As the cold and frosty air and the central heating system continue to steam on our windows, it is difficult to overcome condensation in winter. It is easy to solve the moisture accumulated on the double glass on the outer glass, but it seems almost impossible to solve when the water is trapped in the inner layer. Finding out the cause of condensation on insulated windows will help you solve the problem-but what does it mean and how?

Double glazing uses two pieces of glass to separate a layer of argon to keep the home warm.

The argon layer improves the energy efficiency of the property by absorbing heat.

In order to function as a double glazing system, most modern windows have two seals-the inner seal prevents moisture and corrosion, and the outer seal protects the strength of the window.

If you notice that moisture has accumulated in the core layer of the window, the suction pipe located between the seals may not work properly because one of the seals is broken.

When the seal on the hollow glass unit fails, it is likely to be caused by the following reasons:

Older windows are also prone to seal breakage, but this is unlikely to be the cause unless your windows have been in use for more than 20 years.

A broken seal can cause moisture to form between two thick glass panes, which can make your windows look milky and foggy.

There are many simple repair methods to solve the problem of internal condensation on windows, but the ultimate solution is to balance the humidity and ventilation in the home.

If you notice condensation on the windows in the morning, use a hair dryer to evaporate the moisture between the glass plates.

Heating the window (from a safe distance) will quickly help clear stagnant water droplets trapped between the double glazing.

Use the blower at low temperatures and keep it away from the seal to avoid melting these critical components.

Ventilation is an important part of solving domestic condensation problems.

When moisture cannot escape, it will form water droplets on cold surfaces such as glass windows and mirrors, and then these water droplets will be trapped.

Open the windows every morning at sunrise. If you are going out, be sure to open the trickle vents.

Another quick solution to internal condensation is to use a dehumidifier in the affected room.

This will prevent excessive moisture from turning into water droplets that cause condensation.

Although there are many quick solutions to the condensation between glass plates, long-term solutions may be in the hands of professionals.

If your windows are relatively new, please contact the double glazing expert who installed the windows for you, or find another local expert.

Professionals have two ways to solve these problems in the long-term, including:

It is usually best to replace the entire unit to prevent further problems from causing mold and moisture around your home.
