Mold around window frames: this is why it appears

The main cause of mold is condensation  . Condensation can be defined as a very thin layer of water that covers windows when cold and warm air come into contact. The same thing, if you think about it, happens when you take a glass bottle out of the refrigerator: this wet halo is created on the surface of the bottle. The same thing happens on our window panes: outside the air is very cold, inside it is hot. The windows will start to fill with condensation. There is a simple way to prevent it from forming  and the solution will amaze you  .

Window frames with mold

If we want to definitively eliminate the creation of condensation, we must say  goodbye to thermal bridges  . You don’t all know what thermal bridges are, we’ll explain it to you. Thermal bridges are given by the elements that make up our window, such as the  frame  (iron frame) or the  marble supports  under the window frame. Practically in every Italian house there is a marble sill at the base of the window. You will surely have noticed that this marble slab is always cold, precisely because it acts like a bridge, it takes the outside temperature and brings it inside.

This is what causes a thermal bridge:  it brings the outside temperature inside the house and causes the creation of condensation on the window panes. Mold is born precisely from these condensations, and this happens especially if we do not ventilate the house well. We can therefore say that if there are no thermal bridges, mold will not be created. Here’s the way to avoid it: eliminate thermal bridges.
