Fog or condensation inside a double glazed unit.
Is it repairable?
Using a kit, from Condensation2clear.com I attempt to give it a go.

Great video, couple of questions, one of my windows is high up, could I drill it from the inside of the house? Is the window still as effective with regards to heat loss etc after drilling? Do the little drying out pellets disappear / dissolve?

@eddintheshed Жыл бұрын

Thanks, yes drilling from the inside is recommended by the manufacturer for high windows. The little beads do dissolve & disappear. According to the manufacturer there should be no loss in performance. I did mine at the end of winter early spring so we will find out. 🤠🏚️

Thank you, I learnt something new there and now have another option to offer clients (after trying my self of course). I would also loke to add that double glazing cavity comes sealed with an inert dense gas called Argon (sometimes Xenon,) as it is these are more dense than our atmosphere (air), it is a major part of the insulation protecting from the cold (or heat I guess :)

@stuartroyle1402 Жыл бұрын

a great job and neatly done...now i do have to ask is why the unit failed in the first place?,,,perhaps the outer seal around the glass is letting moisture in? and will it soon happen again wonder what is the best way to fix the problem ....i now have several windows that i installed myself twenty years ago that are suffering from condensation ingress and

A hair dryer aimed at the glass will work easier and faster than humidity absorbent pellets.

Excellent video. Very informative and is going to save a lot of people a lot of money. One question..... I am see a lot of surface water marks/cloudiness on the inside of some windows, in areas that look dry. Does this kit remove those marks??

Hey thanks. It may not completely remove marks.

Sounds more like a thief than a salesman. This is one of the reasons I do what I do. I don't get how they think ordinary people can afford all this. 🏚️🤠

Great video, I have one question, is this kit suitable for tempered safety glass? Every video on KZfaq shows people trying to drill into safety glass only for it to explode. After fitting a new door lock one of the panes of toughened glass exploded. I replaced that glass but now I have condensation….I want to drill a hole but I don’t want it to explode! Any advice would be appreciated.

@eddintheshed Жыл бұрын

Hi They do a different kit for that. Go to their website & you should see it there. 🏚️🤠

@kobiroar4221 Жыл бұрын

A couple of questions if I can,So how long did it stay clear for after been fixed? Do you drill the inside glass?

@eddintheshed Жыл бұрын

It occasionally mists a bit but always clears. You drill from the outside but if it's high up you can do it from the inside. Full instructions are on their website. 🏚️🤠

Do you know if the manufacturer has dobe trsts on how this affects the U rating of a typical dg window? Just wondering as I'm dreading fuel bills again this winter

@eddintheshed 10 ай бұрын

The manufacturer of the kit has more detailed information on their website. We have not personally noticed any difference in the performance of the glazing unit or our heating costs

@Robert-ts2ef Ай бұрын

Worth mentioning that these kits will only work on windows that are NOT stamped with a BS (British Standard) tempered glass.

@harry130747 Жыл бұрын

The aluminium spacers already contain a dessicant. Better to try to get his out and dry it off somehow?

@eddintheshed Жыл бұрын

But that's exactly what it does. It's not drying out with what is there. Over a year now & no problems.

@eddintheshed Жыл бұрын

Hi, I'm still happy with the result. The window does mist up occasionally when it's cold but always clears again. With the current price hikes I'm quite happy that it's good enough to negate the need to replace the window unit. 🏚️🤠
