Foggy windows, indoor condensation, and cold drafts are more than just annoying — they’re signs your windows are failing. In Salmon Arm and throughout the Shuswap area, these issues can lead to higher energy bills, poor home comfort, and long-term damage if left untreated. The Trademark team know what these problems really mean and how they can help you solve them for good.
Why Do Windows Get Foggy? (And Why It Matters)
Fog or moisture trapped between the panes of your double- or triple-pane windows usually means the window seal has failed. Once the seal breaks, the insulating gas that is between the panes escapes and moisture gets in, causing cloudiness. These leaks can reduce your home’s energy efficiency because your furnace or air conditioner have to work harder to maintain temperatures.
If the seal is broken, the fogginess will only get worse. Addressing it early keeps your home energy-efficient; call our showroom in Salmon Arm to speak to our skilled sales team and explore your options. You may need to just replace the panes, or a single window.
Condensation Inside Your Home: Warning Signs
If you see condensation on the inside surface of your windows, it can mean excess humidity, but often it’s a sign your windows aren’t insulating properly. Poor insulation allows warm indoor air to contact cold surfaces, resulting in constant moisture buildup.
Left unchecked, this can lead to mold, damaged sills, and peeling paint.
Drafts, Air Leaks & Cold Spots in Salmon Arm Homes
Feeling cold air around your windows or noticing hot-and-cold zones in your home? That’s typically caused by:
- Shrinking or failing window seals
- The window wasn’t installed properly
- Aging or warped window frames are creating gaps
- Glass units are no longer insulating
Drafty windows can increase heating and cooling costs significantly during Salmon Arm winters and reduce your comfort year-round.
