Residential Window & Door Terms
What Foggy Window means
Foggy Window means a window that looks cloudy or hazy between panes, usually because the seal in an insulated glass unit has failed.
A foggy window usually indicates moisture between panes of an insulated glass unit. Customers may describe it as cloudy, hazy, dirty inside, or sweating between the glass. The post should explain that exterior cleaning will not fix moisture trapped between sealed panes and that a professional inspection can determine whether glass-unit replacement, resealing, or a full window solution is appropriate.
Homeowners use this term when describing window problems, deciding whether to repair or replace glass, or explaining what they see in photos. Use this term when helping homeowners understand whether they need glass-only replacement, resealing, or a full unit replacement.
