How To Prevent Condensation In Your Home
This winter, you may have started to notice condensation appearing on the windows and doors of your Wiltshire home. Condensation can be a cause for concern as it can cause damage to the inside of your home through dampness and moisture. However, there are ways to stop condensation from making its way in. In this article, we take a look at some of the ways you can prevent condensation from entering your Wiltshire home.
What is condensation?
Firstly, we need to understand condensation and how it is entering your Wiltshire home. Condensation occurs when the outside temperature of the window is cooler than the inside temperature. When humid air meets a cold window surface, it releases some of its moisture, creating water droplets.
Double Glazing Windows
Often, you will find that homes with single glazed windows have a high chance of condensation as they can be significantly colder than the surrounding area. By installing double glazing windows, you will reduce the possibility of condensation considerably as the cold air will be kept out. At Wiltshire Windows, we are a Swindon double glazing installer with a whole range of double glazed windows to choose from, including casement windows, tilt and turn windows and sliding sash windows.
Secondary Glazing
Secondary glazing can be an excellent solution for older Wiltshire homes to prevent condensation. It involves adding a second pane of glass rather than replacing and installing double glazing. Secondary glazing is a cost-effective and efficient way to insulate your home in Wiltshire.
uPVC Doors
Condensation can also be a sign that you need brand new doors for your Swindon home, and you may not be getting protection from winter’s difficult weather conditions. Our range of uPVC doors is all designed with long-lasting durability in mind. The airtight seals and effective drainage mean that even in the hail or snow, you can have peace of mind that your new uPVC front doors will keep their stunning looks.
Conservatory Roof Replacement
If your conservatory in Wiltshire is having condensation issues and you already have double glazed windows, you might need a conservatory roof replacement. Replacing a conservatory roof is a fantastic solution for making your conservatory a place to enjoy all year round. Our tiled conservatory roofs and glass conservatory roofs use the latest technology and are designed with insulated columns for thermal efficiency. We supply and install conservatory roofs for our customers in Wiltshire, Swindon, and the surrounding areas, all of which have fantastic thermal performance.
