How to Reduce Interior Condensation on Your Windows | Anlin Windows & Doors

Window condensation can be a natural occurrence. Windows do not cause condensation.

Interior window condensation is the result of excess humidity in your home, which comes from excess water vapor in the air. Everyday activities such as cooking, taking showers, washing dishes, and doing laundry adds moisture into the air. Interior window condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes in contact with the colder surface of a window. It can be an indicator that there is excessive moisture inside your home and you need to reduce the humidity.

Note: If this is a new occurrence and humidity was not present with your old windows this maybe because your old drafty windows allowed moisture to escape through inefficient cracks and seals. Today’s windows and doors produce more energy efficient, “tighter” homes.

If you are experiencing interior window condensation, here are some suggestions to reduce the humidity in your home:

•Be sure all ventilation to the outside is functional.
•Open windows and doors whenever practical to allow interior moisture to escape.
•Use ceiling fans to keep air circulating within your home.
•Open fireplace damper to allow an easier escape for moisture.
•Use kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans. Run exhaust fans during and after the activities have ended.
•Use dehumidifiers to reduce the amount of moisture inside homes with high humidity.

Following these suggestions will help reduce the humidity in your home and interior condensation on your windows.
