Sealed Units mistingup

by Chippey » Wed Apr 16, 2008 11:18 pm

Hi

Iam a retired tradesman several of my units are mistingup . I have checked the Forum and the only real solution is replace or drill an hole and fit a vent which requires specialist tools can anyone tell me where to buy the tools and any idea of the cost

Hi Chippey,

Despite the previous replies there is a method of restoration.

Go to crystalclearwindowworks.co.uk for more information.

I think what you're talking about is a de-fogging valve? I can't see how they can be cleaned/repaired or whatever they do to them. I've been a glazier for over 20 years and can't see how it can work when they don't re-seal the unit (this is the common cause of the break down), they don't remove the units so the initial cause will always be there.
