What we do
Why do windows fog up and how is it fixed?
What the work involves, and why it matters for your building.
What it is
A window fogs between the panes when the seal on the insulated glass unit fails and moisture gets in. The glass cannot be cleaned from inside and the insulation value is gone. The fix is to replace the sealed glass unit, which Glasscare does while keeping the existing frame, across northern NJ and NYC.
Why it matters
The fog people see is moisture trapped between the two panes of a sealed unit, which is why no amount of cleaning clears it. The seal has failed, the insulating gas has escaped, and the unit is no longer doing its job. The repair is to replace the sealed glass unit, not the whole window, since the frame is almost always fine. Across a building, foggy units tend to appear over time, so Glasscare identifies and replaces them together to limit disruption.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can a foggy window be cleaned?
+
No. The fog is moisture sealed between the panes, so it cannot be cleaned from either side. The sealed unit needs replacing to clear it.
Do you replace the whole window for a foggy pane?
+
Usually not. When the frame is sound, Glasscare replaces only the sealed glass unit, which is faster and lower cost than a full window.
Does a foggy window mean lost insulation?
+
Yes. Once the seal fails, the insulating gas escapes and the unit no longer insulates properly, which shows up as drafts and higher energy use as well as the fog.
Do you handle fogged units across a whole building?
+
Yes. Glasscare identifies and replaces failed units across multi-unit and commercial properties on one schedule.
How much does foggy window replacement cost?
+
Cost is quoted per building based on count and glass spec. Call (201) 943-1122.
