Foggy Glass Repair in Scarborough
Scarborough's post-war bungalows in Birch Cliff and Guildwood, 1970s and 80s side-splits across Bendale, and high-rise clusters in Malvern represent decades of sealed glass units reaching end of life at the same time. Many Scarborough homeowners are quoted full window replacement when all they need is a new glass unit. LuminaSky replaces just the sealed IGU, keeping your existing frames, trim, and brick mould intact, at a fraction of the cost.
How Sealed Glass Unit Failure Works
A sealed glass unit (the industry calls it an IGU, insulated glass unit) is two or three panes of glass separated by a spacer bar and sealed at the perimeter. The space between is filled with argon or krypton gas and desiccant beads that absorb moisture.
When that seal breaks down: argon gas escapes, outside air seeps in bringing moisture, and the desiccant saturates. Once saturated, condensation forms between the panes: the familiar 'foggy window' look. From that point, the fog will never clear on its own.
The frame, sash, and hardware are usually still fine. Only the sealed glass unit needs replacing. That's why we can restore a foggy window for 60–80% less than a full window replacement.
Signs Your Scarborough Window Seal Has Failed
Persistent fog or haze between the panes that never clears
Mineral streaks or 'rain marks' etched onto the inside surface
Visible moisture droplets between the glass
Condensation returns within hours of wiping the outside dry
The window feels colder to the touch in winter than nearby windows
