Condensation on outside of windows might look alarming, but it’s usually a sign of energy-efficient glazing, not damp.

This guide explains what condensation on outside of windows means, when it could be a problem, and how to manage it if it blocks your view.
Wake up to droplets on your windows and wonder if it’s just winter gloom—or something more. Condensation inside windows is more than a foggy nuisance; it’s a sign your home is holding too much moisture. Left unchecked, it can lead to peeling paint, rotting timber, or even mould. This guide shows you how to spot the signs, understand the causes, and take practical steps to reduce moisture and protect your home—and your health.
