Glass that is misty or foggy

The presence of fog in windows is an indication that your triple or double glazing is leaky, which can lead to energy losses. The gas that insulates keeps your home cool and warm, is no longer working and seeping through the window. The moisture can cause condensation between the glass panes, making windows appear spongy. Foggy windows can also be ugly, and can lower the value of your house if you are trying to sell it.

Many homeowners believe that the fog in their windows is just dirt or buildup but it's actually an indication of a seal issue. This can happen for many reasons including exposure to direct sunlight, poor installation or simply aging. The seals on windows must withstand the opening and shutting of the window and extreme temperatures all year round. Over time, they can wear down and become less effective.

In most cases, the first thing to do is to simply wipe down of the window. If the fog remains, it is likely that the seals on the windows are the cause. A professional can examine the condition of the window seals using an infrared camera which is designed to detect thermal variations.

If the window seals have been damaged, it could cause the gas argon or krypton to leak, which allows standard air into the glass. The problem with this is that regular air doesn't have the insulating properties of argon or krypton. It will allow the temperature to fluctuate more quickly between indoors and outdoor temperatures which can result in more expensive cooling and heating costs.

A common solution for this is to replace the inner glass unit (IGU) and sash frame with a new one. This is a less costly option than replacing the entire window. Alternatively, the window company could perform a defogging treatment on the window. This involves drilling a hole through the window and spraying a cleaning solution into the air chamber then sucking out any remaining moisture with a vacuum cleaner. A defogger device may be put into the holes to keep them from becoming foggy in the future.

Jammed Window & Door

It can be very frustrating when doors and windows don't open or close. It could also be a fire risk.

Fortunately, there are solutions to fix stuck doors and windows without replacing them entirely.

The first step to fixing the problem of a window that is jammed is to clean the frame and the sash thoroughly. Make use of a vacuum cleaner attachment or a brush to get into difficult-to-reach crevices and corners. You could also try using a toothbrush and hot soapy water to get rid of stubborn grime or residue.

Once your windows and doors are clean, you can try to force them to open again. If they don't move, you can try spraying WD-40 or a different lubricant on the frame and using a pry bar to lift it up. You can also put a small block of wood on the frame to give your pry bar more leverage.
