New windows installed in the summer has condensation between the two panes of glass. That's all the windows on thr front of the house.

Is this fixable?

Oh no. If it's between panes then get back to the supplier, who should replace under warranty.

If it was inside then I'd suggest ventilation issues with your house but this is definitely a warranty job.

Complain to supplier immediately .

I think that means the seals have failed. Get the installers back

Is it definitely between the 2 panes of glass and not on the outside panel? We had windows installed in June and thought the same. Turns out if it's on the outside pane, it means your windows are doing a good job of insulating your house. It usually happens when the air outside is warm/humid and your glass is cool, creating condensation or fog on your window. If it's definitely on the inside then give them a call to rectify!

Ours were the same as @Keepthepeace82 and gave us an initial panic! If it's not that you need to get them to fix it.

@Keepthepeace82 Ah! Could be. Hopefully it will be a cold night and I can check tomorrow.

As it's ALL the windows he said it could be a problem with the 'sealant chemical' used and he will replace them ( let's hope he turns up).

Thanks for all the replies.
