There are several ways to prevent the windows in your house from fogging up, for example by properly ventilating, opening the windows or using an extractor hood for air circulation.
Maintaining an appropriate level of humidity in your home and good insulation of your windows will also prevent cold outside air from coming into contact with warm air in your home.
We must ensure that there is a thermal gap between the windows and the surrounding walls to prevent warm air from condensing on the cold window.
In addition, it is important to avoid placing heat sources directly near the windows, such as radiators or heaters, as this can cause the windows to fog up.
Cleaning windows
Also, clean your windows regularly to remove dust and dirt that can contribute to fogging.
It goes without saying that old windows can be less efficient and therefore less able to insulate the house from external air currents. If the windows are very old, it is advisable to consider buying new windows with double glazing and adequate seals.
Houseplants to prevent condensation on windows
Houseplants can help prevent condensation on windows as they can absorb moisture in the air and help maintain an adequate level of humidity in the room.
Some plants that are particularly effective at reducing humidity are plants like Aloe Vera, a plant known for its ability to absorb moisture from the air and is easy to grow.
Pothos are also very effective at removing moisture from the air and thrive even in low light conditions.
Houseplants
Keeping some of these plants indoors can help maintain proper humidity levels and consequently prevent condensation on windows.
It is important to note, however, that proper ventilation and insulation are still the best means of preventing condensation on windows.
