If you think “first impressions last” only applies to people, think again. Like people, houses are often judged by outward appearances first. You might have spent a fortune renovating your bathroom or kitchen, but buyers won’t bite if your home’s exterior lacks that “wow” factor—curb appeal. This article from Examiner.com explains the importance of curb appeal in getting homes sold:[…] Read More

An article on the Daily News-Miner website published last November 28, 2013 discusses the problem of excess condensation occurring on window panes during winter. Water drops can form on windows whenever the level of humidity inside a home is too high, in contrast to the dry cold of the outdoors. If left unattended, the droplets can freeze, causing a mess for homeowners. There are several solutions to reduce condensation, as the article suggests:
“Three things: make sure your home is properly ventilated, aim for less than 40 percent relative humidity to keep both you and your home healthy, and consider replacing your windows or adding external removable window insulation during cold months.
. . .
Older, poorer performing windows can create problems no matter what you do to your interior air. Bad seals around operable windows, metal spacers between the panes, and inadequate insulating value can cause the window surface to get cold enough for condensation to occur. If you’re not ready to invest in new windows, consider some type of moveable window insulation like foam board (on the outside) or well-sealed plastic film (on the inside).”
Better insulation can prevent windows from getting too cold, thus preventing condensation from forming on their surface. However, merely changing the insulation on clearly dilapidated and old windows will do little to change anything. If the budget permits it, householders shouldn’t hesitate to purchase replacement windows in West Chester, PA.
With the right windows in Newark, DE, locals can live comfortably despite harsh winter conditions outdoors. A window replacement with a sturdy, insulated frame and treated glass panes can reliably keep out the cold and even reduce energy usage by as much as 25%. Consumers should enlist professional contractors such as Homecraft® to provide such quality products.
