Understanding Window Condensation

Condensation on windows can be a puzzling issue, but it's important to understand that not all condensation is a cause for concern. There are three main types of window condensation, and only one typically indicates a problem with your windows.

Exterior Condensation

When humidity levels are high, and the temperature drops, condensation can form on the outside of your windows. This is perfectly normal and often occurs in shaded areas or during periods of heavy rain or sprinkler use. Your windows are designed to prevent water intrusion, so there's no need to worry about exterior condensation.

Interior Condensation

Similar to exterior condensation, interior condensation happens when warm, humid air meets a cold window surface. This is often noticeable in bathrooms, kitchens, or other areas with high moisture levels. While occasional interior condensation is normal, excessive amounts can indicate poor ventilation or high indoor humidity.

Condensation Between Glass Panes

This is the only type of condensation that signals a problem with your windows. If you notice moisture between the glass panes, it means the window's seal has failed. This allows humidity to enter the sealed unit, causing condensation to form.
