New windows don't cause window condensation

Condensation on the interior of windows and doors occurs when warm, humid air comes into contact with cool glass. This is especially common in the winter when outside air is cold and dry, and the indoor air is warm and humid. Even if you aren’t running a humidifier, everyday activities like bathing, cooking and even breathing all contribute to the humidity in your home. 


Window Condensation is a common problem for anyone who has installed new replacement windows, as new windows typically aren't drafty and don't allow the humid air to escape the home. Below are some videos from various sources that explain window condensation and how to reduce or elimate it.
