large door - condensation

[xAlex]

Hi All,

I have a large sliding patio door on the porch at the front of the house. It's got condensation, so looks a bit crap. Could you advise on the cheapest method to rectify?

thanks

Alex

Is it double glazed?Is the condensation in between the two sheets of glass?

...sorry - I'm obviously not an expert. Is the double-glazed unit separate to the frame and glass, or is it the glass also?

Yeah if there is water inbetween the two panels then it needs replacing.

The job's not too difficult though, just get in contact with a local window/door company.

Its the glass unit and its clipped via the beading

...thanks all. It was the expense of it that concerned me. Obviously nothing I can do myself though.

can be done yourself but probably hardly worth it for the installation cost.
the beads can be very awkward to get out unless you are confident and know what you are doing. there are a few different types.
