Window Condensation Part 3 : Between the panes of glass

I was searching for a solution for my dirty windows and I just knew I was going to see another "Replace the lot" video. But this one was actually useful, explaining and demonstrating how the problem occurs. At least I now understand why I am having to replace the lot rather that just taking the word of the window salesman.

Thank you for the comment, someone who actually understood the point of the video.

The best solution is to replace, but you can have temporary fixes. Try to find the source of the leakage, normally outside downwards, and fill it with some waterproof filler, drill some small holes on top from inside and then use a hair dryer from inside to evaporate the fog. This just works if you could effectively stop water from coming inside.

Thumbs up to the honest answer, if not to the (inexistent) DIY solution. Thank you.

[@dcalhoun1974]

Thank you for giving an honest answer on this issue. I have see other videos that, like you said, show someone drilling holes in the glass and using a chemical to clean out the moisture, and seal the holes. I trust your evaluation that this cannot fix the issue, it seemed too good to be true. I am going to replace my 12 year old double pane glass in my doors that have this issue.

[@jesserawson898]

I used to make IGU's on a small scale many years ago when double glazing was essentially taking off. All I can say is that it is perfectly possible to re-do the units provided it is approached in a professional manner. Split the unit apart into two pieces of glass. Reclaim the spacer bars and empty out desicant or buy new pieces and cut them to length. Fill spacer bars with new desicant and assemble into a "picture frame". Thoroughly clean both pieces of glass on the sides that are to be inside the completed unit Attach spacer bar assembly to one pane of glass appropriately set in from the edge of the glass Lower 2nd piece of glass onto spacer bar and align Lightly clamp or tape assembly together to prevent glass/spacer bar movement. Fill the gap between sheets of glass up to the level of the edges of the glass with sealant Allow sealant to fully cure, (several hours). Reglaze window with repaired unit. You will need something to fill the hole in the wall that used to be a window while you carry out repairs You will need to purchase new desicant, new spacer bar if original cannot be reclaimed. You will need a flat area to lay down the prepared unit while you fill the edge with sealant and allow the sealant to cure. The sealant will likely be two part polysulphide rather than hot melt (not silicone sealant). Of all the chores, cleaning the glass will likely be the most difficult. It will be mortifying to be installing your nice re-assembled unit into the window frame only to notice a smear or some dirt inside the unit that cannot be dealt with. Good luck ! ! ! ! Properly done the unit will be as good as a purchased new unit. No one said it would be easy, but it is doeable

[@PaddysDiy]

Never said it wasn't possible to do. I said i would be surprised if someone was providing a service of reconditioning old units. The amount of time involved to recondition a unit far outweighs the cost of replacing with a new one. If there is anyone providing such a service, they either don't value their time or have no concept of running a business. Because what you describe is FAR from an easy diy job. You are experienced doing it, so it would be a lot quicker for you, but still a slow job. From my experience, the vast majority of people don't even know how to remove a unit from a window / door, let alone undertake reconditioning a unit. For people who have plenty of time and have a good level of skill, it is totally possible as you outlined. But for 99.9% of people, it's not an option. The point of the video is to show the reason why they break down, and to show that there is no quick fix.

[@AbsurdlyAwkward]

I have this on the doubble glazing in my council flat and they won't replace the windows. The best I could do as some form of solution was find the damaged parts of the sealent and reseal it, it doesn't remove the condensation but it stops it getting any worse. Thankfully it's not as bad for the age of them as some of the examples youve shown here.

[@PaddysDiy]

That's unfortunate. Wish there was a cheap easy solution for you

[@amandabelaire3]

I saw those videos, too. And I'm glad I found this one because drilling holes and such seemed like it would cause more problems than fix. So the answer is they're old and need to be replaced. A pity, but I'd rather know that than wreck something trying to do it myself. Thanks!

[@PaddysDiy]

Drilling a hole would be much cheaper. They blow it out with an air compressor. Then you can caulk the holes back. It will definitely prolong you having to buy a new one

I'm not seeing the difficulty in removing/cleaning/replacing. I'll grant you, if your labor is worth anything at all, it's not cost effective. But I'm mostly retired, and would rather putter than go do a couple of hours at what I normally do to pay to replace the window. Just looked at my problem window again - looks to be a tri lobe rubber seal. I know those can be a bit of a pain to seat, but it's not that bad. Off to find a guide somewhere.

[@rtel123]

This problem will continue everywhere until the greedy manufacturers stop making them to fail, forcing you to buy new. The cause is obvious. The failures are on the hot sunny sides of the house. The units are made in a comfortable working temperature factory. When in the hot sun, the air expansion is massive, and will eventually blow out a weak spot in the glue. Then at night, there is a vacuum created and cold damp air is sucked in. After many repeats, the moisture condenses on the glass. There are two ways they can prevent this. One, is to glue the unit together in a hot chamber, so that later on, the unit is mostly under slight vacuum, pulling the glue together, rather than forcing it apart. The hot sun cannot create such a high pressure anymore. The other way is to put a tiny one-way check valve in the spacer, so that the first time the sun raises the temp and pressure, the valve releases the pressure, and from then on, most of the time there will be a slight vacuum, as described above.

[@hazelhowden9461]

cut through the sealant as shown, take it apart, clean old sealant, remove and dry desiccant in the oven. reassemble, seal with PU glass sealer leaving two holes one at the top and one at th ebottom bottom. refill with argon, use cigarette lighter as a gauge, seal holes and you have saved yourself a lot of money

[@PaddysDiy]

Thanks for the comment

[@maxymaxy-i7n]

I solved the problem of condensation between the glass sheets. in my case, it's 23°C at home and -5°C outside, and of course the condensation appeared between the glass sheets. I took a roll of food foil (plastic), tore it and made plugs from the foil. with these plugs I plugged all the ventilation holes on the profile (outside) and inside the joinery frame (as you open the window on the frame, there are two ventilation holes at the top and two at the bottom). after a maximum of 12 hours, the water remaining between the glass sheets has disappeared. I must also specify the fact that I was lucky that the water between the glass sheets was clean so that once the water disappeared, there were no traces or traces of dust or mud as the case may be. if the condensation combines with dust or earth particles, then after drying, dust could remain. translate with google translate. good luck.

[@fzall1457]

If the joints can be resealed and using high setting heat gun, wouldn't this solution work? I'm definitely going to try this approach.

[@PaddysDiy]

If you have the time to do it my friend give it a try. Couldn't tell you if desiccant will dry out and be usable again. Give it a go

[@leftblank6036]

The only thing I can think of is to use a heat gun from the outside? it wont remove stains, but perhaps it can evaporate the water ?

[@PaddysDiy]

The sun will warm up the moist air and it will evaporate. The reason why it fogs up and looks wet between the two panes, is because the evaporated moisture can't get back out and re-condenses when it gets cold. So unless you keep the temperature all the time above the dew point it won't work I'm afraid.

Although your video is very informative, and to the point - the issue for most of us mere mortals is the companies ive dealt with have both told me i need new windows complete!

You have 2 scenarios. Either your going to the wrong companies, who are just trying to sell you new windows or you are going to the right companies who are being honest with you and telling you your money would have better value spent on new windows. You need to determine yourself whether its worthwhile to replace the glazing or the whole windows. Is all or nearly all your double glazing fogged up? How old are the windows? Are they energy efficient? Some of the things to consider

[@markc1844]

@@PaddysDiy Thanks for your reply, I think it was the wrong company trying to sell us new windows, Neither one even took ay trims out or anything to look. 8 Years Old our windows are, we have a large glass supplier near us and i went there, the chap i saw was soooo different to the 2 window firms, He said they could make the units up for me to instal, and they would be filled with Argon (They make all the glazing for local Window Companies) & they could deliver. He also had the same of a glazier who would be able to do it and replace the black seals too! So I called him and hes replacing the glass in the big bay window which is 2 big units and 5 of the other smaller windows for £570!! We are delighted, glass on order and he will have a big tip!

[@markc1844]

@@PuppyBiteforTrump Hello Tina, we did find a company to replace our sealed units & seals in the end! The companies that tell you you need whole new windows are talking a load of Bull! The glazed units are a separate item to the window, they can be made for any size. Ours were complicated somewhat in the fact the trims had been siliconed in due to our burglary , however they done a great job. The new units were clearer and keep the heat in better than the older units. I was going to replace them myself, however decided to have it done, as they also took all the old glass away. There is no maintenance really, rubber is bonded to glass to make the units, glass and rubber expands when it gets warm, therefore failure in many years is inevitable. Any other questions please don't be afraid to help, regards Mark.

[@uncurlydiykeratin7860]

Give me one good reason why you can't simply separate the panes (or at least one of them) from the hollow center channel, refill the channel with new dessicant, then reattach the pane(s) to the channel, seal the outer edge, and put the window back? Why do you think the glass and channel need to be scrapped? Talk about wasteful and needlessly expensive...

[@PaddysDiy]

Sounds so easy doesn't it, take it out, split the glass from the spacer, replace the desiccant, clean the glass and re-glue the glass back on. Do you realise how long it takes to do that? An absolute age to do it properly. I would be surprised if there is a glazier that even provides this service. If there is, then they have absolutely no value for their time or are charging way more than what it would cost to just replace it. I'll give you a bit of information. When you're hiring any trades person to do work for you. You're paying for their time. From the time they get into their van to drive to you, they are on the clock. So the shorter the amount of time to complete a job, the cheaper it will be. Replacing the fogged double glazing is going to be WAY quicker than what you're suggesting. Which in turn is going to be cheaper. If you're doing this job yourself that's fine. By all means go ahead if you have the time to do it. But there is absolutely nothing simple about what you suggest. Do you realise how difficult a job it is to do? And dangerous even for glaziers who know what they're doing, let alone a DIYer? I know a glazier who was splitting a unit to use one of the panes of glass. Knife slipped while cutting the glue, glass broke and went straight into his hand. Five hours in a&e and eleven stitches. How is it wasteful? Glass is probably one of the most recyclable materials in the world. It's just melted down and made into new glass. All the old glass I replace is separated into a skip and sent to be recycled. I'll tell you what's wasteful is the time anyone wastes trying to reseal or repair fogged double glazing. And the time reading your comment and thinking you know what you're talking about. Anyway, I have to go. I need new tires on my car, but it's too expensive to get new ones, so I'm going to rethread them myself. Don't know what I'm doing but what's the worst that could happen eh? 🙃

All the Windows in the house I bought have crap windows that are dirty in between and the answer is to replace all. Replace with what? I live in a colder climate what’s the alternative to these crap windows

[@PaddysDiy]

The whole idea of double glazed windows is they give way more insulation than single glazed windows. 3 or 4 more. So if you have a whole house of single glazed windows, the money you spend heating your home is absolutely flying out the windows. Double glazed units are sealed in the factory the day they are made. They're never designed to be taken apart to be cleaned. They are glued together. Good double glazing that is fitted correctly should last for at least 20 years before they break down and let in moisture. That is just the nature of things. Nothing lasts forever. It sounds like the windows in your house are at the end of their life. So replace them with single glazed windows if you want to live in a freezer. Double glazing is you want to have a good level of comfort or triple glazing if you really want to minimise heat loss.
