We carry out misted glass unit replacement in Abergavenny and across the NP7 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
- Misting that comes and goes with the weather
- Water marks or tide lines inside the unit
Why it happens
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 Abergavenny
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
