Winter conditions can often expose the shortcomings of older glazing systems. The start of a new year, therefore, is the perfect time to evaluate your building’s fenestration.
Condensation and mould are indicators of weak insulation, thermal bridging and poor ventilation – three key issues to look for when assessing a building’s interior and glazing.
Such issues can have harmful consequences, with the potential to lead to structural damage, compliance risks and even health concerns.
High-performance aluminium glazing systems help prevent all these problems at source.
Thermal Bridges vs. Thermal Breaks – Why Quality Aluminium Prevents Damp
Thermal bridging allows cold to pass through window and door frames, leading to surface condensation. Older, poor-performing systems only increase the risk. On the other hand, a thermally broken aluminium frame will reduce the transfer of heat through it.
The Role of Trickle Vents in Ventilation and Compliance
Condensation is caused by excess moisture and cold surfaces. Addressing both issues and improving internal ventilation helps prevent condensation from forming in your building’s windows and doors.
The best way to do this is by upgrading your fenestration with BDC Aluminium. Benefit from our trickle vents, which support controlled ventilation within your building, without compromising security or comfort.
Proper ventilation is also essential for meeting building regulation requirements.
Protecting Property Value and Occupant Health
If mould and damp become persistent, they can damage finishes on your glazing systems and their structural elements, like the frames. Worse still, it can have a negative effect on the well-being and health of occupants.
Eliminate Window Condensation with BDC Aluminium Systems
Condensation is best addressed with the installation of modern glazing systems. Thermally broken aluminium glazing and built-in ventilation provide immediate improvement to your building’s comfort and performance, and excellent long-term value.
