Winter is so dry indoors, that many
people humidify their homes. If they didn't, health
and complexions would suffer, tropical plants wither,
antiques degrade, and even some musical instruments
go out of tune.
Increasing humidity has its drawbacks, though, with
window condensation topping the list.
It's a problem, that, for starters, simply looks
unsightly, but over time, it will stain wood peel
paint, and rot frames.
Not only that, window condensation causes or contributes
to mold growth, a sinister presence hidden from
sight, deep inside window and wall openings.
In fact, poorly built or installed windows are a
prime indoor mold source, whose occurrence is more
and more being linked to child asthma, plus increases
in general respiratory illness, allergies and outbreaks
of fungal diseases.
