Why condensation forms?

Why condensation forms Between a failed Double-glazing Unit When condensation between double pane windows forms it means the seal on the insulated glass unit has failed. In this situation, why replace the unit when you can fix it? How Insulated Glass Works With double pane windows, the insulating airspace in between the glass panels reduces heat loss. Most modern windows have two panes of glass an inner seal to protect against moisture and corrosion, and an outer seal to protect the strength of the window. The seals hold a spacer in place Why Do Seals Break? For the most part insulated glass windows work extremely well. They can withstand and handle all types of weather, including cold temperatures, heat, and humidity, as well as repetitive open and close motions. With the double seal, when one seal begins to break, the other can hold the line for a while. However, as the window ages its components begin to break down, and the standard lifespan of double pane windows ranges from 10 to 20 years. Other than old age, there are two additional factors that affect seal breakage. Water retention in the frame or improper drainage around the window. Direct exposure to sunlight the more sun your window gets, the more heat will build up causing the panes to expand, contract and eventually weaken. Once the seal is broken, moisture begins to form between the panes, giving your windows a milky, foggy look.
