Condensation in double glazing is a common problem that indicates a compromised seal, allowing moisture to enter between the window panes. Addressing window condensation is crucial for various reasons:
1. Window Performance: Faulty double glazing adversely affects window performance, leading to increased heating costs as warm air escapes and cold air infiltrates. This results in higher energy bills.
2. Reduced Lifespan: Window condensation problems can significantly diminish the lifespan of windows, particularly if moisture persists within the sealed unit. It can break down glass spacers and seep into uPVC units.
3. Health Concerns: Although condensation itself may not be harmful, if left unmanaged, it can develop into damp and mold, contributing to health issues such as asthma and bronchitis. Effectively addressing condensation is vital for avoiding damage to your home and safeguarding your health.
4. Visibility Issues: Trapped moisture between double glazing panes is impossible to wipe away, resulting in impaired visibility. If untreated, window condensation problems worsen, completely obstructing the window with vapor.
