The simple answer is no. Condensation is the result of humidity in your home, not the functionality of your windows. When the humidity is high in your home the water vapors are seen on the surface of the area with the lowest temperature, which in most cases is on glass surfaces of windows and doors. Although condensation may seem a bother it is actually a good indicator that you have good windows, they are helping to keep your home sealed from any air drafts.

No, condensation on your windows means that they are working really well. When you have condensation on your windows that you can touch it means that you have an air-tight area where the moisture can not escape. If you can not touch the condensation and it is inside the glass unit then your unit has failed, contact your window supplier to discuss options for replacement.

There are two options to reduce sound in your home. The more traditional way is to upgrade your double pane glass to a triple-glazed window, which dampens sound because it must travel between three panes of glass instead of two. Another and better option for sound reduction is to purchase windows and doors with laminate glass (instead of regular or tempered glass). The laminated glass allows for a double glazed unit with each pane having a different thickness. By having different thicknesses, typically 6mm and 3mm, the sound transmittance is reduced more than if it was passing through three 3mm panes of glass. Laminated glass is also a good security feature as it is very difficult to break or penetrate. Laminated glass offers both soundproofing and added security from breakage.

Each product comes with a best-in-class manufacturer-backed warranty and GEM 5-year labor warranty on the installation.

A retrofit installation inserts a new window into an existing opening while retaining the interior jamb and trim. A full replacement (also referred to as brick to brick) removes the entire window and trim from the opening, going back to the studs and installing a new window with a new jamb and trim.
