Window Condensation Solved | Preventing Window Condensation.

[@PS-dh6ge]

I really thought I was alone, dealing with the same type of condensation. At my wits end. I am almost looking forward to winter, to try your method. So much more doable than affording new windows. Thank you for your effort submitting this video. 😂

Welcome..but you need to ventilate your room atleast 3x a day to avoid molds

[@lv8643]

Did it work ? Every morning the inside of my window is soaked and it’s causing issues did this resolve your problem ??

[@tatayvic1028]

It solves then problem but you need to ventilate the room atleast 3 times a day..to avoid molds build up

[@acheung666]

It works because hot air is not hitting the cold window anymore! The moisture from the air will just find somewhere els and create mould. Best option is to get a dehumidifier.

[@patrickcardon1643]

Or aerate regularly to reduce the humidity level. The main problem is the humidity level in this flat and as you say that will not only lead to problems in more places than just the windows

[@tatayvic1028]

Good day guys. thanks for your ideas and comments. I appreciated it. I intended to make the humidity higher to find out if the plastic cover really will work on windows. Proper home ventilation is the key and we all know that I guess.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

It doesn't make sense to say it will "just find somewhere else"... it has a place in the air. Will it find another place even if that surface does is not cold? In other words, what if there are no cold enough surfaces for condensation. then it will just remain in the air right?

[@kingquinn3897]

@@nofurtherwest3474 The air won't be able to hold it so it will migrate to the most cold place in the room. Not all surfaces in the room are of the same temperature so it will locate the coldest surface.

I have this problem when it’s really cold outside even when leaving the windows part open to ventilate. It only happens in the bedroom which is north facing and doesn’t get winter sun. Doesn’t happen to any other window in the house. Will definitely try this. Thanks for the video.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

Interesting. So the windows that get winter sun are kept warm enough to not reach the dew point?

[@eddiewild7215]

@@nofurtherwest3474 no not at all obviously they get some condensation but are nowhere near as bad as the north facing window.

You’re not helping the situation by putting plastic over windows. With humidity at 85% you need to ventilate the property and reduce humidity to below 60%problem solved

[@RustyNail600]

Ideally, 50% or less. High humidity like this is likely resulting in mold growth in the walls. Ventilation is the key here!

[@soothingsound0303]

Right. Low humidity is the key. Maybe they closed their window at night because of cold weather.

[@patrickcardon1643]

Drapes, curtains, blinds also reduce the flow of hot air on the window panes increasing the condensation.

hey, I just watched this video and it seems very interesting, you said that you were going to try it out, did you and did it work? so I dont spend time about if, if it does not work. thank you

[@sleepyrasta420]

You need to leave your curtains and blinds open at all times and invest in a dehumidifier and if you are not using the room open the window for atleast 1 hour per day to let air in, the longer the better though. that's what i do.

[@tatayvic1028]

You are right but we do it 3 times a day but still our windows get wet in the morning.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

But what if the outside air is more humid? then you're just allowing more humidity into your home? Something isn't quite making sense.

[@kingquinn3897]

@@nofurtherwest3474 The humidity in the air outside has plenty of places other than your home to migrate to.

Humidity is still in the house... its just that it couldn't condensate on the cool windows because of the plastic.

Yeah but the air can only hold certain % humidity. If it condenses, it pulls new moisture out of somewhere.

[@keilahnifreedman7695]

Hi, thank you and your family for sharing this video👍 May I ask what type of plastic you used? Looking to try snd buy some online. But not sure where to start. This is great option as replacing our old slider isn’t possible at the moment.

[@tatayvic1028]

It worked in the windows but now the humidity is elsewhere and will just cause other problems.

Just need to ventilate atleast 3x a aday..

Dehumidifier do not work + leaving your windows open do not work.

[@Danish-797]

From your this video it is not clear what plastic and the way you install the plastic on window. Could you please tell , it would be very very helpful.

[@tatayvic1028]

at first i tried the cling wrap for testing and it worked. So I went to the book store and bought a thin clear plastic cover used for gift packing (transparentfolie is called in German) for only 1Euro or 1 Dollar.

[@chaosplan]

I think you can buy a product made for this purpose at the home improvement store. I believe store bought product uses heat shrink plastic. Warm it up with a hairdryer, and it stretches tight like a drum.

[@tatayvic1028]

@@chaosplan right

[@bigf2]

.The ambient temperature in the house is low and the humidity will be high inside. There will also be problems with mold if you do not change this situation. A minimum ambient temperature in a living space must be approximately 21 degrees minimum. Of course, the ventilation of the rooms and other measures must be taken into account.

[@tatayvic1028]

Its an old appartment so all you can do is opening the windows morning afternoon and evening..but then it happens everymorning..

Drying the clothes inside their home wont help the humidity either

[@ChocolateMelanin]

If you close yr blinds & curtains you windows with get condensation on them. Leave yr blinds or curtains open during the night. This is what I do in every room & there is no condensation on the windows in the morning. I also have a dehumidifier for high humidity.

[@nofurtherwest3474]

What does closing blinds and curtains have to do with it? Can you explain the science

[@nescafe5308]

​@@nofurtherwest3474it keeps air from circulating and builds moisture up even more. Example: take shower in bathroom with door closed or even window, there's no way for the moisture to escape and it builds up causing dampness as well as mold. Circulation helps to keep both from happening

[@jameshealy8402]

You've still got that condensation, so if it can't go on window it can go into wall and other places . I'd rather wipe windows every morning

[@tatayvic1028]

Yes but sometimes it so annoying wiping every morning.

[@jameshealy8402]

@@tatayvic1028 Try 2 bowls of salt by window. My neighbour leaves that in his caravan when camp site is closed for winter , Worth a try

[@eladt.2490]

It is not totally solved because the humidity will still affect other things in the house in a long term. It will destroy your furniture and you'll soon notice moisture on some part of the walls. To reduce humidity levels, buy a humidifier. I have experienced something similar so i know what i'm talking about.

[@Harris_will_steal_election]

I think you meant buy a de-humidifier

Guys don’t do this. You need to open the window for little while.
