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?

forms ice. what can i do to get rid of it?

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.
