Why Do Windows Get Condensation?
Condensation forming on windows is a common issue in many properties and is usually caused by excess moisture within the indoor environment. While it may seem harmless, it can indicate underlying ventilation or humidity problems that should not be ignored.
What Causes Condensation on Windows
Condensation occurs when warm, moisture laden air comes into contact with colder surfaces such as glass. Windows are typically one of the coldest surfaces within a property, making them particularly prone to condensation forming, especially during colder months.
Common Signs
-
Water droplets forming on the inside of windows
-
Condensation worse in the morning or overnight
-
Mould forming around window frames or seals
-
Excess moisture in bedrooms and living areas
Condensation on windows is not always a sign of structural damp, but it does indicate excess moisture levels within the property that need to be managed correctly.
