Window Frame Condensation?

Window frame (aluminum) condensation has been an issue for some of our clients living in high-rise buildings. Some buildings (i.e. pre-1980) suffer more, as they were constructed without thermal-break technology in the aluminum cladding surrounding the windows. The exterior cold temperature travels through the window frame into the interior of the condo, where it turns the window frame into an ice cube. The higher the humidity, the more ice and condensation that forms inside. The issue can become quite severe for residents whose exterior walls consist mainly of aluminum framed windows: They are forced to either lower the humidity or mop their windows twice a day. The Renovation Company, Inc. has developed a solution that completely eliminates this issue without disrupting the aluminum framing (typically a violation of building by-laws). Electrical work is required. An efficacy video will be posted soon…
