Windows will stay drier if you ditch dehumidifiers for simple five-minute job
The temperature dip in the past week has meant that condensation has started to plague windows in the morning, particularly in bedrooms. Bedrooms are hotspots for damp in winter as we exhale moisture with every deep breath.
TL;DR
- Condensation occurs when warm, moist air cools to its dew point and condenses on colder surfaces.
- It can lead to paint damage, drenched carpets, and mould growth.
- A simple solution involves opening windows for 5-10 minutes daily to ventilate rooms.
- Keeping internal doors open and trickle vents operational aids air circulation and moisture escape.
- Modern A-rated windows with trickle vents allow controlled fresh air flow to reduce cold and damp.
