With the onset of cold weather, condensation begins to form on various surfaces exposed to warm and icy air. This is facilitated by increased humidity and sudden temperature changes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

In residential buildings, glass fogs up most often. Hoping to prevent condensation on plastic windows, people replace wooden frames with metal-plastic ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, after replacing old windows with modern double-glazed windows, the problem sometimes gets worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Condensation on plastic windows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, it’s worth discussing the possible causes. Some of them can be corrected, which will help eliminate the condensation problem.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Low quality of metal-plastic windows with single-chamber glass units<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The problem is solved by replacing the window. Repair costs can be reduced by replacing just the double-glazed windows with energy-efficient ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also necessary to insulate the exterior slopes. Of course, this is a rather radical method and isn’t suitable for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Poor ventilation and high humidity in the house<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is recommended to regularly ventilate the room and remember to turn on the hood while cooking or taking a bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the absence of natural ventilation, it is necessary to install devices for forced air exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, you can purchase moisture absorbers if basic ventilation is not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heating system is inefficient and the dew point is not calculated correctly.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the radiator has poor heat output, the window area will not heat up well and the glass will fog up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is necessary to take care of additional heating devices, which are recommended to be installed near the problematic window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By increasing the air temperature in the room, you can avoid dampness and dew on the glass.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Incorrect battery placement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a result, moisture accumulates around the window and settles on the glass. Installing special grilles and heat-reflecting screens can remedy this situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too many moisture-loving indoor flowers on the windowsill<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Everything is good in moderation. Plant leaves evaporate moisture, and excess moisture causes condensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid increasing the humidity in the room, you should remove some flowerpots from the windowsill and distribute them among different rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

How to combat condensation on plastic windows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If it’s impossible to correct the underlying causes of condensation, you need to address the consequences. This can be done using readily available tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polyethylene film. Applying a special protective film to the glass can prevent fogging. Polyethylene improves the energy efficiency of double-glazed windows and significantly insulates the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glycerin. This pharmacy product prevents dew from settling on windows. Dissolve ten drops in one liter of clean water, soak a sponge in the resulting liquid, and wipe the windows with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stains on a transparent surface can be removed with a napkin or a special cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ammonia. Washing windows with water and ammonium hydroxide will not only make the glass clean and shiny, but also reduce its tendency to fog.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Baking soda.<\/strong> Sodium bicarbonate reduces fogging of windows. For every liter of water, add two tablespoons of baking soda and shake thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soak a sponge in the resulting solution and moisten the glass. After the windows have dried naturally, wipe them with a dry cloth or napkin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salt.<\/strong> You can place a cup or saucer filled with salt on the windowsill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sodium chloride actively absorbs moisture, so there will be less dew on the glass. The contents of the cup will need to be changed periodically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
