Condensation in double glazing - what are the solutions?

Anonymous user 22 February 2024 - 2.30 PM

Just moved in to a house which has a number of windows with condensation between the glass panels. Can they be cleaned or do they require replacing? Thanks.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

If you have condensation between the glass (double glazing), it means your units have broken down, best to get a window fitter out to measure up for new units, he will need to remove a couple of beads to also measure thickness of glass. Although some window firms have a device for this.

hi ,if there is condensation in double glazing the seals on your units have gone or there is a small crack in the glass, either way you would probably be better off (and cheaper) replacing them.

Hi, It does sound like the seals have gone on the units which means they will need replacing Most companies do give a 5 year guarantee when they supply new double glazed units, I would check this. This covers when there is condensation in double glazing. You can still get condensation on the units where they can still be ok this usually happens when clothes are being dried in a room when it is cold and wet outside. You can get information from Pilkington K glass site just put in condensation and it will give you good information. NPS Property Services

Hi The only solution is to replace the glass units. Many suppliers offer long guarantees on their windows so if you could find out when & who they were supplied by they may still be under guarantee.

there are some companies out there that come out and clean the insides of the units and reseal but i find this more expensive than straight forward replacements. hope this helps.
