Condensation in winter
With 148 freezing nights a year, condo glass gets cold. Open the louvers on cold days so warm air reaches the glass, and wipe the sill if moisture collects.
Building rules
Most condo corporation rules are about what shows from outside: often white or off-white facing the glass. Check yours before ordering a colour, and book the elevator for delivery and install day.
