Window glass Anti-condensation Coating

[lakasa]

Hi all,
Any idea how the anti-condensation coating on window glass works.
The layers, reflection of sun rays etc.

think about how condensation occurs - cool surface and warm moist air . . . not sure coatings will have any benefits.

think hydrophilic coatings.

pmover - Pilkington might disagree; at least their marketing department does.

I do not imagine Pilkington or any other maker telling their process.

I think this is a consequence of low-e coatings... taking the cooler surface 'outdoors'... When I installed low-e glazing in our home about 30 years ago... I noticed the condensation and thought nothing of it. With most glazing, you can stand adjacent to the window and 'feel the cold' from the outside... not with low-e.

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?
