Foggy glass is a common issue with Insulated Glass Units (IGUs) that occurs when the seals around the edges of the glass unit deteriorate, allowing the escape of inert gas and the infiltration of outside air. When this happens, moisture from the surrounding air can condense between the glass panes under specific conditions, such as when the outer glass is colder than the warm air inside the panel.
This condensation manifests as the hazy fogginess familiar to many. The appearance of fog may vary with weather conditions; during warmer months, the moisture may not be visible due to the consistent warmth of the glass, while cooler temperatures can prompt visible condensation.
The presence of intermittent fogging in windows indicates a compromised seal in the insulated window. Our team at Fenton specializes in diagnosing and resolving such issues, ensuring optimal performance and clarity for your windows.
All Insulated Glass Units (IGUs) gradually lose the inert gas between panes, and their seals have a limited lifespan that deteriorates over time. Various factors like temperature changes, wind, sunlight, and moisture contribute to this. Typically, IGUs lose about 1 percent of their gas annually.
Windows exposed to harsh weather and sunlight tend to deteriorate faster than those with less exposure. It’s common for IGU windows to lose effectiveness and develop foggy glass after 15 or 20 years. If this happens within the warranty period, contacting the manufacturer for replacement is advisable.
Replacing the IGU is usually more cost-effective than replacing the entire window. However, finding a company that offers IGU replacement alone can be challenging, as most focus on full window replacements for profitability.
