😯 I noticed these little beads inside the glass door, and I was very surprised when I found out what they were.

It all started some time ago. Strange little beads began to appear between the panes of our patio door. At first, there were only a few, but over time, they became more and more numerous.

Worried, I didn’t understand what they were. I panicked and called my husband, who was on a business trip at the time. He asked me to send him photos to see what it was. I sent them to him, but then he stopped answering my calls, which really made me anxious.

Fortunately, he called me back later and explained what it was. I was surprised. That’s why I’m sharing this story with you, so you’ll be informed if it ever happens to you.

The rest of my story is in the article in the first comment 👇👇👇.

When he finally called me back, he calmly explained what was going on.

“Don’t worry,” he told me, “what you’re seeing are desiccant beads.

When double glazing is made, an air space is left between the two panes, and to prevent condensation from forming, this space is surrounded by a frame filled with these small absorbent beads.”

He added, “This desiccant is there to capture moisture.

But if you see it now, it means there has been a sealing failure or a tiny crack in the frame, and the beads have escaped.”

I couldn’t believe it! I had imagined the worst scenarios, when it was simply an insulation issue.

He advised me to have the glass checked by a professional, because even though it’s not dangerous, it means the glazing has lost its thermal efficiency.
