I live in a condo, and I'm just noticing condensation between the panes in = a 7yr old Velux skylight that was installed when the roof was replaced. Ac= tually, there is a 2nd skylight installed at the same time, and I believe I= 'm also noticing a slight amount of condensation between the the panes on t= hat one as well, but not as noticeable on that one.=20
If I don't care about the fogged appearance, and if I don't care about the = loss in energy efficiency, is it okay to leave them be? These are the kin= d of skylights that doesn't open or close, and I'd rather not get involved = with replacing whole skylights on the roof, unless the skylights were actua= lly leaking water (since there's always the chance that a water leak could = happen as a result of installing in a new skylight, since a new installatio= n would disturb the existing roof, etc.) Also, I live in a condo, so I wou= ld have to get the association involved if I wanted to have the skylight re= placed, and again, I'm not thrilled about having to disturb something on th= e roof as long as it is only just a condensation issue. (My philosophy is = don't disturb the existing roof unless absolutely necessary) Is it okay ju= st to leave them be, for now?=20
Thanks,
