Why are my windows fogging up between panes?

Windows fogging up between panes usually means there's a problem with the seal on your double or triple-pane windows. Here are a few reasons why this might happen:

1. Over time, the seals around your window panes can wear out or break.

2. Older windows are more prone to seal failures due to the natural wear and tear over the years.

3. Rapid changes in temperature can cause the seals to expand and contract.

4. If your windows weren't installed properly, the seals might not be tight enough to keep out moisture.

5. High indoor or outdoor humidity levels can contribute to moisture buildup between panes.

Is condensation between windows normal?

Condensation between windows is not normal and indicates a problem. When you see fogging or moisture between the panes, it's a sign that the seal has failed.

Double and triple-pane windows are designed to be airtight and filled with insulating gas, like argon or krypton, to improve energy efficiency. When the seal breaks, the insulating gas escapes, and moisture from the air seeps in.

I've dealt with this issue in the past, and it's always been a sign that the window needs repair or replacement. It's important to address this problem promptly because the longer the moisture is trapped between the panes, the more likely it is to cause further damage to the window and potentially even lead to mold growth. In the next part, you can learn how to get rid of the troublesome condensation.

How to get rid of condensation in the middle of double glazing by a blow dryer?

Getting rid of condensation in the middle of double glazing with a blow dryer can be a temporary fix. Here are four steps to help you:

Step 1. You need to clean and dry the area

The window should be clean and dry on the outside. Move any curtains or blinds out of the way, and make sure you have easy access to an electrical outlet for your blow dryer.

Step 2. Set up blow dryer

Plug in your blow dryer and set it to a high heat setting. I believe the airflow is strong enough to reach between the panes. If your blow dryer has a nozzle attachment, use it to concentrate the heat.

As we mentioned, both Laifen SE and Laifen Swift can help you blow out moisture quickly and easily. You can directly purchase them here and you will then receive a concentrator that will be more helpful in dealing this condition.

Step 3. Make heat to the edges

Direct the blow dryer at the edges of the window where the seal is. Move the dryer slowly around the perimeter of the window.

Step 4. Monitor the progress

Continue applying heat for several minutes, keeping an eye on the condensation. It may take some time for the moisture to evaporate fully. Once the fogging starts to clear, continue for a few more minutes until you notice all moisture is gone. That's all for the tutorial. If you want to try other paths, countine to read.

3 alternative ways to fix condensation between double-pane windows

Here are three alternative ways to fix condensation between double-pane windows:

Replace the seals

If the seal around the window has failed, you can have it professionally repaired. This involves removing the window, cleaning it, and installing a new seal to keep moisture out.

Install a dehumidifier

It's a good idea to use a dehumidifier in the room to reduce the overall moisture level. Lowering humidity can help prevent condensation from forming between the panes.

Window replacement

If the window is old or the seal is significantly damaged, replacing the entire window might be the best option.
