Default window getting wet from inside

nope, mirror doesn't fog up. Not too much humidity in the house, then what?
Seems like the answer lies in the glass behing too cold....some other
windows have better insulant between the two panes of glass.

When you take a shower, does the bathroom mirror fog up? Does this
mean that there is something wrong with your mirror and you need to buy
a new one?

When the same thing happens to a window for the same reason, why do
people always blame the window?

Storm windows.

Or reduce your humidity. Should have 40% or less.


40% or less? Is that guaranteed to prevent condensation?

What's the ideal humidity between 16-21C for comfortable living?

cheers,
Pete.

Look on a humidity meter. Ours says indicates normal from 50 to 75
percent. Humidity in our house usually runs between 50 and 65 percent.
My wife complains anytime the humidity drops below 50 percent. And no,
our windows don't get wet.

Condensation on the glass means that the glass is cold. To stop
condensation increase the insulation (add more layers of glass) or
increase air circulation.
