Anaheim Elite Windows provides professional glass repair & insulated glass units in Anaheim, CA for residential and commercial properties across Orange County. Foggy glass means the edge seal on your insulated glass unit has failed and the desiccant inside is saturated. Nobody can drill it, drain it, and make it permanently right, whatever the internet says, but you also do not need a whole new window: the sealed glass package comes out and a new one goes in while the frame, the sash and the hardware stay exactly where they are. Here is what an insulated glass unit actually is. Two or three lites of glass are held apart by a spacer around the perimeter, the cavity is filled with argon or krypton, and the whole edge is sealed, usually in two stages, with a desiccant inside the spacer to absorb the small amount of moisture left at manufacture. When that seal breaks down, outside air and water vapour cycle in and out with every temperature swing. The desiccant fills up. After that, every warm afternoon drives moisture into the cavity and every cool night condenses it on the inside faces, and you get the haze, the streaking and the permanent mineral etching that eventually will not clean off even after the unit is replaced. The gas fill is long gone by then too, so the window's thermal performance has quietly dropped back towards single glazing. So we fabricate a replacement unit to your measured sightline, with the correct overall thickness, the correct spacer depth, and the low-E coating oriented to the right surface, because a coating on the wrong face performs completely differently. We match tempered where tempered was there before, which is a code requirement and not a preference, and we match laminated, obscure, patterned and wired glass to whatever is in the rest of the elevation. Single-pane glass in older wood, steel and aluminum sashes is straightforward too, as is glazing bead, setting block and glazing tape replacement as part of the reglaze. Breakage is the other half of this page. We board up first and replace properly once the custom lite is fabricated, and we do the same on storefronts, entrance doors and commercial tempered door lites. On commercial glass the lead time on a custom tempered or laminated lite is real, so the board-up is not us stalling, it is the only way to secure the opening while the glass is being made. The economics are the reason this page exists. An IGU swap is a fraction of the cost of a new window when the frame, the sash and the hardware are still good, and on a house with three or four fogged units out of eighteen, that is the difference between a manageable repair and a project. Any company that responds to two failed seals by quoting a whole-house replacement is not answering the question you asked. Where we will tell you to replace the window instead: when the sash is warped, when the balances or rollers are shot, when the frame is out of square, or when the unit is an old single-pane aluminum slider. Then new glass in a bad frame is throwing good money after bad.
With 20+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — soft-coat low-E glass coatings, argon-filled insulated glass units, warm-edge spacer systems, vinyl, fiberglass and clad-wood frames, laminated safety glass, NFRC-labeled U-factor and SHGC ratings — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Anaheim and nearby communities including Fullerton, Orange, Santa Ana, Garden Grove.

Materials, equipment and how we do glass repair & insulated glass units
The difference between glass repair & insulated glass units that lasts and glass repair & insulated glass units that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with soft-coat low-E glass coatings, argon-filled insulated glass units, warm-edge spacer systems, vinyl, fiberglass and clad-wood frames, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Anaheim job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 20+ years of window work in Orange County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
