I recently changed all the 2nd floor windows from double pane to triple pane with argon gas filling. The main and only reason is to block as much noise as it can from the highway 401. I choose Consumer's choice as they have very good reviews on homestars and also was recommend by my friend. Anyway, I'm desperate to find out the reason why it'is not working at all !? All the outer walls of my house are made by bricks and I don't hear any significant noise from when I stand behind the walls but next to the windows. I'm quite sure that the major noises is from the window. I'm very disappointed and desperate for a quiet night... What wrong with my choice and what else I can do now??

I have a 4 panel, double-paned bay window in my living room. It has rotting wood trim around the glass panes in the middle two sections of the bay window. The bottom of the bay has discolored wood. I used my laser thermometer this past winter, and when it was approximately 10*F outside, the window trim read at 35*F, with the home at approx 70*F. I know the cold window is causing condensation to form and rot the wood... I'd like to ask, is this too far gone, or can I save the window? How do I insulate it so it does not condensate like this anymore? How do I repair the damage done to the wood? If I have to replace wood pieces, should I be able to find those in the wood trim dept at a home depot? I'd really rather not replace this window, if it can be helped... $$$ repairs sure beats a new $$$$ window! [ATTACH]14334[/ATTACH]
