I've got these double-pane windows in my living room, and lately they've gotten all foggy inside. It's like looking through a blurry camera lens, you know? Anyway, I'm wondering if there's some kind of DIY fix or if I'm stuck shelling out cash for replacements. Anyone dealt with this before? Curious what you'd do if you were in my shoes...
Had the same issue a couple years back. Honestly, DIY fixes for fogged double-pane windows are usually temporary at best. You can drill tiny holes to vent moisture or even try sealing the edges again, but from experience, it doesn't last long. The insulating gas between the panes is already compromised, so even if you clear the fog temporarily, your window's efficiency is shot.
If you're tight on cash and just want a clearer view for now, sure, give the DIY route a shot—there's plenty of YouTube vids showing how. But realistically, you're probably looking at replacements down the line. I'd suggest pricing out replacement glass inserts instead of whole new windows. It's cheaper, quicker, and you won't have to mess with the frames or trim. Did that myself and haven't had issues since.
