Is it normal to see condensation on a triple glazed window?
Question
Some of our new triple glazing is often clouded with condensation in the morning. The suppliers say there is nothing wrong. How can that be right?
Answer
Check whether the condensation is on the outside. If so, it is because the new glazing is being super-efficient. Overnight the outer glass will have cooled down because no warmth from inside reaches it. As morning comes, the glass will remain cool while the air outside will warm up, causing condensation.
