Waking up on a winter morning to find patio doors fogged up is a familiar situation for Edmonton. When the thermometer dips to -30°C and the difference between street and room temperature reaches 50 degrees, even modern doors are severely challenged. Not only does condensation impair visibility and aesthetics, but it can also lead to serious problems such as peeling paint, mold and even damage to the door structure.
What happens to patio doors in winter? Why do some doors “weep” while others stay dry even in the harshest frosts? How to choose and install doors that will last a long time and do not bother with condensation? In this article, we’ll look at the causes of condensation and share proven solutions that work even in the extreme conditions of the Canadian winter.
Canglow experts who have installed over 1,000 patio doors in Edmonton will explain the important nuances to consider when selecting and installing.
Why does condensation appear on patio doors?
Condensation forms when warm internal air meets cold surfaces. In winter conditions, when the temperature difference can reach extreme values, this phenomenon becomes particularly noticeable.
Exterior doors are subjected to constant temperature fluctuations, which can have serious consequences for your home and comfort. Ignoring this problem can lead to significant repair costs in the future.
