Question: Why are my windows always foggy or have condensation inside them?
Answer: You’ve got window seal failures! It’s possible you’ve never heard of this, but if you’re seeing fog or condensation between your window’s glass panes, it’s typically a sign of window seal failure. What you need to know is that fogged glass is not only unsightly and annoying as you can’t see clearly out the window, but it means that your window is not working properly anymore and is costing you money. In fact you’re literally throwing money out the window.
Back to Windows 101– the reason why you have dual or triple panes of glass is that you should have gas in between them. It’s this gas, commonly called Argon Gas or if you want the most efficient windows Krypton Gas, that makes your windows work efficiently. The functionality of the gas is to allow heat to stay inside and the cold outside. The gas acts as a thermal barrier, like insulation.
When you see this window fog that won’t go away it means the seal has been broken and the gas is no longer doing it’s job. So this pretty much means you just have a glass pane protecting you against the outside elements. You know those 12 degree days we had last week with the cold snap? Well those fogged windows are costing you money as the heat is literally going out the
glass and out of your pocket.
