This lets moisture seep into the window, and then condense on the cold glass, decreasing its efficiency. This issue is easily preventable by ensuring adequate ventilation in moist rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens, using extractor fans and opening windows frequently to promote airflow. Dehumidifiers can help minimise moisture build-up. Seals Usually, when double glazing becomes blurred, there is something wrong with the window seals. It could be a problem with the glass unit, or the windows themselves might be older and more prone to issues. In either case, it is important to have the windows checked for any issues as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the insulation properties of the double glazing. The space between the two panes of glass is filled with Argon or a similar inert gas to improve efficiency of energy. This arrangement creates an insulation barrier that keeps warm air in and cold air out and is one of the main reasons why double-glazed windows are more efficient than single-glazing. However, over time this seal may break down and, when it is, moisture will begin to leak in and cause a foggy appearance. In certain cases it is possible to fix the issue with a defogging tool that is available online or in hardware stores. The kit involves drilling an insignificant hole, injecting desiccant to absorb moisture and then sealing the hole. However defogging kits are only just a temporary solution and will need to be repeated since the inert gasses do not replace the original ones that were lost when the seal broke down. A gasket seal is replaced on the frame of the window. It is a relatively easy and affordable way to increase the insulation qualities of your windows. For the best results, it is crucial to use top quality gasket seals. This is a crucial element of any doubl
