I just went to the annual Home Show here in Pittsburgh, where I was happy to see that Pella still makes their “Designer” line of windows with removable interior panes. Because I know that fogging is a very common problem with conventional insulated glass, I won’t use this forum to trash my decade-old windows by name. My question is for people who have installed Pella Designer units. I am drawn to them because they CAN’T fog (permanently), but I’m concerned that in a situation like mine (full sun for most of the day in a climate with temperature extremes), the relatively weak seal between the panes will still allow fogging–just not the sort that makes you feel you’ve wasted your money. Anyone have any experience with how these units resist developing condensation between the panes? At this point, I can’t imagine ever wanting to invest in conventional insulated glass again, but I don’t want a situation where I’ll have a different problem: temporary fogging. Thanks for any help.
