However, their effectiveness varies, so some may not reduce the humidity quickly enough. <\/p>\n<p>Thus, when there\u2019s a sudden drop in temperature in humid air, even high-quality glass cannot fully compensate for the temperature variations, and condensation occurs, revealing excess water vapor that the air can no longer hold.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some tips suggested by APCHQ to help prevent condensation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>limit the number of houseplants inside;<\/li>\n<li>check that your dryer is properly vented;<\/li>\n<li>avoid lowering the indoor temperature;<\/li>\n<li>do not store firewood in the basement;<\/li>\n<li>use kitchen and bathroom fans during and after use;<\/li>\n<li>avoid taking unnecessarily long showers;<\/li>\n<li>make sure ventilation registers are properly located and unobstructed;&gt;<\/li>\n<li>emove screens from your windows;<\/li>\n<li>do not close curtains or blinds in the evening; allow heat from the heating system to keep the glass warm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" width=\"609\" height=\"286\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5584\" src=\"https:\/\/portesetfenetresdaujourdhui.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/tableau-condensation.png\" alt=\"Condensation\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"z561\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header with_icon\" aria-controls=\"content-z561\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><i class=\"fas fa-question-circle\"><\/i><h5 class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">What is the warranty on my Fenplast windows?<\/h5><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-z561\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Here is all the information regarding the Fenplast product warranty.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fenplast.com\/fr\/garantie.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Current warranty<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fenplast.com\/fr\/garanties_anterieures.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Previous warranties<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section\" id=\"h6c2\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header with_icon\" aria-controls=\"content-h6c2\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><i class=\"fas fa-question-circle\"><\/i><h5 class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">What is Low-E Argon and thermos?<\/h5><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-h6c2\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><strong>The addition of a transparent metallic coating.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/low-e.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\">Glass with a metallic oxide layer applied is called low emissivity glazing (also known as Low-E). With this, you benefit from varied protection against UV rays that can damage carpets and fabrics.<\/p>\n<p>Fenplast offers you two types of energy-efficient glass. The first, standard, is Low-E ES\u00a9 glass, designed to maximize the energy performance of the window, giving you an exceptional ER (Energy Rating) value. This type appears in the \u201cPerformance\u201d tables for each product.<br \/>\nOptionally, you can choose Super HP\u00a9 glass, expressly designed to block heat gain from sunlight, while preserving your interior\u2019s warmth with a high R-value. This glass is best for rooms like solariums or those with heavy south\/southwest exposure that causes excessive overheating.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A non-conductive spacer (the part that separates the two pieces of glass in the sealed unit).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/intercalaire.jpg\" alt=\"\">The edge of a sealed unit is a key condensation factor in all residential windows.
