Why Is My Sliding Door Glass Foggy Between the Panes?

The seal between the panes has failed and moist air got in. Cleaning won't fix it; the glass unit gets replaced.

The short answer

Insulated glass has two panes with a sealed gap between them. Florida heat and sun break that seal down over time, moist air gets in, and you see fog or streaks you can't wipe off.

The fix is a new insulated glass unit in your existing frame. Learn more on our glass replacement page.

What it costs: $99–$375 per panel for standard repairs

On a standard residential sliding glass door, our repairs run $99–$375 per panel depending on the parts and labor involved. The estimate is free and you get the price before any work starts.

Impact doors need an on-site estimate

Impact-rated (hurricane) sliding doors are a different job. The panels are much heavier because of the laminated glass, the rollers and tracks are often brand-specific, and the frames are built to strict Florida code. Two impact doors that look the same can need very different parts and labor.

That's why we don't quote impact doors over the phone. We come out, look at the door, check the brand, the panel weight, the track and the rollers, and then give you an exact price. The on-site estimate is free.
