Window condensation is a phenomenon where moisture from the air settles on cold surfaces such as glass.
This can lead to problems with insulation, mold and mildew. How can this unpleasant effect be avoided?
Check the ventilation
One of the reasons for condensation is insufficient ventilation of the room. If the air does not circulate, it becomes saturated with moisture and cools down.
To improve ventilation, you should regularly air out the rooms, especially when cooking, showering, or drying clothes. You can also install special ventilation grilles or exhaust fans.
Install thermostats
Another way to combat condensation is to maintain an optimal room temperature.
If the temperature is too low, the glass cools down and becomes a place for condensation. If the temperature is too high, the air overheats and releases more moisture. To find the golden mean, you can use thermostats that automatically adjust the temperature according to the time of day and season.
Use anti-condensation agents
If you cannot change the conditions in the room, you can try to protect the glass from condensation using special means.
These can be anti-condensation films that are glued to the glass and create a heat-insulating layer. Or they can be anti-condensation sprays or gels that are applied to the glass and prevent moisture from settling.
Condensation on windows is not only unsightly, but also dangerous to health and comfort. Therefore, you should not ignore this problem and use various methods to solve it. This way, you can enjoy clean and dry windows all year round.
