When a Double Glazing window fails, the seal on the window is compromised meaning external air is able to enter the window cavity and with air, comes moisture. Over time this moisture sets as condensation on the inside of the window, which you are unable to wipe away.
Our unique repair process is on average 50% cheaper than replacing and it is environmentally friendly too saving hundreds of tonnes of waste glass being sent to landfill sites each year.
Our repair process is fast and convenient. It takes our expert technicians around 20 minutes per window to complete, does not need the glass unit removing from its frame and can be completed from outside of the home.
We operate nationally and since 2009 have successfully repaired over 100,000 windows saving our customers both time and money.
We create 2 small incisions in the outside pane.
We inject specialist solutions to wash the inside face of the window and then coat the surface of the internal glass with our unique anti-fog polymer
We run our translucent sealing gel along the bottom edge to stop condensation reoccurring and then fit our de-fogging vents to allow the window to breathe and aid thermal recovery.
Once completed our technician explains how you can best look after your window and a F A Q sheet is provided.
Then that’s it, you can sit back and once again enjoy your view.
Our customers love it and that’s not it, all repairs come with a 10-year guarantee
Quotations can be obtained on line and orders placed via our website or you can simply call our contact centre and speak to one of our experienced advisors.
I got a quote and it is nothing like cheaper! It’s 100% to just replace the blown unit
Hi there - thank you for your comment.
If you have found a cheaper solution for your needs then great. If you ever wish to try a cheaper, more environmentally friendly alternative then you know where we are.
Thank you!

What's the one way check valve added to vent out humidity? Doing research and don't see anyone else using that part.
I was very dubious about this, but as a last throw of the dice to save replacing a couple of large timber frames with stepped double glazing, I had this process done about 5yrs ago. It removed my internal fogging problem straight away to all but one pane, which had to be retreated (it had a small leak at the bottom). And it somehow seems to still keep the heat in as well as newer dg units, despite the drilled holes in the corners. I'll have it done again when the need arises to other windows, as it avoids glass & maybe frames going to landfill and saves a bit of money.
If there is air between the glass then it is noit working.
@@BigAL0074 - Why?
@@Benzknees Air helps the cold or heat move across the gap, hence the gap. Don't waste time on this rubbish.
@@BigAL0074 - There's always a gas of some kind in the gap, but as long as it's not moving & carrying away heat it won't be a problem. When checked with an infrared thermometer, my treated windows appear to be no lesser insulators than other sealed units I have.
Air between the glass does next to nothing and there's plenty of studies to show it.
Still air vs convection
I’ve seen glass be tempered with no bug stamp on the corner, so people assume it’s annealed. It would be hilarious seeing you guys do this on tempered piece and it shatter thinking it was annealed 😂
That's what i was thinking ...
What a load of bollox double glazing has turned out to be. Mines all fogged and dirty due to crappy seals gone. Im going to split the panes and re-install using sillicon. No more misting up anymore.
The height of the golden oak window is less than 800mm off ground level this should have either lami or toughened . Both cannot be drilled without failing new unit required
Hi Gary, many thanks for your comment.
Laminate glass is two thin pieces of standard annealed glass bonded together with a safety film sandwiched between them. We pierce laminate glass exactly the same way we pierce standard annealed glass. Laminate glass is not tempered and does not shatter when pierced.
Toughened or tempered glass cannot be pierced and we have a specially designed repair process for these units which is offered to our customers.
What repair process is offered in the case of toughened Igus?
I remember the get the fog out videos from a few years ago and always wondered what happens with these panels.
In Australia,it's within 500mmbof finished floor level,doorways,sidelites etc...
I replace a fair lot of igus due to seal failure, particularly at altitude where panels have not been properly specced with capillary tubes on initial installation.
Failure tends to occur in about half the warranted period in these cases..
Gary, your 100% correct, laminate glass is rarely used in residential properties although not unheard of, mostly it would be used for conservatory roofs, if having glass instead of poly carb sheets, laminate is mostly used for shop windows and doors. better to get unit replaced with new glass, space bar and fresh dessicant, it ain't expensive, 👍
Do you have this service available in Spain?
Surely drilling a hole in a toughened pane will shatter it?
is there a way to remove water streaks out of a double pane window? I was washing the window frames with soap and water to remove nicotine not realizing the water was getting inside the double pane windows
Get these guys in…
Try doing that on toughened glass.
How much it will cost for 15 glass window in full house
If you really don't want to pay to renew a fogged DG window, I suggest in principle the followng ... step1 : drill a small hole in a top and opposite bottom corner of one of the panes (to permit internal air flow) ... step2 : use a hot-air gun externally on the glass to heat the whole pane up (to evaporate off the internal condensation) ... step3 : use a cold-blow hairdryer using a small handheld funnel over one small hole to blow out the warm internal moist air, to change it for cold dry air ... step4 : seal both drill holes with glue or silicone. Job Done! ... this will provide a temporary fix, but as the fogging is probably caused by a leaky joint/seal in the DG frame-unit the fogging may return months later, if so just repeat!
Hi, Is it tempered glass? Is it possible to drill a hole with a special tool?
How long can creating such a ventilation hole keep the glass from steaming?
This is total SCAM only idiots will fall for this !
Making a hole in windows that are designed to be fully sealed to keep the cold out to improve the thermal isolation is just ludacris. You are destroying the window's isolation by making a hole that let's cold air in is the same as having a single window and that is a FACT !
The correct way is to replace the window to keep the correct thermal isolation and to keep your house warm not to make expensive useless holes in a window that will destroy your isolation quality of your windows and tell you that a hole in the window is good thing for the environment is a complete scam. You will be paying way less in heating by changing the window rather than having a hole in a window, that will take your heat out of the windows. People think before you watch and call this scammers.
Making a hole in a window is the same as breaking the window or leaving is open forever. Don't fall for scams
tempered glass cannot be cut
This may get rid of condensation but by allowing an air flow between the two panes aren't you basically making the window single glazed and removing any 'U VALUE' your double glazed window had. Why not just replace the window pane
Hi James, thanks for the question, it’s quite a common point that we get asked.
Taking the issue of U Values in windows. Thermal performance in standard windows (95% of windows fitted) is achieved by creating an air filled cavity between two pieces of glass.
The rule of thumb being the wider the cavity the better the U value / thermal performance. A reengineered unit using our process retains this principle design by continuing to provide an air filled cavity and therefore has no effect on thermal performance (a fact established by a leading university study). The installation of our ‘de fogging’ valves work to provide stability of the resting air in the cavity. Our valves allow air to vent in and out of the cavity as and when pressure changes. Pressure will change for instance in summer when air expands and in winter when air contracts.
So why not just replace the window? Replacing a window is of course an option for you and all individuals experiencing this issue. Our service however gives you a new option. An option where you can: obtain a free online fixed price quotation with no door step hassle / save up to 50% when compared to replacement / reduce the impacts of climate change by not throwing away perfectly good windows and obtain a 10 year guarantee compared to 5 years for replacements.
Many thanks for your reply and for taking my question seriously. I do hope you make a success of your business, it really is different and iI can see the benefits . What is your web site detail?
@@crystalclearwindowworks191Not correct. The insulating effect is achieved by trapping an inert gas between the layers of glass.
@@crystalclearwindowworks191 I always believed that the 'Air' as you say is NOT Air but an 'Inert' gas! People are correct in saying that the Sealed Glass Units are Sealed with an Inert gas to maintain the use of 'Double Glazing' There is Nothing to stop the 'Cold' to enter the room fitted with 'Double Glazed' window weather protection???
That’s exactly what I was going to say.
Doesn't the vent in the window impact of the noise reducing effectiveness of the double glazed window????????
The whole point of a sealed unit is that it’s sealed. If the seal breaks, then you allow outside air into the unit which results in condensation and a reduction in thermal performance. The only way you can retain the thermal performance is by reinstating the seal. Making another hole in the outer glass to allow more air circulation inside the sealed unit might get rid of condensation, but won’t reinstate the thermal performance.
The only economical way of reinstating the seal is to buy a new sealed unit. It’s cheap and easy to do. Pop out the upvc glazing beads and measure the glass, including the thickness of the sealed unit. Then go online and order a sealed unit that size for delivery. You can chose the type of glass you want and whether or not you want it filled with Argon. The only tricky thing is getting the glazing beads in and out without damaging them, or the frame. Plenty of how to videos on CZcams. Don’t get involved with this half baked solution that will probably save you very little, if anything at all.
That is rubbish and misinformation. While it is true that replacing the insulated glass unit is optimal, the cost is high and is most of the time not justified.
A double window thermal isolation relies on low heat exchange between the outside air and the air trapped between the double windows. The small translucent rubber caps covering the holes will not make a major difference in the air exchange and insulation especially since your solution is re-using glazing bead guarrantee to create leaks through the frame ! Renewing the sillicon seal is a DIY and will last just as long as the scraped old one did. People like me who have this condensation problem want to get their windows clean and translucent again, the thermal isolation is not a problem in my climate.
Second there is nothing cheap about ordering custom sizes double windows units. I have a half circle large window crown for example that will cost the price of a new car oem windshield to reorder.
the service provided by this company can be an economical effective DIY with minimal tool and make a huge change in the window without spending big bucks which is what most people with that problem want to avoid. Your post is lurring them in the wrong direction as getting glazing beads in and out creates other problems.
@@ericastier1646The hole drilling fix will inevitably result in some loss of thermal performance. This loss can be avoided by replacing the sealed glass unit. And in the UK these units are almost all rectangular. A 4ft x 2ft typical unit costs about £100 delivered to your door. Getting someone round to do a hole drilling bodge will probably cost more, so why do it ?
As for the seal, you seem to be talking about silicone sealant. Windows in the UK are sealed to the outside frame with rubber seals. These are attached to the frame and stay in place when the glass unit is lifted out. You then simply insert the new glass and put the beads back on the inside to hold the glass in place, pressed tight against the rubber seal. Maybe it’s different in the US, but nobody here seals glass into window frames with silicone sealant. We use factory fitted rubber seals for UPVC and putty for traditional single glazed windows.
@@SteveSmith-zo4ml Repeating a mild lie twice does not make it more worthy.
No significant thermal loss occurs from the holes especially if they are capped. Even uncapped you are still significantly better than a single pane window and the difference is infinitesimally small with a sealed two panes unit as proved by infrared thermal imaging taken of two windows one sealed the other not on the same wall in cold weather.
Why would you pay someone to drill the holes instead of doing it yourself ? Any reasonable DIYer can do this on annealed glass. The economical factor is big when doing the repair yourself since this company takes most of its charges on labor. Furthermore if you buy new sealed units you can expect them to fail faster than your old windows lasted unless you also replace all the rubber seals which adds cost, headache to find the exact ones that fit your frame grooves (which most people in older house will not have specs for).
As for the sealant, i believe it is the same system in Usa than UK. I meant epoxy sorry not sillicon at an added extra measure, the rubber seals are still used. Rubber is the best material for many applications.
Bad rubber quality that is the main culprit for these condensation stains. Once humidity passes the external rubber into the second seal on the window unit, winter freeze will do enough damage to break the sealed units insulation.
Good rubber in good condition should never stain your skin black when it ages unless it was exposed to corrosive cleaners or is a low quality synthetic rubber. Once you factor all of this in, and DIY, this repair makes sense both economically and down the road.

@@ericastier1646 I don’t mind having a discussion, but this is the second time you’ve been rude to me. I don’t engage with people who conduct themselves in this way. Let’s just agree to disagree.
What about argon filled windows?
What if it is tempered glass I was led to believe you can not drill it.
It is well worth removing the pane and checking where water is getting in. Often it’s the rubber seals that need changing. I did a recent video here addressing these things for interest: czcams.com/video/rc5DutkQ0WM/video.html
Panels can be dismantled easily, desiccant dried, and everything can be reassembled, reglued and refilled with Argon at home.
Instructions available on this? Thanks
No they cannot, you must be united statian to speak such nonsense. It is a major overhaul. United statians have problem being loosers so they claim that anything short of impossible is "easy" they are afraid of the reality making them look weak.
True fact........It's cheaper to replace the sealed unit.
Hi there - thanks for the comment.
Our repair process has been proven to be 50% cheaper than replacement and also saves glass going to landfill.
There are two factors to consider when it comes to cost of replacing a double glazing unit:
1. The cost of glass, which has increase dramatically over the past 2 years and continues to do so due to Covid, Brexit and Environmental surcharges.
2. Cost of labour to fit the replacement glass which will vary dramatically due to location and size of unit.
These are two variable factors of replacement methods, our repair costs are fixed and quotes can be obtained for free on our website.
Hope this helps!
double glazed units change 100s of units per year quite a few the spacer bar comes away from the glass when taken out you can push the bar with your finger down the edge of the seal so making what you do no good whats so ever as not sealed unit any more no u=value all the units i fit are duel sealed my house all my units are 27years old and still going strong most units break down due to the spacer bar coming away from the glass !!
The cost is not worth it. Get a new unit and save the hassle.
I see in a comment below that a “University” said this technique doesn’t compromise the U value? Which University and where’s the link to the paper? Would be interesting to read it.
Hi Lee,
We have a study carried out from Wolverhampton University on this topic if you wish to review.
If you, or any other viewers wish to see this study, please share with us your email address and we will be happy to share with you.
Thank you!
You ain't gonna be able to do that if the glass is toughened and float glass units are not that expensive to replace👍
I had to watch an advert to watch an advert.🥴
That DG Unit at that Height should be Toughened safely glass.
Good.lick drilling a hole in Toughened glass, without covering the area with shattered glass😂
What about argon gas filled units ??
Hi Sen, thank you for the comment.
Argon gas filled units basically have gas that is placed between the glass panes that boosts energy efficiency as it stops heat transfer through the unit.
Once the unit has failed the gas is lost, therefore we can repair this unit exactly the same as regular, non gas filled units.
Thank you.

@@crystalclearwindowworks191 Yes you can, there is no such service in the US. give a bit of directions of the basics for DIY'ers to do it themselves such as the material of the vent cap and availability, type of hole cutter circular blade (diamond i guess same as tile hole blade), cleaning products, and i guess just 100% translucent sillicon to renew the seal.
Waist glass is recycled
You can do this yourself if you are a DIY person, and it works just fine. Window installers scoff at the idea, for obvious reasons. OK OK lets look the science principle here first so we are on the same page. Double glazed windows have two panes close together, hence the name double glazing. There is a glass pane on the outside, a glass pane on the inside, and a small space in the centre known as an air gap or tight air pocket. When heat energy is transferred from hot spaces to cold spaces we call it convection, but it requires a good conductor. The trapped air in-between the small gap glass cannot circulate, so it is therefore a poor conductor, reducing the rate of heat loss from inside the house. With less heat able to leave the room through the window pane, the room stays warmer or cooler longer. So..4 little holes are not going to affect this simple science. Go for it... Oh...The DIY person. Just drill the hoes thats all. No goop.
Need to use a diamond tip cutter drill and some lube cutting fluid.
Thank you for your response. I tried it and it works great
Don't you need a filter to keep out dust, bugs etc? Also, is there a special kind of drill bit for this?
Use a diamond or carbide burr, or one of those arrow shaped bits from wilkos. Keep it cool with water while you cut and don't press hard.
if you have a window the same as the one in the video and you try to drill it i guarantee 100% that you will have a pile of broken glass on the floor. that unit is going to be toughened glass that cannot be drilled or cut and if its not toughened its breaking all glazing rules in uk [ fensa certas or building control] unless its laminated and that is highly unlikely. for the purpose of this video they must have changed the unit to a non conforming unit
Better off just replacing the glass pain.
Just replace window
Wouldn't just be easier to change the rubber around the window? The hole is in the rubber somwhere
10 years guaranty for a hole
you still have to clean the accumulated condensation minerals fogging the window.
Takes them 20 minutes but you charge half the price of replacement
Agreed this should be a DIY then it would make complete sense.
Bye bye the u value of the unit🙄
Hi Paul - thank you for the comment.
The perception that creating two very small holes (6mm diameter) on the outside pane of a double glazed unit renders the unit to perform as single glazed is not correct.
Two panes of glazing formed with a 10mm to 20mm cavity and filled with air will form an effective thermal insulation barrier and will provide up to 4 times the thermal resistance (R value) of single glazing (depending on the width of the cavity and thickness of the glass).
Hope this helps!
Wouldn't adding a hole from the outside, just defeat the purpose of the double pane? ie creating vacuum insulating airspace?
But I guess if it's foggy, there's already an air leak somewhere, so the insulating properties are not the same as when it was brand new
A single pane window has an R value of 1. A double pane window has an R value of 2. What is not mentioned here is that windows often have argon pumped into them, and obviously this method is going to clear out any argonbut likely with the seal broken then the argon is gone anyway.
IF it is actually much cheaper than a window thats one thing,but from what I've read the results are 'debateable'. I suspect it highly depends on the home. IF you have a pretty nice house which is well sealed and insulated and moisture inside the house is kept fairly moderate then it may work well. Otheres not so much. I'd check the warranty and make sure you are saving money. Where I live I checked with repair companies and they ALL say they will save you money by simply replacing the glass within the window frame, and I would have thought that you could just take your measurements to a big box store or manufacturer and get one made there for cheaper. I'll let you know in a few months because I've got numerous windows in our home starting to do this, and I"m a cheap AND poor bastard.
My god are people still doing this scam. This is a temp fix. A 1m by 1m thermal unit is only 23 quid..change the glass silly people
Really where's that from
Hi both - thanks for the comments.
Your statement is partially correct in that the material cost of replacing the glass can be roughly around the price range you mentioned.
However, this is not where the bulk of the cost lies when actually procuring this service, labour costs also have to be considered, therefore increasing the total cost.
We simply offer an alternative option. An option that is cheaper and more environmentally friendly.
Would love to know where you got this from….I have an 8 pane opening window which has been quoted today at £100 per pane to replace…and thats not with any fancy gas inside…..
That was a 1m x 1m thermal vest you bought at that price mate
As a Glazier of over 25 years, this ain't a repair, it's just papering over the cracks. They don't know what caused unit to break down, simpler to get new units with new space bar fresh dessicant and hot weld etc.
Hi Todd - thanks for the comment.
Our repair process has been created to provide customers with an alternative to replacement, saving both time, money and the environment.
Our repair process restores a failed double-glazed unit back to functionality and has been proven to do so with over 100,000 repairs successfully completed.
Your previous comment around toughened glass is correct, we cannot perform our repair process on glass that is toughened and it is one of our first qualifying questions when booking in work.
Thank you!
Expected your answer for your professional bias. $$$ is the problem, not whether or not replacing the glass unit is better, obviously. This is DIY do able. Of course you will hate hearing that, it takes out your business.
You forgot to say you aren't repairing anything, but you are effectively turning double glazing into single glazing. Paying 50% of a replacement for such a bodged fix is truly false economy.
Thanks for the comments Shane.
We believe it is factual to say that 95% of all double glazed units that are replaced as part of a maintenance routine, are either a) standard double glazed units where thermal performance is created by an air filled cavity or b) Low E double glazed units where an air filled cavity is used in conjunction with a low e coating on glass surfaces providing greater thermal efficiency.
Both these types of double glazed units can be repaired successfully using our repair process and where we are able to restore their thermal performance.
Argon or Krypton filled Double Glazed Units (which you are referring to in your comment on the post above) are special units, chosen by customers where thermal performance is especially important to them and achieved by greater investment.
When these double glazed units fail i.e. through seal failure the gas will escape and the double glazed unit will then perform equally as good as a standard double glazed unit simply because the inert gas will now have been replaced by air.
We do not claim to restore argon or krypton filled double glazed units back to their thermal best. We do however provide all customers with a choice - Repair or Replace.
For some customers they are happy to have previously filled argon units repaired to perform as good as standard units or replaced with Argon filled units to achieve the enhanced thermal performance needed in some circumstances.
@@crystalclearwindowworks191 of the 5% not described above, what are they (if they are double glazed as described?) I'd like to know what other type of double pane glazing you have experience with? (I hope you're not talking about separate panes of float glass :) )
@@crystalclearwindowworks191 This comment needs to be pinned or put in the description. As a sceptic, it took me a lot of scrolling through comments to find this info which explains a lot about the pros and cons, and a deeper understanding of the options available. I never knew double glazing had lower priced options, I always thought they ALL has argon gas in them. It's likely that my cheap windows don't, so this kind of repaid might be worth it. I also have a vent on top of the window which is always open for air circulation, so am wondering if argon gas is even worth it in my case.
Yes but how do you repair the butyl or seal?? Wouldn't the condensation problem after moisture is removed return rather quickly? Seems like a nice idea but doesn't make sense to me.
Try doing that on toughened glass, no chance.
Translucent sealing gel…….you mean mastic😂😂😂😂
Many years, Decades ago we had our whole house double glazed be 'Anglian Windows' and lived there for 18 years, not once did we have this problem with 'Condensation' between the glass! Then years on when we moved to a much larger property we had 21 windows & 4 Patio sliding doors, 2 front and back doors fitted by 'Macs Windows' to our property and now 25 years on Not one double glazed unit has ever had this problem and all the units to this day havve NOT experienced this problem??? Why??
It’s to do with many factors , the type of hot melt used , if it’s glazed correctly with packers , if the unit is taped , if the window has correct drainage , what direction the window faces and sometimes it just luck . Sometimes they breakdown quickly and sometimes they don’t .
Absolute rubbish. The glass would become water stained and there is no way of getting rid of that. Just replace the double glazed unit
Hear hear....I agree with you. It's just another Money making SCAM!
Hi Richard, thank you for the comment.
You are correct, dependent on what stage of failure the unit is experiencing, simple condensation droplets can move to light staining then heavy staining.
For situations where staining has occurred, we have a warm water solution which supports the removal of staining.
BY the look of it the old lady definitely wanted that young man in her house
It takes so long to recover the cost of double pane vs single pane glass , most people will never see the positive effects because the windows don’t last long enough. Quit wasting money on double pane windows unless you think 25 yrs or longer is a good return on your money .
It's not just about the money. I used to live with single pane and it's horrible in winter. So much moisture on the window constantly and the heating never quite felt right, because one side of the room would be warmer than the other. You could literally feel the cold coming through the window if your bed was near it. Since getting double glazed it just feels so much cozier. And here in Britain we pay the highest energy costs anywhere in the world, so the extra cost of double glazing will pay for itself in just one season I think.
Way more benefits to double glazing than simply saving money. Though saving money is a huge benefit.
You're wrong there, it is a significant difference in comfort and heating in cold season.
this is not a repair - the units fail because the seal fails. This does not repair the peoblem - it just gives the moisture somewhere to escape - by allowing cokder air on to a singke piece of glass ... bow you have singke glazibg
that's not a repair ... that's just venting a broken window with no vaccum seal left

They were never vacuum sealed in the first place. Airtight.
This will not do anything except leave you with a fogged up window with holes drilled in it. The double glazed unit is still leaking and will just fog up again, to do this properly you need to remove the unit and refurbish it properly or replace it with a new unit. This will just weaken the glass and nothing more.

Unless it's a temporary fix, just replace the unit! Total false economy
Sounds over priced.Takes 20 minutes to drill a holevclean and plug.

Double glazed units fail because they heat up and cool down by a large variation, especially with large south facing wimndows (doesn't happen so much on north facing glass as the temperature disparity is less). They don't tell you that on Grand Designs with all those floor to ceiling whole wall glass units! The cheapest solution is to take the glass out, separate the two panes (without breaking them!), take them to a glaziers and get the aluminium spacer bar/desicant replaced. I've done this several times on my south facing conservatory.
@@chrislordnelson2325 is that a fairly easy task, or are you in the trade? Our large, south facing conservatory windows seem to be failing one by one - just outside of their 10 year warranty.
Plus what about the Desiccant, that's saturated and useless now too.
My Gran has got a few windows that are like this and she is now being talked into £55,000 worth of replacing the whole lot?
