Our windows are Energy Star rated as Most Efficient and they are designed to reduce your energy bill and save your hard earned money.

Question 6

Will the new windows eliminate condensation?

Accepted Answer

No. Replacement windows won't eliminate condensation. Condensation will likely occur in energy efficient windows as well. The best way to reduce condensation is to keep relative humidity at your home at around 30%. Sometimes, in cases of high humidity levels, we recommend our clients to install a storm door to prevent the door handle and the lock from freezing.
