Foggy or misty glass

The presence of fog in windows is a sign that your double or triple glazing is leaking, and this could result in energy losses. This is because the gas that keeps your home cool and warm is no longer performing its function and is spilling out through the window. The condensation caused by the moisture can cause condensation between the panes of glass and it can make the windows look wet. Glass that look cloudy can be unattractive, and decrease the value of your house when you attempt to sell it.

Many homeowners mistakenly believe that the fogging in their windows is simply dirt or buildup However, it's actually an indication of a leaky seal.
