Winter carries with him not only a festive mood, together with colds in the house there is a problem associated with the occurrence of condensate on plastic double-glazed windows. Why do plastic windows sweat? Let's try to figure out together.
Recall the school curriculum of physics - the higher the temperature of the medium, the more moisture is contained in the air. It's only air cool how A steam condensation occurs, and it settles on the surfaces in the form of droplets. And, of course, it settles in the first place where the temperature is lower. Usually the most cold surface in the room are double-glazed windows, which means the reason why windows sweat is a fairly low temperature on their surface.
We figured out natural phenomena, now it should be found the cause of trouble in the apartment, because, no matter how it was, the condensate on the glass packages - the phenomenon is abnormal, the indicator is that not everything is in order.
So, why plastic windows sweat:
1. Lack of normal ventilation indoors. It happens when the ventilation moves are clogged, they are usually located in the bathrooms, bathrooms and in the kitchen. In this case, nothing will help, except to deal with the ventilation channels and make it as quickly as possible.
2. In view of the purpose of the room, it is constantly increased air humidity. With this, the hostesses in the kitchen are constantly faced. Cooking, washing dishes. And in some families, where there is a small child, the kitchen constantly includes a washing machine and dried underwear. These factors increase air humidity. If the windows are sweat only for this reason, the only output is frequent ventilation of the kitchen.
3. The owner is very economical, and decided to put one-chamber glass in the room. This savings, including itself, is the reason why plastic windows sweat: glass will be very cold, because for good thermal insulation of two glasses is not enough.
4. The next reason for condensate on the windows is recently repaired indoors or a recent settlement of the house. Building structures, finishing materials for a long time retain high humidity. Eliminate the specified reason can only time.
5. Incorrect installation of the window, that is, it was very keen in the window opening. This is usually done at the request of the host itself in order to increase the surface of the windowsill. Numerous flowers placed on it also inevitably let's lead to condensate. Even such a beautiful decoration can cause why plastic windows sweat. Choice for the owner: either the lack of flowers on the windowsill, or condensate on the double-glazing.
6. When installing windows, rules were violated. If the slots remain when installing the windows, they are the source of penetration inside of cold air, which, mixing with warm air masses, cools them to the "dew point", and condensate is settled on the glass windows. It is better to fix such an oversight, not laying out for later. Call representatives of the company that was engaged in the installation. However, it should be remembered that those standards that are provided for window blocks do not affect the rate of condensate formation, because there are a lot of reasons for which this condensate may occur.
7. Incorrect installation of heating devices indoors. The windows sweat in the event that they are installed far from the battery, another source of heat. It is possible to adjust the situation only by moving instruments.
Summarize all of the above in the form of the following recommendations:
· Check and eliminate ventilation defects.
· Pay more attention to thermal insulation, including walls outside. The landmark for maintaining the normal climate indoors should be the temperature + 20c.
· Eliminate all sources affecting the humidity in the room. It may be the flow of the roof, the accumulation of moisture in the basement and others.
· Check the room more often in which you live.
