We carry out misted glass unit replacement in Abergele and across the LL22 area. If a roof lantern pane looks cloudy or wet between the two layers of glass, the sealed unit has failed and moisture has got inside.
What you might be seeing
- Fog, droplets or white bloom between the panes
- One pane looks hazier than the others
- Misting that comes and goes with the weather
Common causes we find
Water sitting on the edge
If the unit's edge sits in water because the eaves don't drain, the seal fails sooner.
Movement and age
Thermal movement and age wear the seal; units at the bottom of the lantern often go first.
Roof lanterns in Abergele
Wind-driven rain is the real test of a roof lantern, and the wetter west sees plenty of it. Leaks that appear only in a storm from one direction usually point to the cappings or eaves on that face — a useful clue when you send us photos.
We cover Abergele as part of Clwyd, about 29 miles from Wrexham.
Close by, we also cover Rhyl (4 miles), Colwyn Bay (6 miles), Prestatyn (8 miles).
