Condensation is double glazed doors

Nathaniel_Essex

Hi all

I have sliding doors in the kitchen leading to the garden. There is a lot of water marks which really get on my nerves. Since I have moved in, I have not seen a situation where there is water in the glass so whatever caused it is unlikely to cause it again.

What I wanted to know is if there was a fix? I wanted it replaced but as it's on a wooden base, no one I have asked so far is confident of being able to put it back. I saw a video some time ago with someone drilling a small whole and spraying a solution to clear it.

Doesn't have to be this but can someone recommend a solution?

the DG unit will need replacing. You cannot drill a hole into the glass it will/should be toughened (unlikely to be laminated). Drilling holes into DG units to clear condensation is snake oil it doesn't get rid of the water staining. A joiner who advertises window installation could probably do it, but you may need to source replacement DG units from a glazing company (not a DG installation company).

If they are wooden doors then you'll want a carpenter to fix it. As above, it will need a new unit.
