Contrary to what most people believe, it is not always the type or quality of a window that determines whether or not window condensation will occur. The window installation process, pre-existing structural factors and the weather play a significant role.

During certain times of the year or when the weather outside is particularly humid, you may notice condensation forming on your windows. When warm air in your home comes in contact with cold window panes, it starts to cool, releasing moisture as it does so. This results in condensation on the glass. One way to minimize condensation on your windows is by controlling the humidity levels within your home. If your windows were installed correctly by trained professionals, this should take care of the condensation problem.

If you find controlling the humidity levels doesn’t minimize condensation, you may want to consider replacement windows for your home.

Window Condensation Can Cause Structural Problems

Excessive and continued window condensation can cause paint to peel or wallpaper around the window to pull away from the wall. The wood around your windows can warp, crack and rot with the moisture. This can seriously damage the structural integrity of your home.

Window Condensation Can Cause Health Problems

In addition to problems with your home’s structure, your family’s health may also be at risk if window condensation is neglected. Excessive condensation can encourage the growth of mold and mildew. This can lead to a host of health problems, especially in individuals who are sensitive to mold or have allergies, breathing difficulties and respiratory disorders such as asthma.
