Hi, I've got aluminum sliding windows, one of them is frosting up in between
the two panes of glass. Can these be repaired.Isn't there supposed to be
some sort of gas in between them? If they can be repaired where would I
look, a glass shop, hardware store or what? Thanks

Gary:

My understanding is you have to replace the glass. I have not
heard of anyway to reseal a window. Once the seal is gone it is gone.

Unknown is correct. You don't repair them. You replace the double pane
glass unit.

The glass unit is removed by removing the retaining clips and breaking the
seal on the exterior.

Most cities of any size have a glass company that can make you a new one in
about a day. If the problem is with the lower removable sash, you can just
take the whole thing in to them to measure and replace. I think I would
wait till Spring.

Is it likely to be cheaper to get new glass put in a failed Andersen
window (out of warranty) than to replace the unit? Would it be better to
get a new unit?
