Condensation

Moisture on your windows can cause more than just an unsightly appearance. It can also lead to many issues. Depending on how much moisture is present, it could cause paint to peel and wood to turn to rot, and ultimately damage the frames and windows. It also increases the humidity levels in your home, which could cause an increase in dust mites and air quality issues. To avoid unwanted negative effects, it is recommended to keep track of the moisture levels and buy a moisture gauge.

Exterior window condensation is when the temperature of the windows' surface falls below the dewpoint of the air surrounding them. This issue occurs in spring and summer, when warm days are followed by cool evenings. Interior window condensation is less common however it's still a possibility and occurs when humid, warm air comes into contact with cold glass surfaces. It is usually caused by cooking, showering, houseplants and other everyday activities that increase humidity levels.

Double glazed windows last from 20 to 35 years. However, their longevity is dependent on the quality of installation and maintenance.

Repairing windows frames is a typical task however, it can be a challenge especially when there is extensive damage. The cost varies based on the material used to repair the damaged frame.
