We have metal window frames throughout our house. In the winter we end up with water condensing on the metal frames and pooling on the sill inside. I'm in the process of repainting and wonder if I should caulk around the inside of the window?
I'm aware of the various means to attempt to alleviate condensation issues: controlling humidity, heating the interior, air circulation, etc. We haven't had much success and deal with it by wiping up the water. We still end up with some damage to the sill and adjacent drywall (mostly in the corners). Caulking will help with cleanup and prevent water from dripping down under the sill. Thoughts?
If I do caulk between the sill and the window, what type of caulking should I use?
Thanks!
