Most commonly, the air in your living space is more vaporous than outside and could cause moisture to accumulate between the glass panes. It's a problem that can dramatically reduce the efficiency of your double glazing. In the absence of this issue, it can result in increased energy bills and damaged windows. Condensation outside This is completely normal. Window condensation on the outside is caused when cold window glass comes into contact with humid and warm air. The air's moisture can't hold itself as an inert gas and, when it comes into contact with a cold object like window glass, it transforms into droplets of water (known as condensation). Exterior window condensation is most common in the morning, when temperatures are low and sunlight hasn't heated the windows to evaporate the water. The good news is the presence of condensation on your exterior windows is an indication that your double glazing system is operating well and is effectively blocking heat loss from your home. The downside is that excessive moisture from exterior window condensation can trickle down and cause blistering, cracking or peeling paint to your window frames. This can lead to costly damage and replacements, which is why it's important to keep the level of humidity in your home in control. You can do this by wiping off the condensation from your windows with a squeegee, or a clean cloth. You might also look into a window coating that is hydrophobic. This is a clear material that lets water flow off windows instead of sticking. It is available at many hardware stores and then applied in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines. A dehumidifier can be used to manage excess moisture in your home. These appliances can be purchased at most hardware stores and onli
