Stop Indoor Window Condensation

window_condensation.1Are your windows getting foggy during the winter? Have the kids been making pictures in the condensation on your patio door? Humidity indoors is a common in most homes, happening when the invisible water vapor has contact with a cooler surface and condenses into drops of liquid on that surface.

Many people believe the window or glass door is to blame, but that is not the case. When moisture cannot get to the outside, it forms a visible presence on the cooler glass surface that is preventing its escape.

While every home has humidity, if yours has excess humidity then the condensation can cause damage, from dripping off windows to cause staining on woodwork to bigger damage like peeling wallpaper, rotting wood and mold.

The best way to prevent condensation in your home is to reduce the amount of humidity that is present.  Follow these 4 simple tips:

  1. Exhaust fans – install in rooms where moisture naturally occurs, such as bathrooms, kitchen and laundry areas
  2. Vent your clothes dry and gas burners to the outdoors; this gives the moisture an escape route
  3. Open fireplace dampers to air out your house
  4. Purchase a dehumidifier for your basement

Taking proper steps to control moisture in your home is the best way to reduce condensation on your windows. If you are still having issues, feel free to contact us to get additional information.

I just had a window and two doors replaced by Choice Home Remodeling. Their workmanship was excellent. Tim was very professional and Rob and his crew were great to work with. I would highly recommend them to family and friends!
I recently had Choice Home Remodeling install new windows and a patio door in our home. We were in the market looking for contractors and Choice was recommended by neighbors who were very pleased with the work they had done. The sales team was very helpful and knowledgeable with which window option was best for us and working within our budget. Any questions we had they were quick to respond and always available to call. The installation crew were on time each day and respectful of us and our property. They were super friendly and were easily able to accommodate our schedule and completed the job on time just as they promised. The entire process was seamless as we didn’t have to stress about any of the process because Choice has already taken care of it or always had the next steps before we even get the opportunity to ask. We are very pleased with the products and how the results turned out. We would definitely recommend Choice Home Remodeling for home improvement projects.
