Fogged / Misted Window Replacement
What are fogged / misted double glazed units?
Misted double glazed units refer to windows or glass panels in which condensation or fog develops between the two panes of glass. Double glazing consists of two separate panes of glass with a sealed space between them, which in the last 10 years is often filled with insulating gas to improve energy efficiency. Misted double glazed units are a common issue, especially in older windows or those with poor installation. When a double glazed unit becomes misted, it indicates that the seal between the panes has failed. The failure allows moisture to penetrate the space between the glass, leading to the formation of condensation or fog. This compromises the clarity of the window, reduces its insulating properties and can create damp, mouldy conditions when left unchecked. The misting not only affects the aesthetic appeal of the window but also indicates a decrease in the overall efficiency of the double glazing. Replacing the misted units is necessary to restore both the visual clarity and the insulating properties of the window.

Better energy efficiency
Faulty double glazing significantly impacts window performance, leading to increased heating costs. Warm air escapes through the windows, allowing cold air to enter, resulting in heat loss from your home and a noticeable rise in heating bills. Addressing and repairing these issues promptly is essential to maintain energy efficiency and control expenses.
Perfect visibility
Dealing with misted double glazing is frustrating, especially because the moisture is trapped between the glass panes, making it impossible to wipe away. If left unaddressed, this issue continues to get worse over time, resulting in a complete blockage of the window and severely impaired visibility. As such, replacing the effected unit at the first sign of misting is your best course of action.
Better air quality & health
While condensation in windows is generally considered harmless, neglecting replacement can lead to the development of dampness and mold, resulting in unpleasant odors and can aggravate health conditions like asthma and bronchitis. Taking proactive measures to prevent its escalation is crucial to avoid potential damage to your home and, more importantly, safeguard your health.
