Description
Two panes of glass hermetically sealed with a dead air space between. Double glazing is used for insulated windows. When the seal is broken, moisture may condense between the two panes forming a haze. The fogging is remedied by drilling small weep holes at the bottom of the inner pane to provide better circulation. The insulation value is only slightly decreased.
