I hired DoorWin services to replace two cracked glass windows for a unit at my triplex. An exterior porch window and interior stairwell window I just needed the panes of glass replaced and not the entire frame . DoorWin was happy to do the job. Unlike some other companies who wanted to replace the entire frame at a higher cost. They were very quick with a quote and were able to perform the job on an extremely tight timeline that I had to unexpectedly move up. Very professional. Friendly. Dependable. Competitive prices. Took away all materials and left a clean worksite. Would highly recommend and will work with them again if I need another window repair.
Foggy Glass Repair & IGU Replacement
Fog, haze or moisture that stays between the panes usually points to a failed sealed glass unit rather than dirt on the room side. We check the sealed unit and frame, then arrange the measured glass replacement while keeping sound surrounding components.
A failed seal usually means the sealed glass unit is replaced
A failed insulated-glass seal is usually corrected by replacing the sealed glass unit, not by applying caulking over the old unit. When the frame is still serviceable, the full window often does not need replacement.
Signs that the moisture may be between the panes
- Fog or moisture that cannot be wiped from either side.
- White film, streaks or mineral-looking marks inside the glass.
- Clouding that becomes more visible during cold weather.
- Haze that remains after normal cleaning.
Moisture or haze between panes
Moisture trapped between panes usually calls for replacement of the sealed glass unit in the window or door.
Air, water or draft around the frame
Air, water or a draft around the frame points instead to perimeter caulking, weatherstripping, frame or window-system work.
What we check
- Whether the symptom is inside the sealed unit or on a glass surface.
- Whether the existing window or door frame can stay.
- The measurements and visible configuration of the replacement unit.
- Whether the concern belongs to glass replacement, perimeter sealing or a broader window service.

Questions about Foggy Glass Repair & IGU Replacement
Can a failed window seal be repaired without replacing the glass unit?
A failed sealed glass unit is normally corrected by replacing the unit rather than applying caulking over the old glass. The existing frame can often remain when it is serviceable.
How can I tell whether condensation is between the panes or on the surface?
Surface condensation can be wiped from the room-side or exterior surface. Moisture or haze trapped inside the sealed space remains inaccessible from both sides.
Can the frame stay when foggy glass is replaced?
Often yes. We check the frame, sash, stops and glazing pocket before the replacement unit is ordered.
Does foggy glass in a patio or entry door use the same service?
Yes. We also replace failed sealed glass in entry, garden and patio-door panels. We measure the door glass and check the panel and frame before ordering a compatible unit.
What if the draft or water is coming around the frame instead?
That points to perimeter caulking, weatherstripping, frame or window-system work rather than a failed seal between panes.
What photos help identify a failed window seal?
Send straight-on photos from inside and outside, close-ups of the haze or moisture, the full window or door panel and the approximate visible glass dimensions.
Send photos from both sides of the glass
Send straight-on photos of the haze, the full opening and the frame. We will separate a failed sealed unit from a perimeter or surface-condensation issue.
