Common household activities such as cooking, showering, running a washing machine, or operating a dishwasher contribute to higher moisture levels in the air. An example of condensation occurs every time you shower, when warm moist air contacts a cool mirror surface. Or leaving a glass of ice water at room temperature will simulate the same result. Some new or remodeled homes may also be subject to condensation, especially during the first year, because of the moisture content of building materials and greater insulation factors. In these cases, it usually takes one heating season for a home to dry out. It is impossible to eliminate humidity, but it is possible to control it.

Some examples in your home for controlling moisture include the following:

¨ Running exhaust and ceiling fans when cooking or showering.

¨ Using dehumidifiers

¨ Cutting back on humidifiers by being sure that they are correctly set according to the outside temperature

¨ Keeping attic louvers open all year round, and crawl spaces properly ventilated.

¨ Consulting a local heating and ventilation contractor to determine adequate ventilation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Moisture that can be wiped away either on the interior or exterior paned of an insulated glass unit is not a seal failure, it’s called condensation. Condensation occurs when indoor humidity or warm moist air comes in contact with colder surfaces. As the outside temperature decreases, so does the surface temperature of the glass. Constant high levels of humidity may result in visible moisture, fog or frost.
