Misted window repair, done properly
That cloudy, condensation-trapped look between your panes has one cause and one fix. Here's exactly what's gone wrong, and how Dr. Glaze puts it right.
What causes a window to mist up between the panes?
A double glazed unit is two panes of glass sealed together with a thin strip of desiccant-filled spacer bar, and a layer of argon or air trapped in between. Over time — usually somewhere between 10 and 25 years, though it can happen sooner — the edge seal breaks down. Moist air seeps in, the desiccant becomes saturated, and you're left with a permanent film of condensation trapped where you can't reach it.
It's an extremely common problem across Milton Keynes, especially in homes that are 15–20 years old and after a run of damp weather. Left unaddressed, that trapped moisture can encourage mould growth around the frame and leaves your home losing heat through the compromised unit.
You don't need a new window — just new glass
The frame, hinges and locks are almost always completely fine. We simply cut out the failed sealed unit and fit a brand-new one in its place.
Save money
Avoid the cost of full replacement windows by fixing only the glass that's actually failed.
Better insulation
A new sealed unit restores the thermal performance the failed one had lost.
Lower bills
Improved insulation means less heat escaping and a warmer room for less energy.
Clear views again
No more permanent haze — just a clean, crystal-clear pane of glass.

Common places we find misted glass
Conservatory roof & wall panels
Conservatories often show misting first, thanks to greater temperature swings.
Patio & French doors
Large glazed door panels are common candidates for a failed seal.
Bathroom & kitchen windows
Rooms with higher humidity can accelerate seal failure over time.
Older PVCu & timber frames
Units fitted more than a decade ago are the most likely to need attention.
