In reply to broken window seals by JP on April 3rd, 1999 08:30 AM [Go to top of thread]

Hi, I recently bought a new home with insulated glass. The sunlight coming through for most of the afternoon increased the temperature of the room to uncomfortable levels even with the AC running. I had Sun Block (a tinted film) installed and saw some condensation on the windows in the summer in the early morning but it went away during the day. It is now winter and it seems that the condensation is there most of the day. Could higher temps evaporate moisture from a broken seal while much colder temps do not. I was told by the Sun Block rep.that a broken seal would cause condenation all the time (hot or cold weather). Is his reasoning correct? If the seal is broken would it be better to install film on a new window on the outside to reduce heat absorption? I am told they only install this product on the inside. Many thanks! John
