Does anyone know how to unfog a double pane window? One pane of a 4 pane picture window is all fogged up between the thermal windows. It looks awful! Help!

Your windows likely can be restored in place without removing them (or having to replace them). There is a company with operations in Canada, the United States, and Great Britain.

When it has fog between the glass, it well get worst. You are losing your insulation value when this happens. Most units today come with a 10 yr. warranty. Check with your builder or glass company where you bought the unit from for warranty info.

Dear Amy,
you have lost vacuum seal and humid air has been sucked between rhe two pieces of glass. The seal is still good enough that the humdity can not even out with changes in humidity. The water condensates on to the glass fogging it up. If the glass isn't tempered (safety glass) I would try and drill a small hole through inside pane with a glass bit and put grains of white rice between the panes. The rice will absorb the moisture and dry the glass, like rice in a salt shaker. When it drys out you can clear silicon the hole shut. I have made sky lights with a small cloth bag of rice in it and they didn't fog. If you can get to the aluminum spacer seal on the edge you could drill through that instead and add rice. The worst case is the glass will break and you will need a new pane, if it works it will be as thermal efficent as a storm window, good luck

This happened to me. The first time I was under warranty (10 years) and the company replaced it. This time I'm not, and I will have to pay for a replacement. The seal has broken.

Use your blow dryer for your hair point it at the window and it should clear it right up

Fogging in a double pane window usually means there is a leak in the seal and moisture has gotten in between the two panes of glass. The glass pane has to be replaced.

If this is insulated glass, the seal has failed. The way to tell if it's insulated glass is to look between the two panes where you'll see a spacer bar that is likely either aluminum or black. If you have a warranty that is still in effect for your windows check it to see how long you are covered for seal failure.
