As soon as the cold comes condensation on plastic windows does not make you wait long. Not only do windows fog up, but moisture also accumulates on the windowsill. This can lead to mold on the window slopes, which is very undesirable.
The causes of condensation are poor ventilation of the premises, high humidity in the house. Such a "disease" most often affects single-chamber plastic windows. We offer you a way that will reliably protect your windows from condensation, and your pocket from excessive spending.

Materials for work
In order to eliminate fogging of plastic windows, you will need:
- thermal film made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET);
- roulette;
- double sided tape;
- scissors;
- degreaser;
- several microfiber cloths or towels.
Step 1. Preparatory work
We clean the window sill from unnecessary items, providing access to the window. We degrease the surface of plastic frames and glasses in order to better hold the adhesive tape and film after gluing. Wipe all surfaces dry.
Step 2. Sticking tape
We measure the width and height of the frame with a tape measure. We take double-sided tape and cut off the desired strips.
We remove the protective film from the adhesive tape and glue it to the frame. Then remove the protective film from the other side.
Step 3. We glue the PET film
We measure and cut the PET film to the size of the glass + allowances of 5 cm on each side.
We remove the protective layer on one side of the film, and glue it with this side to the glass, and allowances - on double-sided tape glued to the profile.
Remove the remaining protective layer, being careful not to damage the film. As you can see, PET film is transparent and practically does not reduce the level of illumination in the room.

We put a kettle of water on the stove and let it boil for a while. This will increase the humidity in the room. This is a good time to check windows for condensation.
As you can see, the glass on a regular window began to fog up.
Glass with PET film left dry.
