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.

Choice Home Remodeling recently installed new windows and upgraded the deck on our home. Choice was recommended by neighbors who were very pleased with the work completed on their home. We found the sales team very helpful in working through the options for replacement windows and deck materials and design. The installation crews were on time each day and respectful of us and our property. Issues and questions that came up through the installations were politely discussed and answered. We are very pleased with both installations and recommend Choice Home Remodeling for home improvement projects.
We've had Choice do many projects on our home the past 5 years and they always hit our high expectations. Their commitment to quality, both in the products they suggest and installation, is exceptional. Any follow up questions or concerns are immediately addressed. Their pricing is always competitive to other bids we receive, so we always come back to using Choice and have no regrets.Jay, Exton PA
Choice is our #1 go to for doors and windows. They helped us through a major kitchen remodel as well as adding new front entry/screen doors.Their attention to detail and responsiveness are above and beyond any other company we've ever worked with.Thank you, Choice and Team.
Choice Home Remodeling installed a new Larson storm door and my wife and I are pleased with the results! Rob, our installer, did a professional and thorough job to replace our old door which had seen better days. The contrast in entering and leaving our home is noticeable and the door was exactly what we ordered! Rob also replaced the locks on our regular front door. We will certainly contact CHR for any future needs if warranted.
