PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES: 8. INTERIOR CLIMATE CONTROL

8.4 Condensation and/or Frost on Windows

Acceptable Performance/Condition

Some condensation may occur when water vapour in indoor air contacts cold surfaces such as windows. Condensation on interior window surfaces is common during cold seasons. When outdoor temperatures are below freezing, ice may also form at the bottom of the window.

Condensation may occur on interior window surfaces from time to time due to environmental conditions and/or interior generated humidity.

Warranty Coverage

None.

Claim Response

None.

Maintenance Tip

Since it is important for owners to regulate proper humidity levels within the home to prevent damage to other components, such as hardwood flooring and for physical health, some condensation on windows may be expected. Indoor humidity levels may be controlled by dehumidification, ventilation or air conditioning.
