Hi everyone,
regardless of the U-value of the windows, how do you see the pros and cons of gas filling in windows? My general contractor tells me horror stories about gas filling: cloudy or milky appearance and very expensive.
Is there any truth to that?

Hmm, I don’t have any issues with that... but maybe it’s because the shutters are always closed at night...

It happens when it has been warm during the day and then cools down significantly in the evening (making everything in the garden damp) – not every day.
It usually starts around 6-7 pm (18-19 hours) – sometimes also in the morning when it’s foggy.

As I said, everything is already settled on our end...

Especially in autumn (so right now) and in spring, the windows fog up EXTREMELY on the outside.
Did you install plastic or aluminum windows ...?

From motorsports, I know about anti-fog film; no idea if that might be something useful...

In my opinion, no.

Only the application method from Mycraft helps here – by protecting the outer pane of glass.
