Condensation between double glazed panes

[WWilts]

New build in progress.

Moisture between panes condensing on outer pane.

 

Defect or just normal?

If between glass panes, glass unit has failed. Replacement glass unit required.

Need to check if it is really between panes or just on the external surface of outer pane

If it is external, it’s doing the job it’s supposed to.

It’s fairly obvious where the condensation is formed, just wipe it. If it doesn’t come off, on the inside.

My windows (unoccupied new build) have loads of condensation on the outside every morning, presume this will go when it is heated?

The links to the pictures don't work for me.

I would hope not. Mine only cleared when the sun came up or the wind started to blow. If it clears when the house is heated, the glazing isn't keeping the heat in enough.

Our north facing windows have almost permanent condensation on the outside at this time of year.  Indeed it's ice on the outside of them at the moment.  As above it shows they are working and not letting enough heat through to melt that ice.
