... the war of FOG

I intend to sharing most all of the public domain: information: trade secrets and processes for defogging windows so you can make informed decisions.

Most all of the processes and methods are now in the public domain and there remain a number of companies still trying to profit from the work originally done by Crystal Clear Window Works Canada.

At one point in time Crystal Clear Window Works Canada was the only company who had secured and developed IP rights, trade secrets and designs for the processes and methods of removing moisture from foggy windows. When the process is done properly the system works very effectively - when done by cowboys ... it is little more than a scam.


If you are considering purchasing a dealership, franchise, business system, license, country license or purchase defogging products or training for moisture removal from failed thermal pane windows we can help with due diligence and research.

You should read this site carefully and proceed with caution as there are many scam artists and fraudsters to watch out for and information that you should understand.

Faulty product - delamination, wrong glue and wrong plastic which clouded and turn yellow with no uv inhibitor



The Window Sieve

Not just a little piece of plastic, we use triple UV inhibitor and custom extruded plastic with our own private formulea to assure and provide you with years of service for your clients.   The last thing you want is customers coming back in a year and complaining that their Sieves has fallen off worst it has turned yellow and brittle.

Our Adhesive is UV protected and the only true optically clear adhesive in the market.   The same product used in the aerospace industry to layer protective shields on monitors and glass cockpits in fighter jets and the space shuttle.

Each Sieves is die cut, laminated and assembled of 5 different layers. Being only 1/16" high it is used extensively where clearance is a issue and also where large amounts of air flow is required such patio doors or large window panes.

The Window Valve
Manufactured of the same high quality products as our Sieve but has the added protection of a hood.  


... THESE CLAIMS BY THIS VENDOR ARE SIMPLY UNTRUE ...  PICTURES ARE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS.

THIS DEFOG SUPPLIES PRODUCT IS SUBSTANDARD AS IT SEPARATES, YELLOWS AND BECOMES BRITTLE AND FALLS OFF THE WINDOW - THOUSANDS OF THIS SUPPLIERS PRODUCT WAS REPLACED. . 

THE PRODUCT IS MADE OF SIMPLE OFF THE SHELF 3M SHEET PLASTIC AND 3 M ADHESIVES AND THE MESH SCREEN IS A PLASTIC SCREEN MATERIAL ALSO AVAILABLE OFF THE SHELF - WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO DIRECT YOU TO THE PRODUCT SUPPLIERS.


What kind of drill bit do I use to fix foggy windows


The best way to drill in hole in glass is to use a 4mm diamond drum head or burr bit.

Use a battery operated dremel like tool, use a water based lubricant to cool the bit. start the bit on its edge and drill a small cresent in the glass. The use the groove to steady the drill bit and use plenty of water to drill through. The best bits/burs are purchased online from a vendor in Hong Kong on ebay.

Examples of the products that the cowboys put over a hole that they drilled

There are no patents, patents pending or any protections any longer in the United Kingdom

To my knowledge there are no valid United Kingdom patents or protections for CCWW UK and the get fog out business of repairing double glazed windows - there are few if any trade secrets remaining either.

If you want to understand who has rights and who does not ... just ask

The bottom line is that there are no valid agreements between CCWW UK and CCWW Canada. The agreements have been terminated and there are NO surviving rights for the United Kingdom or European Union

Don't be fooled by claims of a one way valve for Defogging

Simply put a one way valve for the removal of moisture from between thermal pane windows is a worst an ignorant claim and at best flagrant lie.

If a one way valve is installed it must dissipate water vapor, therefore by definition the valve should close on the cooling cycle of the air and recreate the same conditions that drew water into the cavity.

Canada has the only patent for moisture removal of thermal pane windows

Stephen Collins is the holder of several Canadian patents of moisture removal from thermal pane windows. Many of us doubted the validity of the patents and it appears while the Canadian patent office did issue patents we don't believe that an adequate prior art search was conducted. We have found the repair process being well documenting in business journals and international patents predating the Collins patents by years.

Navigating through the fog of the window defogging business

This GET THE FOG OUT blog will be used to help homeowners and commercial businesses understand the process and to understand who does and does not have the rights, technical ability and business acumen for the removal of moisture for failed thermal pane windows.

We also intend to sharing  all the public domain information and processes for defogging windows.

There no longer any trade secrets or patents that have any validity for the defogging process. Through this blog will will share all the secrets, formulas, suppliers, designs of the business.
