Other Ways to Reduce Window Condensation

Condensation on the glass of windows and patio doors is the common result of temperature
variations between a home’s interior and exterior, and the humidity levels within a home.
Crestline’s warm edge spacer system is one way to minimize those temperature variations.
Run a dehumidifier, or turn off your home’s
humidifier
Use exhaust fans in areas with high humidity
such as bathrooms and laundry rooms
Take shorter showers and install water-restricting
faucets
Window condensation will often appear temporarily
as moisture seeps out of a new home’s wood, plaster
and other building materials. This will generally pass after
about a month, or at the most, one heating season.

Cover pots and pans while cooking to hold in
moisture, or use your microwave or slow cooker
to prepare meals
Open your windows occasionally to vent moisture
Open drapes and blinds to allow warm house
air to circulate against the windows
This same type of moisture can accumulate in a milder
form at the beginning of each heating season. During
the summer, your house absorbs moisture. After the first
few weeks of heating, your home will “dry out” and you’ll
notice less condensation.
