Hi all,
My double glazed windows is covered in condensation inside. Does anyone know of a way of getting rid of it without replacing the window? My friend in England says there's a way in which an expert drills a small hole and injects a chemical, but I don't know if anyone does it in Hong Kong

If you can take them apart, you can something absorbent like a silica gel pack. If you can't take them apart, I don't know.

Thanks for the quick reply! So you take them part, and then put a silica gel pack in between and leave it there forever? I don't think I can take them apart (not without a professional for sure) as I think they were made and brought in together as two. I asked my original contractor and he says you have to replace the whole thing, but I'm sure there's a better way.

Well, if you can make it really airtight, the gel pack should at least work for a long time. I have also seen people use those brown pellets you put in plant pots, since they absorb moisture.
My mother would use masking tape to line the inner edges (where the parts meet). She would keep going until it was hard to put the parts together. This would create an almost airtight seal.
Most modern windows are sealed instead, so should not have this problem. If it is still happening, I would agree with the contractor. Change it.

Is your double glazing still under guarantee, if so you could get the company to solve it, we had the same problem with two conservatories we had built in England, they had to remove the glass and re-seal it in the factory. The space between the glazing should be a vacuum, once that is gone you can't do much about it.

Thanks Susie1 for the reply. Much appreciated. No, our double glazing isn't under guarantee, we've had the window for 6 years+ and no problems at all until this year.
