What Causes Condensation On The Insides of Windows?
Are you experiencing frost or condensation on the insides of your windows when it becomes cold outside? Does the condensation appear on the inside of the windows where you cannot wipe it off? Are there water drops accumulating and causing streaks on the inside of the glass or staining your window frame?
Maybe the corners of the window are starting to fog up, or maybe it has gotten so bad that the view from your home is getting completely fogged out. When condensation on the inside windows starts to obstruct the clarity of their view, most people think that replacing the window is the only option. Window replacement can be costly and inconvenient but with BC Thermal Window Restoration Inc., there’s another option.
The Cause:
For properties that are over 10 years old, condensation on windows or inside windows is common problem that can annoy owners to no end. Condensation inside windows is caused by moisture entering through a bad seal and getting trapped inside the panes of glass. If the absorbent material inside the window has reached the end of its useful life, the air inside begins to collect moisture. Once the air inside your windows becomes saturated with moisture, condensation will accumulate when the temperature around the windows changes, usually in the morning or at night.
If left unchecked, the windows with trapped moisture will eventually enter a cycle where the condensation drips down the glass and into the frame or window sill. Depending on the layout of your window, this will eventually lead to streaks and stains or even mold.
