Condensation is probably one of the most unpleasant phenomenon, the appearance of which not only results in the loss of comfort you have in your own home, but can affect both your health and your loved ones and the \u201chealth\u201d of your home, leading to black mold on the ceiling, walls, window frame, curtains, cabinets or corners with poor air ventilation.<\/p>\n
You may have noticed often how windows are sweating, especially in cold weather, or the walls of the house are wet to the touch.\u00a0This is the condensation.<\/p>\n
We already know that the air contains different amounts of water vapor. The warmer the air is, the greater the vapor pressure trapped and when the humidity of the air reaches the saturation value, the air cannot hold water vapor anymore, resulting in condensation, generally on colder surfaces in the room, such as windows or the inner part of the walls.<\/p>\n
Because of these causes, the condensation is most often associated with the windows of the house, which have the highest coefficient of thermal transmission between the building elements of the house and therefor the lowest temperature of the surfaces of contact with the air in the room.<\/p>\n
The thermal insulation<\/a>\u00a0of your home is more than a passing trend, having long-term implications in increasing your comfort and your loved ones.\u00a0Therefore, when you equip your home, make sure you choose windows that have superior thermal insulation properties.\u00a0Types of\u00a0thermal insulating glazing<\/a>, along with argon and\u00a0Warm-edge technology<\/a>\u00a0used in the manufacture of thermal insulating\u00a0PVC<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0aluminum<\/a>\u00a0windows in Stars by QFORT range, have the ability to keep heat inside the house during the cold period of the year and to prevent the greenhouse effect in warm periods.\u00a0Thus, your comfort is improved and your environment is protected by\u00a0reducing energy consumption<\/a>\u00a0in your home and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.\u00a0However, there are certain conditions under which windows with these types of equipment may lead to condensation, but depends on the location, other construction elements and other factors of benefit mentioned above.<\/p>\n Therefore, to avoid condensation, the temperature of the surface of the heat insulating glazing inside the room must be increased. You can do that by choosing wisely windows with a low thermal coefficient.<\/p>\n
