Is there a reliable way of repairing a double pane window if the seal has broken?

stuartbrodsky | Posted in Energy Efficiency and Durability on

I have light gray spots appearing on the inside of the outer pane of a double pane sash window. They don’t look like drops of moisture. More like translucent round snowflakes. Each round spot is made up of concentric rings. Frankly, they look beautiful.

I moved to this condo three years ago. The windows are about 7 years old.

    Unfortunately, there is no reliable way to repair a failed IGU.

    Can you post a picture of what you are seeing in your glass?

    Thanks
