Why is my double-pane window foggy between the panes?

A double-pane (thermal or insulated) window is two panes of glass with a sealed space between them. When that seal fails, humid Florida air gets inside, and moisture condenses where you can't reach it. That's why the haze won't wipe off from inside or outside.

A broken seal is more than a cosmetic problem. It can lead to air leakage and higher utility bills, and in our humid West Central Florida climate, air and water leaks around a window can lead to mold and warped frames.

Can you replace just the foggy glass and keep the frame?

Often, yes. If the frame, sashes and hardware are still in good shape, only the sealed glass unit has failed, so that's all we replace. You keep your existing frame, and there's no tearing out and refinishing around the window.

We treat double-pane windows first, before we recommend replacement. If the frame itself is damaged or the window can't be repaired safely, we'll tell you honestly and explain your options, including window glass replacement and full window replacement.

Which windows and glass types do you work on?

  • Single-hung and double-hung windows
  • Casement windows
  • Awning and jalousie windows
  • Sliding glass doors, with dog door insert options available on request
  • Double (thermal) pane glass, single pane glass and hurricane impact glass

Our mobile unit comes to your home, so the work is done on-site.

How long does it take?

It depends on the glass. Some glass, such as insulated or impact units, has to be ordered to size first. When we quote your job, we'll tell you what to expect for your windows.

How much does foggy glass replacement cost?

It depends on the size of the glass, whether it's standard insulated glass or impact glass, the type of window and how many windows need it. That's why we quote from the actual windows rather than publishing a price list. Photos are the fastest way to get an accurate number.

What photos should I send?

  • One close-up of the foggy glass
  • One photo of the whole window, inside or outside
  • A rough width and height, if you can measure it
  • How many windows are foggy

You can add up to five photos straight from your phone on our quote form.

Common questions

Can foggy glass be cleaned instead of replaced?

The moisture is inside the sealed unit, so it can't be wiped away from either side. Replacing the sealed glass unit fixes the actual cause, the failed seal.

Is it worth replacing the glass in an older window?

Often it is, when the frame and hardware are still sound. We'll look at the whole window and tell you honestly if a repair will hold up.

Can you replace foggy glass in a sliding glass door?

Yes. We replace glass in single pane, thermal pane and hurricane impact sliding doors.

Do you serve my area?

We serve all of Pinellas County, including Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Largo, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Seminole and Tarpon Springs, plus western Hillsborough. We don't cover downtown Tampa.

Rated 5 out of 5
Amazing service!!! Called the day before to confirm appointment, showed up exactly on time. Said repair would take 45 mins but ended up being just 30. Did an amazing job on a broken glass repair and gave insight on the process as well as aftercare. Highly recommend. Will definitely be my go-to for future work. Thank you so much, Arthur Sailer!!!

From the moment Warren walked in to our home we knew we had selected the right company for a glass repair. They ordered and installed the glass for our French doors in 2 weeks ahead of the estimate. Both Mark and Warren were absolutely perfect. Highly recommend this company!!!

Eric and Wade came out and fixed a window that wouldn’t lock - quickest repair ever! They were great. Very professional and cleaned up after themselves! Arthur Sailer responded to my request right away (even though their website said they were closed!), that meant a lot. And they came out and did the repair one day later! Highly recommend Arthur Sailer.

When I called to get an estimate with Arthur Sailer Windows, Warren was out quickly. His estimate was similar to another company in town. I chose AS because of all the high ratings online. It took 6-weeks to get our window glass in and installed, and Warren and Mark worked 45-minutes to do ALL the install work. They were incredibly fast & efficient. It's nice to see our clear window back again! (Photos: Before, during, after, with AS van in the distance)

Wade our technician was fantastic! The sliders were so hard to move and after his service expertise all I need to open them now is 2 fingers! I highly recommend this company and if you are lucky enough to get Wade you will not be disappointed

Having Arthur Sailer Window Repair come to work on my sliding glass doors was one of the best decisions I ever made. The cranky old sliders were barely operational now they glide like a butterfly without the sting of a bee. I have already scheduled them to come back and repair the rest of my ancient windows and make new screens. Recommend to anyone that wants old windows to operate like new. Thank you Arthur Sailer Windows!

I had called over 7 companies to repair a broken window with no luck. I left a message with this company. David the owner returned my call promptly. He was empathetic to the urgency of getting the window replaced. His employee Warren came out and did an awesome job. The job was completed in a timely manner, no mess was left behind and the window looks great. I highly recommend this company for a job well done! Thank you again

The Arthur Sailer Window team, Andy, David and Noah are great! Honest, experienced, efficient, reliable, return calls, arrive when scheduled and if will be later than planned call to notify. Their prices are completely reasonable. We have used this company for over 20 years and recommend them 10 on a scale of 10 !
