There are many reasons for repairing a double (thermal or insulated glass) pane window. You may want to increase the resale value of your home or simply be able to enjoy a better view. In any case, we can make your window look like new for a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire window. When moisture gets in between the two panes of glass without being able to properly escape, it causes the window to become foggy or to look cloudy. We specialize in moisture removal of insulated glass units that are foggy or cloudy, so call us today about your foggy windows.

Wet or foggy windows are not just ugly, condensation reduces the window's ability to insulate you from outside temperatures, defeating the purpose of having dual pane (insulated) windows! In time, EVERY dual pane (also known as thermal pane, double pane and insulated glass) window will fail. There are many reasons why window seals fail such as improper installation or poor caulking, but the main cause of failure is a process called "solar pumping". This causes the unit to expand and push air out through the semi-permeable seals. As the unit cools at night, it contracts and draws in air (and humidity) through the seals. Over time, this constant contraction and expansion further weakens the seals which allows even more moisture inside. Many window manufacturers plan for solar pumping by adding silica desiccant in the spacer bar between the panes of glass to absorb moisture and prolong the life of the glass unit. Silica desiccant is the product inside the little white packages you find packed with electronics, clothing, etc to keep them dry. When the desiccant has absorbed all the moisture it can, a misty fog begins to develop between the panes of glass.
