Repair the seal + +Double glazing is an investment that will pay dividends in the long run. It reduces noise and increases energy efficiency. These windows aren't impervious to damage and require regular maintenance in order to function exactly as they should.

Replace the Frame + +Many people believe they need to replace their double-glazed windows if they start to get cloudy or misty. In reality, this is an easy fix that only requires replacing the insulated unit. Double glazing is composed of two glass panes with a spacer bar in between and gas or air in between (for improved thermal efficiency). This creates an insulation barrier that keeps warm air inside your home and cold outside. As time passes, the seals between glass may get worn down and allow moisture to get in. This causes the misting. + +It is essential to keep your double glazed windows in good condition to prevent misting, especially in the case of windows that are still under warranty.
