3Why do I get condensation on my windows?

There are many objects that increase the moisture content in a room, plants, pets and even ourselves (by breathing). It is also standard that most keep the heating on until you go to bed, then turn off or lower the heating. This will automatically reduce the amount of moisture the air can hold.

The important note to remember is to ensure adequate ventilation to allow the warm air to escape. If you have trickle vents across the top of your windows then keep them open. It’s also important to remember that you want to eliminate as much of the condensation from the room as possible, not just move it from one object to another.

Fitting energy rated double glazing with warm edge spacer will reduce the amount of condensation forming on the products as its components retain more of the internal heat and reduce ‘cold bridging’ this is the transfer of the outside cold air through to the inside of the product.
