On behalf of the Friends of Medalta Society, I can't thank you guys enough. This would not have happened without the donation portion. I will personally make sure your South Country Glass is represented on next year’s donation wall. Thank you.”

Condensation

The winter months cause a large temperature difference between the inside of the house and the outside. This causes the formation of moisture when the moist warm air touches cool surfaces. The first place where you will often notice condensation in your house is the insulating glass, as it has a lower temperature than any other surface in your house. This does not mean that there are any defects in the house. It simply points out the humidity in the house.


When humidity levels are high, condensation occurs more. It can also happen due to uneven heat distribution or poor air circulation near doors and windows. If you want to check the moisture levels in your home, you can buy a hygrometer from a hardware store and place it in your home for a few days. Record the readings to know the moisture levels. Here is a chart to help you.

Outside Air Temperature in Degree Celsius Recommended Relative Humidity Inside Temperature of 20 degree Celsius
-30° or below 15%
-30° to -24° 15% - 20%
-24° to -18° 20% - 25%
-18° to -12° 25% -30%
-12° to -6° 30% - 35%
-6° to 0 35% - 40%

Proper window weatherstripping is essential to reduce condensation. Ensuring that the locks pull the sash tightly can also help in reducing condensation. Keeping the drapes and blinds will also be helpful as it will help in promoting air circulation.

Helpful Glass Tips for New Windows

Sealed Units

If condensation has formed between the two panes of your sealed window, the panes can fog up and stain. Etching can even occur within the glass. This means that the seal within your window has failed.


Whether it is a broken pane or a failed seal, the efficiency of the glass has been compromised. In most cases, the window frame itself has not been damaged, in which case it is still sound and will continue to serve you well for many years. The sealed unit is the only thing that needs to be replaced, and it is unnecessary to do a full-frame replacement. We would like to see our customers consider restoring their windows rather than replacing them, whenever possible. An onsite inspection and review of the job will help us to find you the most cost-effective solution.

Why Renovate? Investing in New Windows

Replacing old windows in your home with new, attractive, energy-efficient varieties can pay immediate dividends through increased market value as well as reduced energy and maintenance costs. These findings resulted from two major surveys conducted in Canada and the United States and give added impetus to the trend among homeowners to upgrade their windows, whether they intend to sell their homes or not.


The Appraisal Institute of Canada – the organization representing many appraisers working for mortgage companies, real estate firms and similar organizations – recently conducted a survey in Canada to determine what home improvement projects provided the greatest return in increased market value to homeowners. Window replacement ranked in the top ten and was estimated to return, on average, 57 percent of the dollars spent.

 

In addition to increased market values, an investment in replacement windows can improve a home’s energy efficiency by up to 20 percent, resulting in a marked decrease in energy bills. On average, it costs $1,200 per year to heat a home, and of that, industry standards suggest that about 30 percent is due to window-related heat loss. Industry experts estimate that, over the past three years, Canadians have saved almost $2.5 million in energy costs just by installing energy-efficient windows.


Finally, homeowners who install new maintenance-free windows realize substantial savings as a result of reduced maintenance costs. In Calgary’s climate, most wood windows require painting every two to three years.
