Misted Units

What Are Misted Units?
Misted units occur when the sealed gap between two panes of glass in double or triple glazing becomes compromised. The moisture or condensation trapped within the unit causes the foggy appearance, reducing the clarity of the window and impacting your property’s overall energy efficiency. This issue is particularly common in older windows or those that have experienced wear and tear over time. If you’re looking for misted unit repair in the UK, Express Trade is here to help you restore your windows to their original condition.
Why Misted Units Occur
- Seal Failure: Over time, the seal between the panes of glass can deteriorate, allowing air and moisture to enter.
- Ageing Windows: Older windows are more likely to experience seal failures, especially those exposed to the elements for many years.
- Extreme Weather Conditions: Frequent temperature fluctuations, rain, and humidity can cause the seals to weaken and moisture to penetrate.
- Manufacturing Defects: Occasionally, misted units can occur due to manufacturing defects in the window.
