As experts in double-glazing repairs, we are often asked about condensation in double glazing. To understand condensation in double glazing, it’s first important to know how double glazing is made. Double glazing is effectively two panes of glass sat together with a thermally efficient space in between. The air that gets trapped inside the air vacuum creates an insulating barrier that keeps heat in and the cold out. The glass is then sealed together using a hot melt adhesive. This forms a double-glazed unit.
Condensation in double glazing occurs when the seal breaks down, or as experts like us describe it, fails. Moisture gets through into the glass unit and results in the condensation in double glazing. When this happens, your double glazing is no longer a “sealed unit”, so it will not be performing the function of a sealed double-glazed unit. Therefore, the thermal effects of the air vacuum will no longer be functioning.
The are several reasons why seals on double-glazed windows break. The age and condition of the window frame can cause this, or it can be a problem with the manufacturing of the unit. It could also be due to how the window was originally installed or a chemical cleaning material used on the window that over time has damaged the seal. At SGC Glass, we have 30 years’ experience in emergency glazing in London, Essex and the surrounding areas. Over the years, we have dealt with all kinds of situations, and our emergency glazing teams are trained and equipped to deal with it all.
Condensation in double glazing also means the broken seals are leaking expensive energy out from your home into the environment, making your heating system work harder than it needs to. With current inflation in energy bills, it’s never been more important to maintain your windows for better energy efficiency in the home. During the Winter months especially, we understand how vital it is to replace sealed units which are causing condensation in double glazing.
Repairing faulty seals can be a challenging job to do yourself. The main issue with fixing it yourself is that not every window has the same type of seal. Some manufacturers produce beading and seals that are separate units while others are one-piece units that are difficult to remove. Our window and door repair team are trained to the highest standards to assist in easing and adjusting troublesome windows and doors in London, Essex and the surrounding areas. If you have double glazed windows that are misted due to condensation between the panes of glass, we can simply replace the glass without needing to change the entire frame – a quick and cost-effective solution.

Choosing replacement windows brings a host of benefits – from enhanced insulation that regulates indoor temperatures to an improved aesthetic appeal that improves the look of your property. Modern replacement windows can even incorporate advanced features like UV protection and noise reduction, ensuring a more pleasant and energy-efficient living space, bringing value to your home.
If you've noticed persistent draughts, it's a clear signal that replacement might be necessary. Condensation between panes, difficulty in smoothly opening or closing windows, or visible damage like cracks and rot are additional signs that the integrity of your windows may be compromised. Also, if your energy bills have seen an unexpected spike, it could be attributed to inefficient windows that are letting precious heating or cooling escape.
The duration of window replacement depends on factors such as the number of windows, their size, and the chosen materials. Generally, a standard window replacement may take a few days. This includes the removal of old windows, preparation of openings, installation of new windows, and any necessary finishing touches.
Our replacement windows are designed with ease of maintenance in mind. After your installation, maintenance and aftercare brochures are sent to help you keep your newly installed products working and looking their best for the future.
The frequency of window replacement depends on several factors, including the type of windows, their materials, and local environmental conditions. Generally, well-maintained windows can last 15 to 20 years. However, signs such as draughts, condensation between panes, difficulty in operation, or visible damage may indicate the need for replacement sooner.
