Double glazing is comprised of two panes of glass which are separated by an insulating space, typically filled with argon gas to provide increased thermal efficiency. This creates an airtight seal that keeps warm air inside and cold outdoor air outside, allowing you to keep the temperature at a comfortable level in your home.

In time, however, this seal will begin to break down and moisture can begin to build up between the windows, causing them to become misty. This happens because the space between the panes gets heated by the sun, which causes water vapour to build up within it.
