Demisting Condensation On Glass Windows

Fixing double glazing windows that are misted, cloudy or steamed up on the inner panes.

Misty, steamy, cloudy or foggy glass caused by condensation inside the double glazing unit means that you are losing up to 20% heat from your home!

Double glazing units have a hermetic seal to keep in usually an inert gas like argon or krypton, serving as a thermal break to regulate between outside and inside temperature. The gas serves a purpose to make your home or property energy efficient and for landlords, it will surpass the minimum energy performance rating on an EPC. A failure in the seal can cause the window to lose its insulating properties and allow moisture to enter the space between the panes to form condensation.

Removal Process

    Get In Touch

    The first thing that we need to do is a property survey to establish if your window or door can be repaired. We do offer a moisture removal service from double glazing provided that it meets certain criteria which we will check for. Most of the times, we simply replace the affected glass, usually with the common 20mm, 24mm or 28mm thickness. It is regarded as better value for money since you get a new unit sealed from the factory and a 5-10 year guarantee.

    Select Glass Fix Option

    Our glaziers will offer bespoke options for your condensation in glass unit. Choosing the condensation glass repair option is often cheaper and better short term fix for failed hermetic seals. You are left with a fairly small hole covered in the corner.

    The other choice is glass replacement and surprisingly, often does not cost that much more, particularly if you have the standard 20mm, 24mm or the 28mm double glazing thickness. That is why it is the popular service that we provide for clear windows. The quotes for the service and parts are valid for 30 days. Our uPVC window and doors adviser will contact you to arrange a date to carry out the service.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • Can you remove the fog from my toughened glass unit?

    Once you start trying to repair toughened glass that is steamed up or appear cloudy, it is very likely that it will shatter. As the risks are high in causing more damage, we do not extend our misty window repair service to toughened glass units. Check if your glass is toughened by looking for a stamp in the corner of the pane. If it is, then your only option may be glass replacement.

  • Is defogging my foggy window a better option?

    Repairing your foggy window glass is most of the time cheaper than a replacement. However, we recommend installing a new glass unit for a little more money. You will get a more modern energy efficient version with the latest technological advanced revisions. It could save you more money in the long run with lower energy bills.

  • Can you fix my misty double glazing glass in the conservatory?

    Yes we can fix misty, cloudy or steamy glass, that should really be clear, in wooden and uPVC profiles, whether in conservatories, orangeries, porches or doors.

  • How do I clear water from my single glaze window?

    Condensation on clear single glazed glass does not mean that the pane needs replacing or repairing. It could be the result of many other things. However, do try ventilating the room to help draw moisture out of the affected area or use a dehumidifier. Opening the windows for 5-10 minutes often works or you could apply a special clear film that acts as double glazing. Or, our recommendation is to install new uPVC double glazing windows which can regulate the inside and outside temperature effectively to reduce condensation.

    If none of these works, it might be worthwhile calling in a building specialist as the property might have a problem. This could range from a need of a damp proof course, damage to drainage systems, wall cavity blockages to damaged roof and tiles.
