Window glazing refers to the glass pane(s) installed in a window frame, as well as the compound used to seal glass into that frame. In modern homes, it typically means double- or triple-pane insulated glass units.

In practice

You'd see this when a homeowner in Felida, WA notices perpetually foggy living room windows.

Why it matters

Clark County homes built in the 1970s–1990s often have original windows with failed glazing.

Common questions
What does fog or condensation inside my window mean?+

The sealed glazing unit has failed — the insulating value drops significantly and the glass unit needs replacing.

Can I re-glaze an old window instead of replacing it?+

If the wood sash is in good condition, yes — at a fraction of replacement cost. But it won't improve energy efficiency.
