What Does it Mean if My Windows are Frosting Up?
Some of the causes of your windows icing up on the inside can be simple to remedy, while others require more substantial measures. Either way, frosted up windows isn’t something you want to ignore particularly if you have wood windows. When wood windows continually frost over, it can lead to rot and other issues. Even on other types of windows, the melting frost can cause cracked paint and stained varnish.
What Causes Frosted Windows—And How to Fix It
The simple answer to why windows frost over is that they are exposed to cold air on the exterior and humid air on the interior. As the water in the air collects on the windows, the cold air causes it to freeze creating the frost. There are a few things you can do to remedy frosted windows including:
- Running a Dehumidifier
- Weatherizing Your Windows
- Running a Space Heater in the Rooms Where the Frost Occurs
While those solutions may solve the immediate problem, they are typically just Band-Aid fixes. If your windows aren’t doing their job of keeping the cold air out of your home then it’s time for new windows. If you have high-performance windows and they still frost over, it probably means that they weren’t properly installed and that air is entering your home from around the windows.
