- 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?
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. 🤠🏚️
WOW! Thank you sooooo much for making this excellent & informative video going to order a kit now!!
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 :)
Hey thanks, already know this & they give it a mention on their website. We're not noticing any issues. 🏚️🤠
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
Very informative. Thanks for the upload
Thanks 🤠🏚️
Hey thanks 🤠🏚️
Thanks for the video- just wondering if you still happy with the result
Yes saved me a load of money too!
🏚️🤠
Our double glazing has laminated on the outside and toughened on the inside - will this still work?
I should think so, go to their website for advice on the correct kit 🏚️🤠
Hi, has it stood the test of time? Thanks
Yes it has 🏚️🤠
When u say u could have done a better job in what way u only drilled two holes so what would u do differently ?
It's not easy drilling into glass... try it
And if it's toughened big bang😁
They do a kit for toughened glass if you look 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
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
Great video, I have one question, is this kit suitable for tempered safety glass? Every video on UA-cam 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.
Hi
They do a different kit for that.
Go to their website & you should see it there. 🏚️🤠
Great result but don't attempt this on a toughened panel, it'll shatter into a thousand pieces.
Hey thanks. They explain that on their website. They also have a kit for toughened glass. 🏚️🤠
Make sure your drill is OFF hammer action.
Absolutely.... I should have mentioned that! 🤠🏚️
Are these still effective as we go into a winter? Thanks
Yes it's working for us. It will mist up a bit but always clear.
40 quid,?. I'm in the glass trade and you'll get that unit for 50 quid at most..plus you get a garentee with it..
Yeah that's trade, by the time someone comes to fit a new unit you can at least treble that price.
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.
A window salesman were asking us for £6000 for window replacement in our bathroom.
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.
🏚️🤠
A couple of questions if I can,So how long did it stay clear for after been fixed? Do you drill the inside glass?
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.
🏚️🤠
you say you learned a lot and would do a better job next time. it would be good if you gave some drips of the lessons you learned.
A hair dryer aimed at the glass will work easier and faster than humidity absorbent pellets.
GREAT VIDEO!!!
I'll save this to show any of my friends that have this issue.
Are you still happy with how it's working?
Oh yes, no regrets.
Thanks for watching 🤠
Nice to know, another cool video thanks.
Yes, I was glad I found it & gave it a try, thanks 🤠🏚️
Can yo drill from the inside instead of the outside Edd
Yeah, I believe you can. I'm sure it mentions it on their website 🤠
Works great thanks xx
Can this be used on curved Dg units
I would check on the website, it's in my description. Failing that I would contact them directly using any contact links that may appear on their website.
edd how his the window glazing repair holding up
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.
🏚️🤠
Once you've got holes drilled it's easy to exchange the humid air inside the window using a hoover on one of the holes. Do it when the air is very low humidity.
Good idea 🏚️🤠
The aluminium spacers already contain a dessicant. Better to try to get his out and dry it off somehow?
But that's exactly what it does. It's not drying out with what is there. Over a year now & no problems.
Surpirsed you did not show the actual drilling of the glass
I was thinking of but was on my own & my hands were full. Was more worried about not wrecking the glass. 🏚️🤠
Hi mate , just wondering, if the glass has breather plugs doesn’t that compromise the amount of cold affect your window?
We have not noticed any issues 🏚️🤠
Do you have rhinophyma?
Yes I do
The contents of that kit are pretty standard that cost no more than £10
Yeah but good luck trying to get them for that price with everyone taking the piss at the moment..... feel free to supply sources though 🤠🏚️
Worth mentioning that these kits will only work on windows that are NOT stamped with a BS (British Standard) tempered glass.
Yes, they provide all this information on their website & even do a kit for tempered glass 🏚️🤠
