Unfortunately, condensation forming on the outside of new double glazing is a natural phenomenon and it arises because the window is working so well at preventing heat loss from your home. Condensation is defined as the process by which a gas turns into a liquid. If the temperature of an object falls below what is known as the dew point
Contact UsDouble glazing condensation can occur the outside pane of glass or elsewhere on the window. Naturally this can be alarming, particularly if the windows or doors are new, but it is not necessarily something to be concerned about. There are many factors causing condensation but double glazing will never eliminate it.

Contact UsUnderstanding condensation on the outside of double glazed windows. Whether made from aluminium or PVCU, both types of modern replacement windows feature a frame design and materials that provide insulation for the entire window and prevent the cold from the outside transferring to the inside.
Contact Us(External Condensation on Double Glazed Replacement Windows) Relative humidity is a comparison of the actual vapor density versus the saturation vapor density at a particular temperature. Another issue that a small number of homeowners experience is “external condensation” on the outside of their new double glazed windows and doors.
Contact UsCondensation in between the two window panes of glass; Condensation on the inside or outside of the window. Condensation build up on the inside or outside of the window is completely normal. It’s a key indicator that your double glazing is working properly and that you shouldn’t be worried about searching for repairs or replacements. To
Contact UsWe have 4 double glazed units on the front of our bungalow. 3 have a 30 cm soffit just above them but 1 is on a gable end with no soffit over. This one gets outside condensation on cool mornings. We will be raising the roof soon and adding a porch across the front. This will probably get rid the problem on the ground floor.
Contact UsThe phenomenon of surface condensation on double-glazed units occurs in three forms: • On the external face (face 1) • On the inner surfaces 2 and 3 of the double-glazed unit. • On the internal face or face 4. Condensation forms very differently depending on whether it is inside or outside the building, due to the thermal bridge effect
Contact UsIf condensation forms between the glass panes, this is an indication of leaky windows. The insulating effect is then no longer sufficientregardless of whether with double or triple glazing. This phenomenon can occur, especially in old buildings, as older windows are not as well sealed or insulated as windows according to current standards.
Contact UsWe have recently launched Pilkington Anti-condensation Glass. This is used on the outer pane of the double glazed unit. It provides a second low-emissivity glass which is designed to delay the onset of external condensation and hence improve the view through the window. For more information visit our product page.
