We all know that condensation between the panes of glass on our windows is a bad sign. We also all know that brand new windows will reduce drafts, making out home more energy efficient and keeping us more comfortable.
So then why do we sometimes see more condensation on the inside of our windows after they’ve been replaced?
Easy. They are working. 
Before when you had those old drafty windows the normal moisture in your home (from showering, cooking, breathing, etc) could escape right outside. Your new, custom sized energy efficient windows are just keeping everything inside. They are blocking air movement between the inside and outside of your home. This is good. They are also lowering your heating and cooling costs, and keeping you more comfortable in your home.

- Turn off your indoor humidifier.
- Ventilate your home regularly. Open it up for a few minutes each day.
