Glazing can have a significant effect on the energy efficiency of your home. This is especially important in older double-glazed windows.

Broken Glass
Cracked glass isn't just unsightly, it can also let valuable heat and sunlight escape your home. Fortunately, it's often possible to fix a broken window pane without the need for full replacement.
Put on safety goggles and gloves. Also, you should put a piece of tape with an "X" shape on the glass that you plan to remove (duct or painter's tape works well). This will stop any broken pieces from falling as you work, which can protect you from serious injury.
Cover a small crack on your window glass with tape to keep water, insects and wind out. One strip of tape should be enough to cover any cracks that are superficial, but if you're worried about the weather becoming worse before you can replace your window, use a heavier-duty plastic cover, such as a tarp or a trash bag, to hold the glass in place until you find a permanent solution.
For cracks that aren't quite as shallow try using a tough adhesive that is specifically designed for windows, like Loctite Super Glue Glass. This high-tech adhesive is formulated to bond to glass, and it dries crystal clear to give an ideal finish. Apply it to the cracks in the glass, and let it dry completely before applying another layer.
Stress cracks are another common issue that can affect your glass window. They're usually caused by significant changes in temperature, and can spread quickly across the entire glass window if it's not repaired. To prevent stress cracks make a small arc with glass cutters close to the crack. This will stop the crack from spreading and slow it down for some days.
Measure the frame of the broken window to determine the size of the new pane. It should be slightly larger than the opening to allow for expansion and contraction and also to account for any imperfections on the frame or on the glass. Once you've cut the glass to size apply glaziers' compounds around the edges of the frame and fitters the glass. Once the compound has dried, paint it to match the frame.
Double Glazed Windows Condensation Inside
The appearance of condensation on the interior of double glazed windows usually indicates that the seal has been damaged somewhere along the window unit. This is a serious problem and could mean that heat is being lost from your home through the window.
Double glazing has been designed to block heat transfer between two panes of glass by sandwiching a layer of air or vacuum between them. This creates a secure seal that prevents warm air from venting. But, if the glass is cold or colder than the frame, condensation will accumulate on it and damage the window. If you have condensation on your double glazed window and you cannot resolve it by opening the windows with extractor fans, using dehumidifiers, or by trickle venting, then you may require the help of a professional.
Condensation on the exterior of double-glazed windows is not common however it can happen when the seal has started to weaken between the glass and the frame. It's more frequent during winter, when the temperature is lower. This makes it easier for condensation to form.

The issue with this is that once the desiccant becomes saturated it begins to break down, and eventually moisture can start to enter the gap between the glass units. This can cause water and condensation to build up in the gap, which is difficult to remove.
Most reputable window companies provide a guarantee and will replace the glass and unit of a window in the event that it's damaged due to condensation.
