Moisture between the glass panes in double pane windows typically occurs when the seal between the two panes fails. Double pane windows are designed to be airtight, with a layer of gas (usually argon or krypton) between the panes serving as insulation. However, if the seal breaks or deteriorates over time, moisture from the surrounding environment can seep into the space between the panes.
This moisture can come from various sources such as condensation, rain, or humidity. Once inside, it becomes trapped between the panes, leading to a foggy or cloudy appearance. Over time, this moisture can also cause further damage to the window, including mold growth or even structural issues if left unchecked.
While it's possible to temporarily alleviate the fogging by using a dehumidifier, the ultimate solution usually involves replacing the affected glass or window the seal to prevent further moisture intrusion.
