When moisture gets trapped in between the glass panes it can cause misted double glazing.

This creates an airtight seal that keeps warm air inside and cold air outside and allows you to keep the temperature in your home comfortable.
The seal may fail over time, and moisture can build up between the panes of glass and cause them to become misty. This occurs because the sun's heat causes the space between the window panes, causing the water to evaporate.
