Condensation on the front door: causes and methods of their removal

Condensation, or "fogging the door" on the metal elements on the inside of the front door, is a natural physical phenomenon.

Condensate is a liquid formed on metal elements on the inside of the front door when water vapor is cooled below the "dew point". "Dew point" is the value of the temperature of water vapor at which the latter changes from a gaseous state to a liquid, with a negative value in it.

What factors affect the "dew point":

1. relative humidity;

2. room temperature;

3. the surface temperature of the metal elements on the inside of the front door.

By reducing the relative humidity and reducing the temperature difference, the dew point and condensation probability are reduced. The presence of a cold vestibule or veranda protects the door from condensation.

We recommend practice-tested measures to minimize condensation:

✓ Ventilate the room to reduce the dew point temperature.

✓ Choose a second interior door with a rubber seal that cuts off warm and moist air from the outside of the door.

✓ Install the door box by installing an electric self-regulating heating cable.

✓ Use a domestic air dryer with high indoor humidity (over 60%).

Бира Choose doors with thermal break. Among our line are doors of the T14.1 type.

Advantages of using a door with a thermal break.

The frame and canvas of doors with thermal break consists of two parts, external and internal, between which there is a natural insulation. This way, the outside of the structure does not come into contact with the inside, so that the inside does not lose heat and maintain room temperature. Since there is no "dew point" on the inside of the door, no condensation is formed on it. This is the best way to protect your home from cold and doors from corrosion.

Condensation and freezing of the interior of the door are subject to all products using metal structures without thermal breaks and door box heating, regardless of the manufacturer. The thermal conductivity of metal is much higher than that of wood. This explains the fact that there is no condensation on the wooden door.
