Reduced condensation

It can be prevented by improving ventilation and removing water sources such as houseplants and hair from pets. Condensation must be eliminated promptly as it could cause mold and rot when left on surfaces.

It is therefore worthwhile to consider whether replacing the windows is a cost-effective option in the long time.
