Doors and Windows - Condensation on Interior Surface of Window

Hello,
Here in Denver, the tempature dipped to about 4 degrees last night. This morning I found a layer of condensation on the interior side of a double-pane window. I see a slight trace of condensation in-between the panes. I think this means the window has lost it's ability to insulate and should be replaced. Could there be another cause for the condensation?

Thanks

Nope...you probably have a seal failure since you see it between the panes. The window will still insulate, but not as well, esp if it was the gas filled type.

Any other windows affected?

I checked the others in the house and there all dry. Thanks for your response.

Have a great day.

Many windows have a 10, 20yr or lifetime warranty on the glass seal. The seal on that window has failed, it can't be repaired, but you may be able to have it replaced by the manufacturer. Is there a name on the window?? Look on the glass(etched in one corner), stickers around the edge of the frame or sash, etc.

Hi,

I had the same thing happen to some of my windows. I wanted more privacy any way, so I used a Static Cling window film. It helps insulate, blocks out the UV rays but lets in the natural light, and I don't have to look at the codensation in between the panes. I picked a beautiful stained glass design called Napa by Wallpaper For Windows.

Are you sure that the Rh is not causing this!

airman.1994 is very probably right -- it's more than likely the relative humidity that is causing the condensation, not a failure of the window, although it may well be that. (I can't see it!)

What room of the house is this window in? What is different about this room than all of the others? (The direction it faces, it proximity to the return air duct of your HVAC unit, kitchen or bathroom nearby, a closed door ... it could be any one or more of several things.)
