How it works
Until recently, if you had condensation
inside your double glazed sealed units, which can devalue your
property and make it feel and look old and tired, the only option to
improve it was to replace the unit at great expense, sometimes
involving redecorating and all the mess that entails.
Now - thanks to a remarkable breakthrough in double-glazing repairs
– you can save hundreds or even thousands of pounds and clear the
mist from your windows, making them as clear as the day they were
installed – at a fraction of the price for new units.
Professional double-glazing companies are calling it a “miracle”
technique. Developed in America some years ago and now proven to
work in tens of thousands of homes, it is available locally for you
through the trade’s source for double glazing units, Window Frame
Company under our 'mistbegone' brand name.
This new process is not only cheaper, but is also quick, with your
units repaired in less than an hour without all the hassle and mess
that replacement causes.
What causes misting in your windows?
To understand how 'mistbegone' works, you need to
know why your units have misted in the first place. A combination of
atmospheric pressure and sunlight combine to allow moisture to seep
through tiny gaps in your double glazing.
The majority of misted double glazed windows are found on the sunny
side of the property. The reason for this is simple. When the sun
shines directly onto your double glazing, it warms the air between
the panes of glass, making it rise and expand.
This increases the pressure on the glass and seals. When it cools,
the pressure goes the other way, a bit like a pump coming on and
off. Normally windows that face the sun will mist up before other
windows in your house begin to suffer, because they face the heat of
the sun every day.
Manufacturers understand this problem and put a moisture absorbing
material, a silicon gel, in the spacer bar between the panes of
glass in your windows. This material has the job of chemically
bonding with water molecules to stop water from appearing as mist.
Over time, the silicon gradually gets saturated and can absorb no
more water. When this happens, the moisture evaporates into the air
inside your double-glazing and turns into the condensation that
causes misting on your windows. In the early stages of failure, a
mist may appear and then disappear depending upon the weather as the
moisture evaporates and then condenses again on your windows,
annoying you with its unpredictable appearances and disappearances.
As the problem gets worse, the moisture may start to leave unsightly
deposits on your windows that spoil the appearance of your home.
When friends come around, you can be left feeling unhappy that your
windows look dirty even when you’ve cleaned them carefully, because
the mess is on the inside – beyond your reach.
The other problem with misted windows is that they don’t provide the
same insulating properties that double glazing is famous for. The
water inside your double glazing allows the heat inside your
property to escape, increasing your heating bills.
But now there is a
solution…
The secret that clears your double
glazed windows…
The solution to clearing your windows is very
simple, practical and effective. Our technician will install tiny
valves on the outside pane of your windows that lets them “breathe”.
As part of the process, he’ll also clean between the panes of your
double glazing to help restore them to the way they looked when
first installed.
This means that when your windows heat up, the moisture is expelled
through the valves, allowing your windows to naturally vent the
water back out as moisture in the air. After a few weeks, your
windows will have dried out and you’ll be able to look out through
clear windows again.
Once cleared, your windows not only look better, but they work
better too. Free of moisture, your windows will insulate your
property far more effectively – so that you enjoy reduced heating
bills once more.
What to do now…
Sometimes a window may be damaged beyond repair
by misting and so it’s important to have your windows assessed by an
expert before deciding upon treatment.

unit(s) we can replace them. Call 01279 260143 to book a free assessment of your windows. You could be looking through clear windows within weeks. Why suffer
