Fog Free Window

How is this saving the environment, can't you RECYCLE the glass? Besides it's not like there's mercury or lead in the window so even if you threw it away it wouldn't cause any real harm.

Environmentally speaking, it is probably better to replace the window with another dual-pane because a GOOD double pane window saves energy by providing better insulation. A "fogged" window no longer has this advantage as the seal is broken (hence the ability for moisture to get in)

i agree about commercial customers not being happy about the foggy window. The case I am aware of took 2 weeks to clear, the customer was domestic and she was somewhat unhappy with the post treatment appearance but once it clear she was delighted.

Do you deal with toughened glass? This is mandatory for a lot of windows in the UK.

Oh man I almost thought that I had found the perfect solution to my window problem. I don't have a problem with fog on my windows, but I do have a problem with FROGS on my windows. Do you possibly have a product that can help with that?

8 feet by 10 INCHES? looks taller then 10 inches

if the unit is low e how good does this work?

[nuteon1]

now that you cleaned the inside of the unit how are you going to reseal the unit after the pib or the silicone that broke down to cause this problem with this unit you would not need a vent since you already have seal failer

I'm not knocking evolution, I just don't think this is it. you CAN NOT do this to any toughened IG unit, that unit in your video in the UK would have to be toughened by law.

No customer that I know of would want to wait up to 3 months before the misting is gone.

The industry is evolving and you can replace old IG units with a low 'e' replacement, reducing heat loss for the customer.

Love to see you do that with Toughened glass mate. You make out your being environmentally friendly, how much chemical do you use and throw away? I could have changed that glass probably cheaper than you spending half a day doing that gimmicky shit.....Oh by the by, your setting up a convection current between the two panes of glass thus decreasing its thermal effiency

Industry is evolving "mate".  By the way this job was two hours and that includes slowing down to film.

@FogLifterWindow LOL never mind crunchie pants - he is from the UK so he will use the phrase "mate". No offence is implied.

This is something new to the UK. We would normally replace the unit which of course is more expensive to the customer. You have demonstrated a large window which is going to a longer job. You are threatening crunchie's business and he won't see the waste generated in the manufacture, deposal, transport and so on involved with replacement.

[FogLifterWindow]

Also, I charge well less than half the price to create the conditions where this window will never need to be replaced again. Sounds like you are a glazier. I am certain you have replaced many IGs at full retail, in the same location; is that a value proposition for the client? As far as chemical goes: One pint biodegradable solution mixed with DI water. Your 100% right about the convection. You do lose your thermal efficiency to a degree, but a perfect world only exists in fairy tales

Great video. Very informative.

Nice professional explanation of how moisture removal is done. Great job.
