Double glazing is a fantastic method to keep warm inside your home and lower energy bills. If you notice a lot of condensation and you are not aware of the signs that your windows might require replacement. This can lead to a myriad of issues, including mould and mildew.
Condensation happens when warm, humid and humid air is brought into contact with a cold surface. You might have noticed this in your home, when you've woken to find that your glasses have developed a watery coating on them, or you might have seen it in the outdoors when the temperature has fallen below the dew point, and moisture forms on the cool glass.
This is usually due to an increase in internal humidity when the outside temperature is dropping. The moisture can also build up on the inside of your windows if there isn't enough ventilation or if your home is too hot and your window is open while you shower or cooking.
External condensation is usually formed on the plaster reveals near to the window. It's not as dangerous as it sounds because the heat of the sun and the movement of air will usually dry it up.
