Foggy window glasses shouldn’t exist. And especially not in commercial buildings. Not only are they ugly looking and blind you from enjoying the outside view, but they are also a hint that the window glass requires repair or replacement.

Now, window glass repair from various window glass services doesn’t generally fix foggy window glass. This is why many commercial building owners settle for window glass replacement even when the prices are high.

But when it comes to Window Medics’ commercial foggy window repair in Ottawa, you might have a chance to reduce the expense and even enjoy clear window glass without glass replacement. Before talking about the solution process, let us see why window glass becomes foggy.

Why window glass becomes foggy?

Window glass getting foggy is a common issue, and in single glass panes, the fogginess goes away before the day ends. And this is not an issue, but when the double or triple pane window glass fogs, it accumulates over time, and moisture gets trapped between glass panes making it foggy and never coming out.

Here’s why window glass fogs:

● Condensation

Sometimes condensation occurs on the exterior part of your window glass, and sometimes it occurs on the interior side of the window glass. None of the phenomena will last long, but if your windows are at fault, this condensation may find its way to get in between your window glass panes and, over time, find a way to get trapped and make your window glass foggy beyond cleaning.

Condensation occurs when your window glass is hotter or colder than dew points outside or inside your home.

● Solar pumping

This is a very well-known phenomenon among double-pane and triple-pane windows. The double and triple pane window glasses are designed for insulation and stability. There is air in between the panes. But with regular heating up and then cooling down of the air in between the glass panes makes them fail at their job at one point.

The constant expansion and contraction lead to a broken seal and eventually letting moisture inside the panes.

How can Window Medics repair help?

Window Medics’ commercial foggy window repair in Ottawa is not a typical window glass repair. The company has developed a process called defogging process, which focuses on defogging the foggy glass windows using developed technology and special tools and equipment.

The defogging process involves drilling miniature holes in the outer parts of window glass panes. Through these holes, a technician attempts to clean the glass panes using an appropriate cleaning solution to clean the window glass. Then using a vacuum for glass cleaning, they try to suck out the moisture trapped between the glass panes. Once the window glass panes look new and almost return to their original state, the technicians will use a defogging device so that the window glass panes won’t go through similar fogging shortly.

The next will follow a process of sealing off the holes, not too loose or not too tightly but appropriately.

What can this defogging process fix?

● Unclear window glass: Foggy window glass often makes it harder for people to look through it properly. It may seem like you can clean the dirt away, but instead of going away, it worsens with time. Even when you think nothing is broken with your window glass, unclear window glass is not an aesthetic sight.

Defogging drives out the moisture and makes your window glass as clean as it was originally.

● Prevent solar pumping: Expansion and contraction with regular weather conditions are bound to occur between window glass panes, but with a defogging device installed inside the glass panes, you can prevent getting your window glass panes damaged due to solar pumping.

● Avoid insects and molds & mildews: Foggy windows eventually will cause wetness and dampness around the area, which is a place favorable for the growth of molds and mildews. These are a concern for health overall, but they can also damage parts of your house.
And none of us are finding the crawly termites cute anytime soon. Defogging keeps these from occurring or happening within the house.

What can this defogging process not fix?

Are your window glass panes installed a whole lot earlier? If your window glass fogging is part of getting old and working for more years than it is supposed to, then the energy efficiency of your window glass panes is already destroyed. Even if the defogging process can clean your glass panes and make them look like original glass, it cannot restore the energy efficiency in your window glass. In such a case, the wise route is to replace your window glass.
