Use and Care Guide

Interior Window Condensation
Condensation on the glass surface
of a window occurs when high
interior moisture content meets
low temperatures on the glass.
This is a natural occurrence and
a sign that excessive moisture is
present in the home.
• Minor condensation or fogging that appears of the
lower corners of windows should not be a concern.
However, the lower the outside window temperature
and the higher the interior humidity, the more
condensation can occur.
• Continued or heavy condensation on windows is
consistent with excessive interior humidity. This can
lead to interior damage and to other health related
concerns.
Windows do not cause condensation; condensation
is a result of excessive interior humidity. To reduce
and control excess humidity, follow these simple
suggestions:
• Ventilate the interior of your home by opening
windows and doors periodically to allow interior
moisture to escape.
• Use exhaust fans more frequently and
for a longer period, particularly when showering.
• Use ceiling fans to circulate the air
• Install a dehumidifier
• Be sure that attic or basement crawl space louvers
are open
• Be sure that clothes dryer and all gas burners are
vented to the outside
