Unsealed DG mists because the inner space is exposed to the same water

My externally glazed units has one that is now misting up.

Is water running into the frame or something?


And draining out through the external drainage slots put there on

And you do now...

Similar vents also exist (in mine, YMMV) to drain the rebates
where the dble glazed units sit, which would rather blow your
bizarre if imaginative "theory" of internal vapour levels bring
responsible for misted units... ;-)
