Questions homeowners ask
Why do double-pane windows fog up between the panes?
The perimeter seal around the two glass sheets degrades from thermal expansion and UV exposure. Moist air enters the gap and condenses on the cold glass, leaving mineral deposits.
Can fogged glass be defogged with chemicals?
Drilling small holes and pumping in chemicals is an ineffective temporary band-aid. The only permanent solution is replacing the sealed IGU glass unit with fresh, clear glass.
