We replace cloudy, moisture-filled, and condensation-trapped double and triple pane sealed glass units across Edmonton, Sherwood Park, and St. Albert. Keep your window frame, restore clear views, and can cost less than full window replacement, depending on the project.

Quick Answer: Can foggy windows be repaired?

Yes. Foggy windows or condensation between panes are caused by a broken perimeter seal in the insulated glass unit (IGU). Instead of replacing the entire window frame, Window Tune-Up Co. installs factory-new, Edmonton-manufactured glass units inside your existing frames—restoring full clarity permanently.

Why Window Glass Fogs Up

Understanding failed window seals in Edmonton climates

Extreme seasonal temperature shifts cause window glass to expand and contract, eventually breaking the perimeter seal of Insulated Glass Units (IGU). Once broken, moist Edmonton air enters between the panes, trapping fog and mineral deposits that cannot be wiped off.

Why "Defogging" Drills Don't Work Long-Term

Drilling small holes or spraying chemicals inside failed glass units only temporarily removes visible moisture. It does not restore lost Argon insulating gas or fix the broken seal, allowing cold air to bleed into your home. Replacing the sealed unit completely addresses the failed sealed unit.

High Thermal Performance Standard

Every replacement sealed unit includes microscopic silver Low-E coatings and high-density Argon gas insulation as standard, designed to improve thermal performance when the selected glass specification is appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about foggy window repair

Can you clean the fog out from between the glass?

No. Once moisture enters between the panes, mineral deposits etch into the glass. "Defogging" methods that drill small holes into the glass do not restore lost Argon gas or fix the broken seal.

Quick Measuring Guide

📐 1. Measure the Visible Glass

Measure the width and height of just the glass pane from edge to edge where it meets the frame/bead.

🔍 2. Double or Triple Pane?

Select whether your window has 2 panes of glass or 3 panes.

💡 The Flashlight Trick: Shine your phone's flashlight at the glass at an angle. Count the reflection dots—each glass pane creates its own reflection! (2 reflections = double pane, 3 reflections = triple pane).
