Condensation
|
||||
|

Double glazing is designed to provide insulation and help reduce costs for energy, but condensation can cause problems. If you notice visible condensation, your airtight seal isn't working. A professional should come to inspect the area. It could be as easy as changing the seal or replacing the glazing, or even installing a brand new window.
|
||||
|
||||
Visible condensation is the most typical issue with double-glazed windows. It's typically caused by humidity or moisture in the air. Droplets of water form on cold surfaces and when the window is closed, they may build up and leave a white fog or frost. This isn't an issue, but it does mean the glass and frame must be cleaned regularly to remove dirt and residues that can lead to mould growth or wood decay.

||||
|
||||
The best option is to increase ventilation in the home. When cooking or showering make sure that the extractor fan is running. Also, open a window to dry your laundry. You can also reduce humidity levels by making sure the window is appropriately sized (not too large or too small). The distance between window panes should not exceed 12 millimeters to increase efficiency and reduce air infiltration.

||||
|
||||
If your windows are misting up they might require replacement completely. Double glazing can be repaired using repair kits, but it only fixes the seal.

Misunderstood

|
||||
|
||||
Every double-glazed window has a seal that holds the two panes together. This seal prevents water from getting between the windows, but in the event that it's damaged or worn down, moisture may get in and cause fogging. This can happen due to poor installation drainage issues, poor installation or even faulty seals supplied by the manufacturer.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a common problem that affects many double-glazed windows. It occurs when the temperature drops dramatically at the night in your home, causing condensation on the cold window surface. The good news is that it is a natural phenomenon and is easily removed by using a condensation removal kit.

Misted double glazed windows are not only unsightly to behold, but they also compromise the thermal insulation and soundproofing of your home. If you discover this issue, you should contact a specialist in repair of double-glazed windows.
|
||||
|
||||
To fix a misted glass, it is first necessary to remove the frame from the unit. After the window has been disassembled it is possible to remove the glass panes individually. You can then clean and dry the individual panes of the window, before reassembling it.
|
||||
|
||||
In the majority of cases, repairing or replacing a damaged window is the most effective solution. Replacing the sealant on a double-glazed window is not permanent and could cause further damage. Replacing the window is more time- and cost-efficient.
|
||||
|
||||
Installing a professional new double-glazed window is a great method to avoid future problems. Finding a reputable contractor to install your windows as well as perform regular maintenance is essential. In addition, it is recommended to select windows with an A rating to maximize the efficiency of your energy use.
|
||||
|
||||
Foggy
|
||||
|
||||
Foggy windows can be a sign of a bigger problem with the seal. Double-pane windows are made with an airtight seal between two panes glass to keep the temperature steady and act as a good insulation. As time passes, the seal could fail or break opening up condensation and water into the window. This can lead to a sticky buildup, or worse, moisture can seep between the glasses and cause damage.
|
||||
|
||||
A common solution to this issue is to put an air dehumidifier near the window, which will assist in removing some of the moisture. However, this is not likely to resolve the root issue, which is the lack of an airtight seal.
|
||||
|
||||
Another solution is to utilize a drain pipe or hanger wrapped with pantyhose, and then drill a small opening in the window. However, this won't stop the moisture from returning in the future, and it will still be a struggle to wipe down the glass due to the gaps between the panes.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can also attempt to improve air circulation in the room in which the window is situated and this can help lower humidity levels. You can also utilize the extractor fan while you are cooking or showering, and then open the window to dry your clothes.
|
||||
|
||||
The best approach to stop fogging is to call a professional double glazing company for repair or replacement. This involves taking the window off and replacing the seal between the two panes of glass and can take up to several days, and isn't an inexpensive process.
|
||||
|
||||
In the past the only options to address fogging issues in insulated glass windows was to either live with it or replace the entire window unit. However, a few companies now offer a service that can restore and even repair a fogged double-glazed window. This can be cheaper than full-window replacement.
