After the “Frost’s Descent” solar term, cold air becomes more frequent, and temperature fluctuations intensify. This often leads to fogging, condensation, or even frost on doors and windows.
Prolonged moisture creates an ideal environment for bacteria and fungi to thrive on windowsills, potentially compromising your home’s health. But what exactly causes glass to frost and freeze?
When the surface temperature of solids like glass, window sashes, or frames drops significantly, water vapor in the air condenses into water droplets, causing condensation. As the temperature falls further, the water freezes, leading to frost formation.
How to Prevent Condensation and Frost?
The solution starts with choosing the right windows and doors. Here are three crucial factors to consider:
1.Install Double or Multi-Layer Insulated Glass
Double or multi-layer glass has air-filled spaces between the panes, creating a dry, pressure-stable environment. This design slows the transfer of heat and cold, keeping the inner glass temperature higher and preventing condensation and frost.
LEDOW offers a full range of products with double or multi-layer insulated glass. These products not only provide excellent thermal insulation and moisture resistance but also deliver superior soundproofing and noise reduction performance.
2.Choose the Right Materials and Structure
The choice of window frame materials and structural design is equally important. System windows, built on thermal-break structures, deliver high performance by combining exceptional thermal insulation with superior water-tightness, air-tightness, and wind resistance.
LEDOW uses 6060-T66 ultra-high-precision primary aluminum profiles combined with PA66 nylon insulation strips that match the aluminum’s thermal expansion coefficient. This combination enhances thermal performance and prevents condensation and frost in winter.
3.Ventilation Matters
Regularly opening doors and windows for ventilation helps maintain optimal indoor humidity levels and reduces the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors. This practice can effectively mitigate condensation and frost.
LEDOW offers inward-opening tilt designs, micro-ventilation windows, and fresh air systems to enable gentle ventilation, purify air, and prevent direct drafts. These designs also incorporate safety and anti-theft features for added peace of mind.
