Fighting Window Condensation

In this day and age, windows and doors as well as modern insulation systems are keeping homes and other building structures better insulated than ever before. While this is a good thing for energy costs, this is causing the very unique problem of not allowing moisture to properly escape. This lack of ventilation frequently causes windows to be clouded by excess condensation and moisture. To make this more understandable, it is similar to the condensation that forms on the outside of a cool glass of liquid on a warm day. While this can seem just like an annoyance, this can also cause problems in the home such as mold, fungus, and other unwanted moisture-related occurrences. In order to keep moisture from getting caught in your home, there are methods for keeping your home properly ventilated. For more information on that, Canadian Home Workshop has a few helpful tips to keep your home cool and dry this winter.
