Recently, plastic windows are enjoying allmore popular. If before they could afford only a fairly wealthy people, now all are eager to change wooden windows for plastic. With their help, it's easy to create comfortable living conditions, as they perfectly keep the temperature. But at the same time, many people face the problem - plastic windows sweat. What to do in this situation? Let's first figure out the reasons for the condensation on the windows.
The most interesting thing is that different kinds of fogwindows: both wooden, and plastic, and aluminum. But most of all they pay attention to double-glazed windows, made of plastic. The appearance of moisture on the windows worsens the appearance and visibility, in addition, leads to the moistening of building structures, as well as the development of fungi and mold.
The rules for the use of PVC windows refer toThe fact that the temperature in the room where they are used should not be less than eighteen degrees. As this plastic windows sweat. What to do? Solve the problem with the establishment of normal heating in the room to eliminate this particular cause of condensation on the glass.
When installing insulating glass, a violation occursheat exchange, as the design of the windows tightly closes the room from the penetration of outside air. As a result, the humidity level in the room rises. And then the physics comes into effect, explaining that the liquid can change its state when the temperature changes. In particular, an increase in temperature leads to the evaporation of the existing liquid and its existence in the form of vapor, which, as the temperature decreases, settles in the form of moisture on the coldest surfaces. It is the glass and is such a surface, and quite often its lower part.
Why does the humidity in the room increase?As already mentioned, the density of the window is such that air and heat can not circulate freely, which leads to an increase in humidity. The recently built buildings and premises, as well as the repairs done there, are also the cause of this. Because building structures retain moisture for about two years. And the presence of boiling pots in the kitchen or drying clothes after washing, too, contributes to this.
Now we know why the windows are sweating, what to do - reduce the humidity in the room.To do this, you can ventilate the room a couple of times within a minute or fifteen minutes or install double-glazed windows with a special system that allows you to ventilate the room in automatic mode.
A number of other reasons can lead to the fact thatplastic windows "cry." What to do - eliminate them. For example, the window design does not meet the operating requirements, that is, a single-compartment unit is installed in the living room, which can not fully perform its functions. Or when the window was sealed, substandard seals or sealants were used. The holes that divert water in the window profile itself can also be incorrectly made.
Also, mistakes made during installation can lead to the fact that the plastic windows sweat. What to do? To control the installation process of insulating glass units, paying special attention to the following points:
- quality of sealing joints with foam;
- the correct location of the window itself in the opening;
- use of quality sealants.
Sometimes even the presence of a too wide window sillor a large number of plants on it can cause the plastic windows to sweat. What to do? Reduce the width of the window sill, so as not to disturb the circulation of warm air from the batteries or rearrange the flowers.
