How Do You Remove Moisture From Double-Pane Windows?
Double-panes are a common feature used to increase the energy efficiency of windows. In double panes, two panes are separated by a sealed pocket of inert gas. This gas serves as an insulator, slowing the rate at which heat can enter or leave through the window, and helping keep the house cool in summer and warm in winter. As double-pane windows age, however, small leaks can develop in the seal. These leaks can let in moisture, which can form condensation when the temperature drops. Remove the window from the casement, and place it on a soft tablecloth or other soft surface. Carefully press a utility knife through the sealant directly next to one of the window panes. This will make a hole in the sealant, allowing you to cut through and separate the panes. Pull the knife out. Press a hacksaw blade into the slit you just cut with the knife. Gently saw back and forth to cut through the sealant all the way around the window. Remove the pane, and place it on the tablecloth. Scrape excess sea
