What is Condensation? |
|
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)

What to do if Condensation
Appears on Your New Windows? |
|
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 and U-Factor
Information |
|
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.
