If they are double paned windows and there is mist on the inside between the 2 pieces of glass then you have a bad seal and they should be replaced. If there is condensation on the inside or the outside then there is a significant difference in the temperature from the outside of the home to the inside. It works just like a soda can when you take it out of the frige in a warm day. It is normal.

∙ 14y agoYou will need to remove the entire glass dual-pane section and take it to a professional window glazier. If you can do this feat you will save on two service calls and the labor to remove the misted windows. Otherwise, call a local window manufacturer with a service department and make arrangements for them to come out and remove/repair/re-install the dual pane panel. This cannot be done on-sight, but back at the service department of the glazier. At the shop, they will remove the gasket around the inside edges of the window frame, including the two panes of glass. The gasket holds the two panes in place in the window frame. They will then install a new gasket and your now cleaned old panes with some vacuum equipment-which should work and insulate as new. The cause of the misting is a leak in the seal in this gasket, which has allowed moisture borne in air to enter between the panes and condense on them. Unfortunately, that condensation doesn't completely evaporate away in the sunlight. Before going to this trouble and expense, remember that many advances have been made in window/heat loss/insulation technologies in the past ten years. You might be wise to query the window vendor/repair company about the cost of installing a whole new window with triple pane, gas filled, low E glass panes. Compare that cost and estimated efficiencies of much lower 'heat loss' to the cost to repair with that estimated heat loss. Is there a better pay back to step up in quality. You might be surprised!

Can double glazed windows explode?
I can tell you only my experience. I was in a school and they had a faulty double glazed window I went up to it and pressed lightly on it. Next thing I know I hear a loud bang and then I had a chunk of glass in my arm, a small bit in my eyelid and little tears and shreds over my arms. So from that experience I would say yes they could or they become deceptively weak so if you got bad windows get em replaced and save a hospital trip. All the best Genuinely unlucky accident man
Why use double glazing?
Double glazing helps improve energy efficiency in the home as it is has superior heat insulator properties to a single pane window.
