hey all, i've been having a problem for a while in the winters with
condensation forming on the windows. i had wood double hung windows with
triple track storm windows which i replaced this spring w/ a very good vinyl
replacement window. and just recently re-sided w/ a layer of 1/2" foam and
vinyl siding. we've had a few nights dip into the mid to lower 30's and now
in the morning condensation on the windows. we keep a dehumidifyer in the
basement and the humidity level down there is usually about 47% at about 65
degrees F. up stairs (it's a 1,400 sqft. ranch) where we are having the
problem the humidity level is just about the same but can range from 45%-57%
and the them usually goes no lower than 63 degrees F in the house. there is
never condensation on the basement windows. once the temp outside warms up
and the heat in the house gets going the condensation will dry up after i
wipe most of it away. the thermostat for the house is set to 68 degrees
during the day and 63 at night. when we first bought the house i added more
insulation to the attic, hoping that i could solve the problem but it didn't
help and i hoped that with the new windows it would solve the problem
peroid, but it hasn't. any help would be appreciated.
