Question: Why Are My Windows Always Foggy or Showing Condensation Inside?
Answer: You’re Likely Dealing with Window Seal Failure
If you’re noticing fog or condensation between the panes of your window glass, there’s a good chance you have a seal failure. This issue isn’t just unsightly or frustrating—it also means your window is no longer functioning properly and is costing you money.
In other words, you’re literally throwing money out the window.
🪟 Back to Windows 101: Why Do We Have Double or Triple Panes?
Double- and triple-pane windows are designed with argon or krypton gas sealed between the glass panes. These gases act as thermal insulators, helping to keep heat inside during the winter and outside during the summer.
However, when the window seal breaks, the gas escapes. As a result, your window loses its insulation value, and condensation or fog begins to form between the panes.
🔎 What Does That Fog Really Mean?
If you see persistent fog or cloudiness inside the window, even after cleaning the surface, your seal has likely failed. This means the gas is gone, and your window is now just a single pane of glass between you and the outdoors.
Consider this: remember those 12°F days we had last week? If you have fogged windows, your heat is escaping through that compromised glass, and your energy bills are rising because of it.
