Fogging windows is not always a sign of a problem - it all depends on where it is forming:

👉 Condensation on the inside of the glazing (house side)

This is usually caused by excess humidity inside your home (kitchen, bathroom, breathing, plants, etc.). When warm, humid indoor air comes into contact with a cold surface (the glass), water vapor condenses and forms fog.

Solutions :

• improve ventilation;

• use a dehumidifier in winter;

• maintain a recommended indoor humidity level (around 35 to 45% in winter).

• 
  

👉 Condensation between the glass panels (inside the double or triple glazing)

In this case, it is a sign of failure of the glazing seal : the unit is compromised, the seal is no longer ensured. This requires replacement of the glazing.

👉 Fog on the exterior side of the glazing (exterior side of the house)

This is a normal phenomenon, which even proves that your windows are very efficient! This happens when the outside air is very humid (cool night followed by a sunny morning) and the exterior glazing remains colder than the ambient air. Thanks to the excellent thermal insulation of our glazing (triple glazing), the interior heat does not warm the exterior surface: hence this temporary condensation.

Fog in the windows

Conclusion : In most cases, exterior fogging is not a problem. Fogging between the windows, on the other hand, requires intervention. Do not hesitate to refer to our publication on the subject: https://www.vsteuro.com/single-post/www-vsteuro-com

To preserve the shine and transparency of your high-end windows, it is important to use the right methods:

✅ 1. Recommended cleaning solution

You can use one of these two options:

• a mixture of warm water and mild soap (ammonia-free window cleaner);

• or a natural mixture: water + white vinegar (approximately 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water).

👉 White vinegar is very effective at removing limescale stains and residue — making it ideal for regular maintenance.

🚫 Caution : Do not use abrasive products, cleaners containing pure ammonia or strong alcohol, which could damage the surface treatments of the glass.

✅ 2. Recommended equipment

• a clean microfiber cloth or quality squeegee;

• Avoid paper towels or rough fabrics, which can leave lint or scratch the surface.

✅ 3. Ideal cleaning conditions

Clean your windows on cloudy days or when the sun isn't shining directly on the glass. This prevents the solution from drying too quickly and leaving streaks.

✅ 4. Maintenance of frames and hardware

Take the opportunity to also clean the frames (with soapy water and a soft cloth) and check the condition of the hardware.

👉 VST Tip : Cleaning your windows 2 to 4 times a year ensures optimal clarity and prolongs the beauty of your woodwork.

What is the best way to wash my windows?

White vinegar is an excellent natural ally for cleaning windows.

You can absolutely use a solution based on:

• 1 part white vinegar for

• 3 parts lukewarm water .

• 
  

This mixture allows you to:

✅ effectively remove limescale marks; ✅ dissolve greasy residue; ✅ achieve a streak-free result.

👉 For routine cleaning, this is more than enough.

However :

• on very dirty windows (external dust, pollution), it may be preferable to first clean with a little mild soap + water to remove the dirt, before finishing with vinegar for a perfect result.

• It is recommended to avoid using undiluted pure vinegar on aluminum frames: for these surfaces, simply use mild soapy water.

Finally, don't forget to use a microfiber cloth or a quality squeegee for a flawless finish.

Washing - cleaning windows

Replacing your doors and windows is not just about aesthetics: it is essential to maintain a high level of comfort, energy efficiency and overall performance of your home.

Here are the main signs that a replacement is recommended:

• Air or Water Infiltration If you experience drafts near windows or notice water infiltration, this not only compromises your comfort, but can also lead to structural damage.

• Condensation between panes of glass The presence of fog or condensation between the glass panels indicates a failure of the sealed glazing, which reduces thermal and acoustic insulation.

• Difficulty opening or closing Worn or deformed mechanisms affect the sealing and security of your windows.

• Increased heating or cooling costs An inefficient thermal envelope forces your heating or cooling system to work harder, resulting in a significant increase in your energy bills.

•

It depends on your municipality. If you're replacing your windows with models that are identical in size and appearance, a permit is usually not required.

However, if you change the size, appearance, or arrangement of windows, you will likely need to obtain a building permit. It is always recommended to check with your local municipal office.

Renovation and permits

Tilt-and-turn windows, common in Europe, offer two opening modes:

• French opening : opens inwards like a door, making cleaning easier.

• Gusseted opening : tilts inward from the top, allowing safe ventilation.

In addition, they allow:

• Little air penetration depending on wind direction;

• In tilt mode, break-in is almost impossible;
  

This system offers excellent sealing, increased safety and ease of maintenance.

A tilt-and-turn window is a type of window that combines two opening modes in a single mechanism:

• French opening (casement) : the tilt-and-turn window opens completely inwards, allowing plenty of ventilation and easy access for cleaning.

• Tilt-and-turn opening : The tilt-and-turn window opens only from the top, creating a secure opening that promotes air circulation without the risk of intrusion or excessive drafts.

• 
  

This ingenious system offers optimal comfort , excellent thermal and acoustic insulation , as well as enhanced security . Widely used in Europe, the tilt-and-turn window is now in high demand in Canada and is becoming a popular choice for those looking for windows that are practical, elegant and efficient .

At VST we offer it with multi-anchoring for security and waterproofing, but also in more contemporary to rustic designs and finally, in uPVC, aluminum and wood.
