This damage can reduce the insulating properties of your windows and create a range of problems. Condensation occurs when warm air comes in contact with cold surfaces and then cools to its dew point. If this process isn't controlled your windows will turn hazy. Reduce Indoor Humidity If your double glazed windows are leaking it's because there's excessive humidity or water in the air. The water will condense when it comes into contact with a cold surface, such as the glass in your window. If you want to prevent misting, lower indoor humidity by keeping the room well ventilated and installing extractor fans in rooms which tend to be humid, such as bathrooms and kitchens. This will prevent condensation on your windows, by keeping the humidity at a minimum in these areas. Another way to keep your double-glazed windows free of mist is to ensure there is always a large gap between the panes. If the gaps are too close, then moisture will be able to get in and the seal will crack which can result in windows becoming misty. It is also an ideal idea to leave the windows as wide as you can during the day, especially in the summer. This will keep your home cool and fresh, and also stop warm air from getting through the gap. Also ensure that your curtains and blinds away from windows. If you hang your curtains against the glass, condensation can build up. This will also cause misting in humid air. Another major aspect in the window's ability to withstand condensation is its insulation properties. A double glazed window is constructed from two separate glass panes, which are joined by the spacer bar between the glass. The spacer bar is constructed of dessicant which is designed to absorb and hold water vapour from the air. When the win
