No, you do not have to accept it and wait for the sun to cook it off
Coastal regions that experience high levels of humidity and frequent rain or fog are more likely to experience exterior window condensation. IQ Radiant Glass: - has the technology that helps maintain the exterior glass temperature higher than the dew point temperature to prevent exterior window condensation.
IQ Radiant Glass®:
Uses a transparent conductive resistive coating on the glass to create an electrical output in response to temperature differences between interior and exterior surfaces
The output activates a layer on the surface that generates enough heat to keep the exterior glass temperature above dew point temperature to prevent condensation
Can maintain a consistent temperature, even when indoor and outdoor temperatures differ greatly
Suitable for homes and buildings in areas that experience high humidity levels or cooler temperatures
Can be configured to heat outside pane of glass to a higher temperature than the dew point
Allows for precise temperature control to maintain a clear view through the windows, even in inclement weather
Exterior window glass condensation is a natural occurrence similar to challenges faced in auto glass repair. It happens when the outer glass cools below the dew point, often seen in the early morning. While generally not harmful, consistent condensation can indicate humidity issues. Regular maintenance and ensuring proper ventilation can help manage condensation and maintain clear visibility, much like caring for auto glass.
