Condensation in between double-glazing

[Dewi]

I've recently noticed that there is (what appears to be) condensation in-between the two panes of glass that make up the double glazed units on 3 of my windows. Does anyone know how to remove this? or will I have to replace the glass?

It means the seal has broken down between the 2 panes of glass, you will need a double glazed new sealed unit.

So do you think I could remove the existing unit and take it to a double glazing manufacturer for them to repair to seal/reseal. It would mean that I would not have to buy a new unit which may be a slightly different thickness?

The chances of opening the unit without breaking the glass is very very slim and usually done at your own risk which means you'll end up paying for a new unit anyway.

The only time I ever open a unit is when I want to re-use any internal Georgian bars. The glass itself always breaks when I do this and I have to put the unit back together with new glass. It is very labour intensive and even if done successfully, would probably cost you more in labour costs than to buy a new unit in the first place.

It's always cheaper just to have a new unit made.
