To get rid of condensation:
- Increase ventilation by opening windows or installing vents.
- Use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels.
- Improve insulation to maintain a consistent internal temperature.
Category: Condensation
Deal with condensation by:
- Wiping down wet surfaces.
- Utilising extractor fans in kitchens and bathrooms.
- Avoiding drying clothes indoors when possible.
To stop condensation on windows:
- Use a dehumidifier.
- Ensure proper ventilation.
- Install thermal or insulated curtains.
- Apply anti-condensation paint or film.
For bedroom walls:
- Maintain a warmer room temperature.
- Increase air circulation with fans or air movers.
- Insulate the walls to reduce cold surfaces.
Condensation on windows isn’t inherently bad, but persistent condensation can lead to mould growth and damage to window frames and sills.
Condensation on the inside of windows is caused by excess humidity in the home meeting cooler surface temperatures on the window glass.
Stopping condensation on windows in winter involves a combination of reducing indoor humidity, improving ventilation, and maintaining a consistent indoor temperature.
During winter:
- Keep room temperatures consistent.
- Use thermal curtains at night.
- Maintain low humidity levels with a dehumidifier.
- To prevent windows from steaming up:
- Ventilate the room, especially during cooking or bathing.
- Use a dehumidifier.
- Apply anti-fog treatments to the glass.
Condensation on walls is typically caused by high humidity and poor ventilation, especially where warm, moist air contacts colder wall surfaces.
To stop windows from steaming up at night, crack open a window slightly or use a dehumidifier to reduce the indoor humidity.
