, it’s likely the gas has escaped. However, a quick visual and physical inspection will tell you if your windows are leaking. ![]() As Jonathan mentioned it’s impossible to tell if there is argon gas still present between the panes. When it comes to air and water leaks in the home, windows are the source of the leak about 75% of the time.

A: You won’t be able to tell if there is no longer any argon in the glass.
