Have you ever noticed water droplets forming inside your windows? If so, you’re not alone. Window condensation is a common occurrence, but it can also be a warning sign that something in your home environment needs attention.
What Is Window Condensation?
Window condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cooler surface, like your window glass. As the air cools, it loses its ability to hold moisture, resulting in tiny water droplets forming on the glass.
How to Fix (and Prevent) Window Condensation
Improve Ventilation
Use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms, or open windows briefly to let moist air escape.
Reduce Indoor Humidity
- Use a dehumidifier.
- Keep houseplants to a minimum during colder months.
- Avoid drying clothes indoors if possible.
