Why plastic windows sweat

Recently more and more people give preference to plastic windows. But sometimes owners of new double-glazed windows should face unexpected problem - plastic windows begin to mist over. Why plastic windows sweat and how to get rid of this problem?

Instruction

1. The increased humidity of the room, is, perhaps, the most common reason of fogging of plastic windows. It is necessary to know that air temperature is a little higher indoors, than temperature of surface of window glass. Therefore if in air there is surplus of moisture, then it will accumulate on cold glasses that will lead to formation of condensate. To get rid of this problem, it is necessary to open window and to air the room 3-4 times a day, at least five minutes.

2. The lack of due ventilation indoors is other the most often found reason of emergence of condensate on plain glasses. If the ventilating ducts located in kitchen and in bathroom are badly cleaned, your windows will begin "to cry". For elimination of this reason of fogging of plastic windows it is necessary to clean channels of vent system.

3. It is necessary to know that if as a result of mounting the window has been too removed from the electric heater, then the mode of convection of indoor air is broken. In this case the heating appliance will not warm the surface of glass and emergence of condensate is almost inevitable. Consider that too wide windowsills which are completely closing electric heaters also lead to the fact that windows begin "to cry". For elimination of this problem it is necessary to make openings in windowsill through which warm air will arrive to glass.

4. Insufficiently high quality of profile, bad assembly of double-glazed windows and frames and also nonprofessionally executed mounting of window design can be one more cause of emergence of condensate on glasses. Accumulation of moisture between glasses demonstrates violation of tightness of double-glazed window. Such window needs to be replaced. For elimination of the problems connected with bad quality of assembly and installation of double-glazed windows it is necessary to address to the company making mounting of your windows.
