Why Is My Double Glazing Misty Between the Panes?
Mist you cannot wipe away means the seal in your double glazing has failed. Here is why it happens, what it means and how it is fixed without a new window.

Keep the frame, change the glass
You probably do not need new windows.
When a window mists up or cracks, it is usually the glass unit that has failed and not the frame. Replacing only the glass costs far less, and because we make the units ourselves, there is no middleman on the price.
How misted glass is replaced
What we fix
All glass fitting servicesMisted windows
Fog or droplets between the panes mean the seal has failed. We replace the glass and leave the frame alone.
Broken glass
Cracked, chipped or smashed panes replaced with new units made to fit. Boarding up available when a window cannot wait.
Door glass
Front, back, French and patio doors. Safety glass units made to size for the door you already have.
Conservatory glass
Misted or broken panes replaced individually, so you can keep the conservatory you already have.
Why windows mist up
If you cannot wipe it off, the seal has gone.
Two panes of glass
Made to the exact size of your window or door.
Sealed cavity
Dry air or gas between the panes is what holds the heat in.
Spacer bar
Holds the panes apart and absorbs a little moisture.
Edge seal
The part that fails. Once it goes, damp air gets in and you see mist you cannot wipe away.
Any frame, in windows or doors
uPVC
The frames last well, so there is rarely a reason to replace them when only the sealed unit has failed.
Timber
Period and character frames are worth keeping. We reglaze them with care for the wood.
Aluminium
Patio doors, extensions and commercial premises, keeping the slim lines of the frame.
