Foggy Glass Window Repair

See Clearly Again: Foggy Glass Window Repair

A foggy window isn’t just an eyesore; it’s a sign of a failed seal in your insulated glass unit (IGU), leading to reduced energy efficiency and compromised views. At CR Glass Door and Window, we specialize in foggy glass window repair services, restoring clarity and performance to your windows.

This condensation between the panes means your window is no longer insulating effectively. Our expert technicians can replace the compromised glass unit, rather than the entire window frame, offering a cost-effective solution. We ensure a precise fit and durable seal, enhancing your home’s comfort, energy savings, and the beauty of your views.

1. What causes windows to become foggy or have condensation between the panes?

Foggy windows are typically caused by a failure in the seal of an insulated glass unit (IGU). Over time, this seal can break down, allowing moisture-laden air to penetrate the space between the glass panes, leading to condensation and a foggy appearance.

2. Can a foggy window be repaired, or does the entire window need to be replaced?

In most cases, if only the glass unit is foggy, we can replace just the insulated glass unit (IGU) rather than the entire window frame. This is a more economical and environmentally friendly solution that restores clarity and energy efficiency to your existing window.

3. How does a foggy window affect my home's energy efficiency?

A foggy window indicates that the insulating gas (like argon or krypton) has escaped and been replaced by air and moisture. This significantly reduces the window’s thermal performance, making it less effective at blocking heat transfer. This means your heating and cooling systems work harder, leading to higher energy bills.

4. How long does a foggy glass window repair typically take?

The repair process for a foggy glass window usually involves measuring for a new custom-made insulated glass unit, which then needs to be fabricated. Once the new unit is ready, the installation itself is relatively quick, often completed within a few hours, minimizing disruption to your home.

5. Is there a warranty on foggy glass window repairs?

Yes, at CR Glass Door and Window, we stand by the quality of our work. Our foggy glass window repairs, specifically the replacement insulated glass units, typically come with a manufacturer’s warranty against seal failure and condensation between the panes. We will provide full warranty details during your consultation.
