Almost every owner who first put plastic windows in an apartment, sooner or later notices that the windows began to “cry”. To many, this seems to be a flaw in installation, however, this is not always the case. To forget the wet glass and windowsill, you need to figure out the reasons.
The main advantage of plastic windows is tightness. Therefore, simultaneously with the replacement of wooden windows with PVC, you need to take care of enough ventilation. Excessive humidity leads to the fact that moisture condenses on the windows and slopes. This not only does not look aesthetically pleasing, but also fraught with the appearance of mold.
At the same time, sweating windows are a sign that the apartment has too humid air, which is dangerous for health. In most cases, droplets on the window appear during cooking, when drying clothes in the apartment, after taking a shower or bath and other procedures associated with the evaporation of liquid.
Therefore, the best thing to do is to check the ventilation system, which should work in the kitchen and in the bathroom. In a private house you need to put a hood. If this is not possible, you need to ventilate the room in a timely manner, which will definitely benefit. It is recommended for 10 minutes to open the windows after a large crowd of people in the house, cooking, sleeping, bathing.
In addition, you should make sure that the radiators are not blocked by the windowsill by more than one third. Otherwise, the air circulation in the room will be disturbed.
If dampness constantly forms near the window, mold will begin to develop there. Her disputes are extremely dangerous for health, in particular, for the respiratory system, especially if the family has small children. When mold has already made itself felt, in the cold season you need to treat affected areas with chlorine or alcohol, and with the onset of heat, dismantle them and after good drying replace new ones.
Some owners notice that not only the windows themselves are fogged up, but also the slopes. This is rare, but it happens. This is due to the presence of "cold bridges" that appear when the profile contacts the outer wall. This phenomenon indicates the dishonesty of installers. With proper installation, the window unit is mounted in the middle of the slope.
Condensation on the windows, in fact, is a normal phenomenon, and the reason is most often in excess air humidity, and if the slopes “sweat”, it is better to reinstall it as soon as possible.
