Window condensation can be a natural occurrence. Windows do not cause condensation.
Interior window condensation is the result of excess humidity in your home, which comes from excess water vapor in the air. Everyday activities such as cooking, taking showers, washing dishes, and doing laundry adds moisture into the air. Interior window condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes in contact with the colder surface of a window. It can be an indicator that there is excessive moisture inside your home and you need to reduce the humidity.
Note: If this is a new occurrence and humidity was not present with your old windows this maybe because your old drafty windows allowed moisture to escape through inefficient cracks and seals. Today’s windows and doors produce more energy efficient, “tighter” homes.
If you are experiencing interior window condensation, here are some suggestions to reduce the humidity in your home:
•Be sure all ventilation to the outside is functional.
•Open windows and doors whenever practical to allow interior moisture to escape.
•Use ceiling fans to keep air circulating within your home.
•Open fireplace damper to allow an easier escape for moisture.
•Use kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans. Run exhaust fans during and after the activities have ended.
•Use dehumidifiers to reduce the amount of moisture inside homes with high humidity.
Following these suggestions will help reduce the humidity in your home and interior condensation on your windows.

Good video. The same occurs on a camera enclosure, for similar reasons.

If the interior glass is not as cold as the outside, there s/be less condensation. Single-pane windows often show condensation, because there is little insulation. Check that your dual-pane windows have not failed, as the inside glass should not be as cold as is the outside glass.

I live in a ghetto apartment with original 60 year old single pane windows. I have even had ice INSIDE these cheap ass things, and they are always moldy.

I recently found that my dual-glaze window, got lots of condensation due to silicone I put to insulate and also higher temp and moisture inside. It is more complex formula. Basically temperature at which condensation appears depends on inside room temp, inside humidity level, and temp of the window surface. Condensation droplets is water, and water can evaporate in 2 cases, first if you increase temp, second if you increase airflow. Thus, I placed small pc fan (92cm) next to window, to blow a small breeze towards the window. This blows hotter air from room towards glass that is a bit colder. By making it a bit warmer + small breeze, condensation is gone. I also use dehumidifier from time to time, 2-3 times a day, to keep humidity around 60%. (dehumid alone would still cause a bit of condensation on lower part of window). On the drafty windows, there was always some airflow, preventing condensation, after sealing better, we need to make the airflow ourselves, it seems.

Lol on those extra cold nights when it gets frosty outside (I live in Australia so snow is kinda not common), when the sun rises it all builds up as liquid at the bottom of the window and can often drip down onto the floor. I was just wiping it away with a towel. but it's annoying if it happens in a room where I have electronic stuff in the room, cus I have to remember to not put it close to the window.

Do dehumifers and air purfier both kill mold spores and mold I have mold in my bedroom and I use dehumifers and I have plug in air purfier also do they both work and are they both worth using

@nilsfrahm1323 2 года назад

They are worth using, purifier will catch mold spores inside its hepa filter and can keep you healthy even if some mold spores are present. Dehumidifier will remove water from air, which will make the mold dry out. But for best results, you should find some mold spray (ideally without chlorine) and spray directly on mold, and wipe after 15min. Repeat twice for good measure. You can even spray one final time and not wipe, to leave the surface with that toxic substance, to prevent future mold there.
