Why do metal windows sweat?
Quite common life situations - sweating glasses when entering the frost from the room, glass in the bathroom or windows in the apartment. The formation of condensate - this is the problem that millions of people face. Identify the cause of this phenomenon is simple enough, if we consider several options.
The main reasons for the appearance of condensate on metal-plastic windows, i.e.misting, are two factors - humidity and temperature. It is the change in these quantities, from a scientific point of view, that can affect this situation. For example, if you raise the humidity at a constant temperature or, conversely, lower the temperature at a constant humidity, you will achieve the phenomenon of misted windows. This is due to the fact that this surface in the apartment is the coldest, in the case of windows. And often with the problem of condensate formation they collide just in the winter, because of the significant difference in temperature and humidity.
Temperature
Why do the windows get fogged because of the temperature? This difference in different rooms is due to several reasons - external and internal. The first is the wind effect. In the case when the window goes to the vented side, it will be colder than the window that opens into the yard. Internal reasons include the assignment of batteries in different rooms to several risers and different degrees of access of warm air from the glass to the batteries. To avoid misting up the windows, it is necessary to choose the right insulating glass. If your apartment is single-chamber, replace it with a two-chamber one. Also check the access of warm air from the battery to the windows. Very often it is wide window sills, screens, etc.serve as a barrier. Increasing the temperature of the inner surface of the window, you avoid the problem of condensation, cease to "sweat".
Moisture
Why do metal-plastic windows sweat due to humidity? The increased humidity of the room should be brought to a normal level. As a rule, the overestimation of this factor occurs after repair work( for example, concrete, plaster, wallpaper).In this case, regularly ventilate the apartment. If you live in a private home, check the hood. Perhaps it's outdated and it's time to replace it.
