WINDOW REPLACEMENT

What Is Condensation?
Is your glass “sweating” – is water beading or ice forming on the inside surface of your windows and skylights?  Don’t be too quick to blame the windows! There’s a good chance that what you are seeing is condensation, a sign that there is excess humidity in your home. Humidity – water vapor mixed with air – is drawn to the coolest surfaces, such as your window. Cool air cannot hold as much moisture as warm air, so windows and doors often collect this moisture and make it visible. A surface that is cooler than room temperature is more likely to show condensation.

​What Causes Condensation?
Indoor moisture is caused by a variety of factors, including cooking, showering, running dishwashers, storing firewood, pets, fish tanks, plants, clothes dryers that are not vented properly, even breathing. Your new windows or skylights are most likely showing condensation more than your old ones because they are more airtight – less air is entering your home from the outside. The air leaking from older windows/skylights evaporated the moisture before it could collect.

While some humidity is necessary for health and comfort, chronic and excessive condensation should be tipping you off to take some action before serious, costly damage, such as decay, mold, paint problems, and even major structural damage occur. 

What about condensation in between the panes of glass? This may indicate a seal failure, and you should contact your Window dealer, as this is covered by your warranty.
​
Why is condensation forming at the bottom of the window/skylight? Each insulated unit is a sealed atmosphere, and the air in this atmosphere becomes layered, just as in any closed space. Warm air rises, and since humidity is attracted to cooler air, condensation will often show near the bottom of the glass.
