Misty Windows
Double-glazed windows are susceptible to degradation with time, whether they're constructed from aluminum or plastic frames. The seals can also fail. If this occurs, the glass will begin to fog and you'll see a build-up of water between the panes. This can be repaired however you may need to have the entire window replaced, based on the severity of the damage. The best way to avoid this is to keep your windows clean and to use an extractor fan in rooms that might get damp or use a professional window cleaner.
Double glazing that is misted can be unsightly but it isn't usually a sign of poor maintenance or installation, rather it's a sign that the window has failed in some way. The mist forms because the unit bar has been broken, which allows moisture and air to get into the gap between the two glass panes. If it is left unattended, it will allow warm air to escape and cold air enters. This will compromise the efficiency of your home's energy use. It can also lead to higher utility bills as you will be paying to heat a space that isn't as insulated as it should be.
It is crucial to fix misted windows as quickly as you can in order to prevent condensation and deterioration or the glass units.
