Moisture between double pane windows can obscure your view and affect your home’s energy efficiency. Argo Glass & Windows offers expert advice and solutions to tackle this common problem, ensuring your windows remain clear and functional.

Causes of Moisture Accumulation

• Seal Failure: The primary cause of moisture between window panes is a failure in the window’s seal, allowing exterior air to condense inside.
• Wear and Tear: Over time, windows can develop wear that compromises their integrity, leading to moisture issues.

DIY Solutions for Moisture Removal

• Silica Gel: Placing silica gel packets near the window can help absorb moisture from the air, reducing condensation.
• Ventilation: Improving airflow in the room can help reduce humidity levels and prevent condensation on window surfaces.

Professional Solutions

• Seal Repair or Replacement: For windows with compromised seals, professional repair or replacement is often necessary to permanently solve moisture problems.
• Drill Holes: In some cases, drilling small holes in the window can release trapped moisture, but this is a temporary fix and can compromise the window’s insulative properties.

Preventing Moisture Build-up

• Regular Maintenance: Inspecting and maintaining window seals can help prevent moisture from entering between panes.
• Use of Dehumidifiers: In humid environments, using a dehumidifier can help maintain lower humidity levels indoors, reducing the risk of condensation.
• Proper Installation: Ensuring windows are correctly installed with high-quality seals can prevent moisture problems from developing.
