Hi there,

Would anyone know why I'm getting some condensation between the Sliding Door glass? It has never happened before, started noticing it this past winter and it's ongoing.

Thank you

Air seal between the panes is shot, can't be fixed, glass needs to be replaced.

Ditto.

Other than not looking good it has no other issues like heat loss. No need to replace the glass until you are tired of how it looks.

That depends on who makes them and what their falure rate is. Some companies made so many windows that failed that they went out of business.

Phase 1 Heathwood homes pretty much all had defective windows installed from a company that went out of business. We had about 15 windows replaced within 5 years of moving in (brand new build), and are getting another 12 replaced this year...good times

You get used to it after a while. I don’t notice my ghetto condensation anymore.
