Foggy window repair in Denver, Aurora & near locations

You can prevent condensation by maintaining the optimum temperature and humidity in the room. The following microclimate parameters are suitable for residential premises: air temperature 64-74° F with 40-50% humidity. Maintaining such a climate regime in the room minimizes the likelihood of condensation. This problem can be eliminated using temporary methods, such as treating the misted glass’s surface with a unique solution, warming up the room, or ventilating it.

If windows fog up, you need to ventilate the room more often, as a decrease in temperature increases humidity. It is also necessary to check the effectiveness of the supply ventilation. If the windows weren’t correctly installed, then the influx of warm air will help reduce condensation on the glass. To do this, you need to free the window sill from all unnecessary objects, remove the protective screens from the batteries, and move the curtains for free convection.

There will be no particular problems if condensation appears only in the lower part or around the perimeter of the double-glazed window and dries quickly. Also, it’s not a big problem if the window fogs only in the kitchen during active cooking. Such processes are pretty natural.

But excessive fogging of the window can lead to such undesirable consequences as puddles of water on the windowsill or deformation of the laminate.

The appearance of condensate on the slopes causes the development of mold. It spoils the appearance of the room and provokes respiratory diseases.

In addition, constant and profuse fogging is almost 100% confirmation of excess humidity in the room. Therefore, you should not ignore the problem and call the professionals as soon as possible.

The Foggy Window Repair Cost depends on many factors such as the type of glazing, size and weight of the glass, the complexity of the work, etc. To find out the exact cost of the order, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Plastic windows are the most at risk for fogging in the cold season. Due to the low temperature of the outside air, the double-glazed window gradually cools down. Its temperature reaches the dew point, and then the moisture from the air begins to settle on the coldest surfaces.

Usually, windows fog at the bottom of the double-glazed window, then around the perimeter. But in some cases, condensate covers the entire double-pane window. It sometimes even appears on the window profile and slopes. 

Sometimes moisture can get in between the glass units due to some damages like cracks. In this case, you’ll need foggy window glass replacement. Our team has considerable experience in foggy glass replacement in windows of various shapes and sizes, triple-, double- and single pane. We utilize high-quality materials and tools to ensure the best results for our work. 

Since windows can sweat for various reasons, there is no one way to solve the problem of condensation.

The best way out is to contact specialists in foggy glass repair. Usually, such service members have enough experience to estimate the situation, search for the foggy window’s actual cause, and eliminate it quickly. They will do the following steps to repair fogged window:

Normalize the temperature

 The most common steps at this stage are:

• Replacement of a standard single-chamber double-glazed window with a two-chamber energy-saving design

The inner glass of a double-glazed window will cool much more slowly. Therefore, the conditions for condensate formation will appear only in extreme cold.

• Replacing the window sill with a narrower one or inserting ventilation grilles into a wide window sill board

In this case, the warm air from the radiator will heat the inner glass of the double-glazed window, preventing the window from fogging up.

• Refitting window accessories

Sometimes the cooling of the double-glazed window occurs due to insufficient pressure around the perimeter of the window. By eliminating blowdown, you can reduce heat loss and the risk of condensation.

• Re-installation of the window.

Heat loss and improper distribution of moisture in the area where the structure adjoins the window opening provokes the appearance of condensate not only on the window itself but also on the slopes.

In addition, the problem of low temperature can be solved most simply – by increasing the intensity of heating.

This method is relevant primarily in apartments or houses with autonomous heating, but it is very energy-intensive.

Dealing with excess moisture

In addition, to deal with fogging, you need to reduce the humidity in the room. It is possible only through the organization of regular air exchange.

The easiest way is to regularly ventilate the room (installing micro-ventilation or stepped ventilation on the window). In this case, most of the moisture will go outside.

For exhaust ventilation to work efficiently enough, it is necessary to clean the exhaust ducts. They are often clogged or covered with bars in old houses, so the natural exhaust practically does not work.

Another condition for average air circulation is to ensure its inflow. To do this, you can either regularly ventilate the room, as previously recommended, or install a supply ventilation valve. Due to the right design, wall and window ventilation valves provide access to fresh air. Still, at the same time, they practically do not reduce the temperature in the room and exclude the appearance of drafts.

If foggy windows are not too severe, you can solve them with almost no additional costs.

But sometimes, much condensation on the glass becomes an indicator of large-scale problems with the room’s microclimate. In this case, the task will have to be solved in a complex manner, necessarily involving qualified window specialists.
