Every winter, it’s the same story: upon waking, the windows are covered in droplets, the windowsill is damp, and sometimes even the floor isn’t spared. This condensation can quickly become annoying, especially when you feel like you’re doing everything right. However, this very common phenomenon isn’t inevitable. With a few simple steps and natural remedies, it’s entirely possible to limit, or even permanently eliminate, this unwanted humidity and reduce condensation on windows.
Why does condensation appear on windows?
Condensation forms when warm, humid indoor air comes into contact with a cold surface, such as a window in winter. As a result, the moisture in the air turns into water. With the heating on, low outdoor temperatures, and daily activities like cooking or showering, everything contributes to increasing the humidity level in the house without us even realizing it.
