Why are fogging windows dangerous?

Many underestimate the effect of condensation on windows, simply not paying attention to it. The only problem, according to many people, is simply the temporary limitation of visibility. In fact, everything is much more complicated, more serious and more dangerous. Excess condensate will adversely affect both the windows themselves and the people who are in the room.

Due to excess moisture, it is possible to deform window parts - fasteners, frames, etc. Over time, the tightness is significantly broken.

Human impact

Too humid air contributes to the development of pulmonary diseases in people. Also, one should not forget that a humid environment is ideal for the development of mold and fungi, which also negatively affects human health, especially dangerous for young children and people prone to allergies.

Why windows are sweating

As a rule, condensation is formed on the glass from the side of the room, but in this case, the main problem is the lack of ventilation. There is also an opinion that only plastic windows sweat, with old wooden windows this did not happen supposedly because they “breathed”. In fact, it was not the wooden frame that “breathed”, but the cracks in it.

How to avoid fogging windows

First of all, choose a warm profile. This means that it is best to use 4-chamber profiles. Try to order double-glazed windows filled with krypton, argon, their mixtures are also a good option.

If you have fogged up windows that were recently installed, then you should check the seals, if necessary, replace them.

Be sure to adjust the hardware you are using. The fact is that supercooled areas appear on the window precisely because of blowing through the seals, which have lost their previous elasticity. Correct adjustment of accessories will also significantly extend the life of plastic windows. It is best to choose frost-resistant gaskets.

Condensate Mistakes

In order to "not blew" often we try to close all available holes as much as possible. At the same time, it is important to consider that water vapor must be removed from the room, therefore the operation of the ventilation system is very important.

Even if the room is cold enough, still do not forget to ventilate it periodically, you can also strengthen the work of heating elements.
