Hey all, I’ve noticed that one of my double glazed units has gotten foggy and I’m not sure what to do about it. Is this something that can be repaired, or do I need to replace the whole unit? I’ve heard that it could just be a seal issue, but I’m not sure if that’s something I can fix myself or if it requires professional help. Anyone had experience with this kind of issue?

Oh, I’ve definitely run into this issue before! Foggy or failed double glazed units are usually caused by a broken seal between the glass panes, which lets moisture in. In most cases, you can’t just fix it yourself unless you’re really handy, and even then, it’s not a simple task. The best option is to replace the glass unit entirely. That said, some companies do offer a “repair” service where they replace the glass while keeping the frame intact, which can save you money.
If you’re dealing with fogging, it’s a clear sign that the gas between the panes (which helps with insulation) has leaked out, so your energy efficiency may also suffer.

There, you’ll find detailed guides and services that can help you decide whether to repair or replace.
