Improving glass in aluminium door

Frith

I don't really want to replace the whole door yet so is there any way I can reduce the mark/condensation between the 2 panes in the left sliding door?

Well, you can probably replace just the glass unit

I did ask around and no one wanted to do it as it's aluminium. (?)

I had a unit changed in aluminium doors recently so they are out there. Search for local double glazing repair companies.

I think that's because aluminium beading is very hard to remove without damaging it. They all want easy jobs. Old aluminium doors and windows are PITA.

It can be the case with PVC beading too, but at least you can brake it if compatible replacement is available.

Just be careful they keep the glass unit whole if they remove it....if you release that ghost inside you'll never get rid of it!

Probably because it's shuffel glazed, where do you live? I might be able to point you in the right direction.

I don't think there's any practical way to deal with the issue other than replacing the double glazed unit. That means either replacing it in the existing frame or replacing the whole door, so if you can't find anyone willing to replace the unit then a new door will be the only option left to you.
