- That makes sense, but does leaving the foggy panes in place ever cause long-term issues with the frames or sills?
- I get the cost factor, just wondering if waiting too long could end up making repairs pricier down the road.
- Anyone ever tried those defogging services, or is that just a temporary fix?
Yeah, I’ve wondered about that too. I left a couple foggy panes alone for a year or so, and it didn’t seem to mess with the frames much, but I live in a pretty dry area. If there’s moisture trapped in there all the time, though, I could see it eventually causing wood rot or even mold if the seals are really shot. As for those defogging services—tried one once. It cleared up the glass for maybe six months, then the haze crept back. Felt like putting a band-aid on a bigger problem, honestly. Still cheaper than full replacement upfront, but maybe not long-term?
