Fog Formation on Windows
First, we would like to share with you how does fog form on windows. Fog on windows with decreasing temperatures make life difficult. In winters outside your house gets cold while inside is warm and this is one of the most important reasons of fog formation.
Again in winter months we close all doors and windows firmly to prevent heat loss. By this way we would prevent humidity inside from leaking outside. So, why do we have high humidity at home? We would like to answer this in the following way: Ironing, having a bath, boiling water, all of them increase the amount of humidity in house. Because weather is warm in summers, doors and windows are mostly open which does not trap humidity at home. For this reason, you read such news in winter. That is to say, source of the problem is preventing humidity from leaking out after creating it at home. Having to take a bath or cook with doors and windows closed is the biggest factor in fog creation.
How Can We Prevent Fog?
Fog is nightmare of car drivers. With winter months, fog covers interior sides of windshields, decreasing visibility of drivers.

Why Do Glasses Sweat?
Good insulation is a must not just to prevent sweating, but also to decrease energy costs and for your comfort. However, insulated windows solves not condensation, but sweating problem on windows. Our purpose is not to prevent sweating, but the high humidity that is its cause. What you must do for this is to ventilate house during activities causing humidity and keeping humidity under constant control with air-conditioner and such devices. Sweating is not a cause it is an indication. In order to understand the problem and find a solution, you must differentiate between indication and cause.
Sweating you can see on windows and glasses is the most innocent place for condensation. If your windows and glasses are well-insulated, you might not see sweating on these areas. However, high moisture might condense on your walls and ceiling and lead to mold formation and foul humid smell. This is worse than sweating. For this reason, if you see sweating on your windows and fog on glasses, first of all improve insulation of your windows. But remember that you would have high humidity at home.
Why does Humidity Increase at Home?
- Drying laundry; using oven, heater, catalytic heater; taking shower increase level of water vapor inside. This is the source of humidity.
- Increased personal water vapor creation leads to increased humidity.
- New flat owners have this problem more often in the first months due to construction materials used.
- In the beginning of every winter season cooling weather leads to humidity problem. Warming weather decreases the problem.
