Misted Double Glazing

If a double glazed sealed unit has gone misty it’s likely that a fault, like a small puncture, has developed in the perimeter, and moisture is getting inside and between the two panes of glass.

As temperatures change moisture will turn into liquid, which cannot escape. The most common cause of sealed unit failure is due to the unit not being sealed correctly during manufacture. If a unit is not fully sealed all the way round, the unit is likely to fail within a relatively short time scale, and this will be normally within a year or so.
