Condensation resistance

CR — condensation resistance · the fog-and-sweat number

An NFRC score from 0–100 for how well a window resists interior condensation. Higher resists sweating better.

What it means for you

The number that answers “my windows fog and drip on cold mornings.” In humid NC it's worth checking alongside U-factor — a warm-edge spacer and a lower U-factor lift it. It's an optional rating, so not every label shows it.

Where you'll see it

On the NFRC label when the maker chooses to publish it (0–100 scale).
