Condensation inside double glazing: what does it mean?

Condensation trapped between sealed panes usually indicates failure of the sealed glazing unit rather than normal room humidity on the inside surface.

What to do next

A sensible first check

Confirm whether moisture is between panes or on the room-facing surface
Check whether only one unit is affected
Record frame condition as well as glass condition
Consider whether the whole window or only the sealed unit needs attention

When should you act?

It is not usually an emergency, but failed units reduce clarity and can affect thermal performance.

This page is general guidance, not a diagnosis. If the issue involves immediate danger, active water near electrics, fire, gas, structural instability, unsafe working at height or another urgent safety risk, use an appropriately qualified professional or emergency service rather than relying on online advice.

Common questions

Do I need a whole new window?

Not always. In some systems the sealed glazing unit can be replaced while retaining a sound frame.

Is room condensation the same problem?

No. Moisture on the internal surface is usually related to humidity, temperature and ventilation rather than seal failure.
