How does condensation occur?

  1. Cold air enters your home or place of work
  2. This cold air is then warmed by the buildings occupants
  3. The warm air then absorbs excessive amounts of moisture
  4. This warm, moist air hits cold surfaces, walls, windows and is cooled below its dew point
  5. The excess moisture is released, and condensation occurs
How does condensation occur?

What is condensation?

Air in buildings can have a high level of humidity due to the activity of the occupants drying clothes and breathing. When this water filled air is released and comes into contact with cold surfaces like windows it can condense causing water to be left deposited in that area

What will happen if left untreated?

Condensation on windows typically brings out rapid decay to the lower areas of window casings, walls and even ceilings.

If this is not treated mould can occur which can then cause damage to plaster and be harmful to your health. Moulds produce allergens, irritants and, sometimes, toxic substances. Inhaling or touching mould spores may cause an allergic reaction, such as a runny nose sneezing, red eyes and skin rash. Moulds care also one of the main causes of asthma attacks.
