Why Choose Misty Double Glazing Repair in Crawley?
What Is Misty Double Glazing Repair?
Misty double glazing repair fixes windows with haze, droplets or fog between the panes. Double glazing has two panes of glass with a sealed gap between them. When that seal fails, the unit can no longer keep moisture out. The repair usually means replacing the sealed glass unit. Therefore, you can often keep your existing frame.
Why Does Double Glazing Go Misty?
Over time, the edge seal around the unit can weaken or fail. Outside air and moisture then enter the gap, and the moisture condenses on the inside faces of the glass. Age, temperature changes, weather and sunlight can all wear a seal down. In addition, installation problems or frame movement can sometimes shorten its life.
Can You Clean Misty Double Glazing?
No. Because the moisture is trapped between the panes, cleaning either side of the glass will not remove it. A haze that will not wipe off is the clearest sign of a failed unit. Other signs include droplets inside the glass and reduced clarity. Moreover, a failed unit can insulate less well, so heat may escape more easily.
How Does Misty Double Glazing Repair Work?
We replace misty double glazing panels and window seals. In most cases, the sealed glass unit can be replaced while the existing frame stays in place. As a result, you get clear glass again without the work of new windows. Before we start, we assess the window. That way, we confirm whether only the unit has failed or whether something else needs attention.
Do You Need New Windows or Misty Double Glazing Repair?
Glass units and seals usually wear before the frames do. For that reason, replacing the unit is often all you need. However, every home is different, so we assess each window individually. If the frame itself is worn or damaged, a full replacement may make more sense. In that case, see our page on uPVC windows in Crawley.
What Else Can We Repair Besides Misty Double Glazing?
Misty glass is not the only window fault we fix. We also repair hinges and handles, and we replace worn window seals. Therefore, you can often sort several small problems in one visit. If your windows also leak cold air, read our page on draughty windows in Crawley.
What Are the Signs of a Failed Glass Unit?
A failed unit usually gives clear warnings. You may see a haze that will not wipe off, or droplets between the panes. In addition, rooms by the affected window may feel colder than before. If you notice any of these signs, call us for a free quote.

Misty Double Glazing Repair Crawley FAQs
What causes double glazing to go misty?
Double glazing has two panes with a sealed gap between them. Over time the edge seal can weaken or fail. Moisture then enters the gap and condenses between the panes.
Can I wipe misty double glazing clean?
No. The moisture is trapped between the panes, so cleaning the inside or outside of the glass does not remove it.
Do I need new windows if my double glazing is misty?
Often not. Glass units and seals usually wear before the frames do, so replacing the glass unit can be enough. We assess each window individually to confirm.

Yes. We replace misty double glazing panels and window seals, and we also repair hinges and handles.
