Comment on Condensation by 1at
In cold climate, you want the vent to be to outdoors. The outside dewpoint is lower than indoors
during winter, so there will be less condensation. This won't completely eliminate the condensation
but it will reduce it.If you can find a supplier for it, those gore protective vent stickers over the holes
will help in keeping dust and dirt out from between the panes.The best solution is to replace your
DIY dual panes with proper insulated glass units. Most window manufacturers can sell you just the
glass to your specific size. These are not that expensive and will stay clear all year around.
