Condensation comes from the moisture in the air, and is caused by too much moisture in the air for a certain temperature. Condensation forms when warm, moist air touches a surface that is colder than the dew point of the warm air. As that air becomes colder and its temperature drops below its dew point, it must release excess moisture to reach its new, lower dew point. It releases moisture in the form of water, which appears on the colder surface. (Harvey Industries)

Your new Harvey Windows are designed to prevent air infiltration into and out of your home. Your old, drafty windows allowed the moisture in your home to escape (along with your heat)! Your new Harvey Windows are tight and do not allow the moisture in your home to escape. You need to control the humidity in your home.  (Harvey Industries)

R-Value is a measure of resistance to heat gain or loss. The higher the number, the better a product is at resisting heat loss.

U-Factor, the reciprocal of R-Value, is the measure of the rate of heat loss through a material. Thus, in all aspects of home design, one should strive for the lowest U-Factors possible because the lower the U-Factor, the less heat that is needlessly escaping.

Windows with "clear" glass are the least efficient, while windows with Low-E are much more thermally effective. The best performing windows are those using Low-E/Argon glazing. With this glazing, all Harvey vinyl windows are ENERGY STAR® qualified throughout the country.
