[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 4093825, member: 8119"] Here's a good read, check out the website. Note: If Condensation occurs, it's on the high-humidity side of the window. (Summer is outside / Winter is inside) [B]Does condensate on a double-pane window mean the seal has failed?[/B] The location of the moisture indicates whether or not the seal has failed. On a sealed double-pane window, the space between the panes is filled with a dry gas and may contain a desiccant, a material that absorbs moisture. If the moisture is between the two glass layers, yes, the seal has failed. Contact the window supplier for a remedy. If the moisture can be wiped from the room-side surface of the inner pane, the moisture is condensing from the room. On a double-pane window, this simply indicates high humidity - not a failed seal. To avoid this condensation on windows, remove moisture from inside the home. This can be accomplished by using exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathroom.
