During winter cold snaps, you might experience condensation or sweating on the inside surface
of your windows.

(think outdoors, exposure, tents, tarps, clothing, gear, etc., for where windows is stated)

Regardless of the window manufacturer or whether the window is made of wood, vinyl or alu-
minum, humidity will condense on any window if conditions are right. The situation is usually

temporary and can be handled by making some adjustments to control interior moisture.
Others may require additional effort and are more difficult to control.

Interior water vapor can be annoying to a home owner and destructive to a home. It can dam-
age sheetrock, paneling, and window sills. It can also penetrate the walls, deteriorating wood
framing and reducing the effectiveness of insulation.
