Double glazing is a common glass design that consists of two or more panes of glass sandwiched between aluminum spacers. Molecular sieves are used for the aluminum gaskets, and sealants are used for the foreign aids. If one of these two conditions is not done well, or if there is a large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, moisture will easily appear and it will not be easy to wipe clean. So how can this situation be handled?
What to do if there is fog in the middle of the double glazing
1. Take down the window, put the glass flat on the ground, use a wallpaper knife to separate the glass along the upper glass, and put it aside. Then use a wallpaper knife to pull off the adhesive strip on the lower glass, and then clean the adhesive strip with a knife.
2. Clean the backs of the two pieces of glass with a cloth or other items, and then lay them flat on the ground or workbench with a cloth or other items.
3. On a piece of glass that has been wiped clean, use double-sided tape to stick it along the four sides of the glass to achieve a sealing effect. Don’t leave any gaps, then buckle the other glass plate on the glass plate with double-sided tape, and press it gently along the four edges of the glass to prevent water from entering again and generating water vapor.
4. Then put the pressed glass on the plastic steel door and window, and smash the bead with a small hammer. It is more convenient to find a professional to operate.
Is the fog in the middle of the double-glazing a quality problem?
Might be a quality issue.
The double-glazed windows were not installed properly, or quality problems caused the sealant to crack, allowing water vapor to enter the double-glazed windows. As the temperature rises, the water vapor evaporates, and when it comes into contact with the double-glazed window, it turns into droplets. Once this happens, the insulating glass will fail and its thermal insulation performance will be greatly reduced, so the glass will need to be reinstalled. Best to find a professional builder.
In addition, if the water mist appears for a long time, the double-layer glass may be broken, and it is recommended to replace the new insulating glass directly. If the installation time is not long, you can ask a professional to disassemble the glass, then clean the glass with an appropriate amount of dilute hydrofluoric acid, and then perform hollow processing again. If the water vapor phenomenon is caused by temperature difference, it is recommended to open the windows for ventilation, and close the windows after reducing the temperature difference until the water vapor on the glass dissipates.
How to wipe double glass
1. Squeegee and water. Because the scraper can be close to the glass to scrape off very fine dust.
2. Sponge block. You can use a sponge block to scrub the glass. You can wipe the glass without damaging it and control the amount of water. Scrub again with detergent, then use an absorbent cloth to soak up the detergent before use. Wipe with a dry cloth to brighten.
3. Old newspapers. Newspaper is one of our more common methods. There is residual oil on the printing surface, it can be used to wipe the stains and dust on the glass very effectively. Use newspaper folded into small pieces to wipe, then wipe the rear glass window will be particularly bright.
4. There is no frame, only glass, such as a bay window, you can use a water sprayer and a glass scraper. Mix water with glass cleaner and spray it on the glass. Use a scraper to scrape the stain off the glass.
