The popularity of plastic windows is obvious. They retain heat well, protect from external noise and do not require special care, but there are also disadvantages.
Very often, after installing plastic windows, owners notice damp corners and mold.
Causes of humidity near windows:
- humid indoor environment;
- insufficient ventilation;
- the slopes were not insulated;
- errors during window installation.
Methodology for eliminating the problem of damp corners and mold
Reducing humidity in the room. Alternatively, installing a household dehumidifier.
Ventilate the room regularly.
Check the window installation. There are cases when the mounting foam is not covered with anything on the outside. Over time, it cracks and moisture gets into its cracks, which leads to the formation of mold.
It is necessary to choose the right width of the window sill. It should not be too wide, thereby blocking the flow of warm air to the window.
If you install plastic slopes, this will help solve the problem, since plastic does not absorb moisture.
Insulation of walls.
