Causes of moulds

Mould on window frames is caused by moisture problems such as condensation, poor sealing, and leaks. Low temperatures and insufficient ventilation worsen the issue.

Condensation moisture

When warm, humid air cools on cold windows, it forms condensation. Without proper ventilation, damp areas like sealant edges and windowsills remain wet, encouraging mould growth.

Aged frames and sealants

Worn-out window frames and sealants trap moisture due to poor sealing, especially on rainy days. Limited air circulation increases the risk of mould on these vulnerable spots.

Leaks

Water seeping in through leaks can remain trapped in wood and sealant for long periods. This persistent moisture creates the perfect conditions for mould to thrive.

Low indoor temperatures

Cold window frames and glass cause condensation from the air's moisture. These damp areas stay wet longer, accelerating mould growth.

The consequences

Mould on window frames can cause structural damage to your home and health issues for its residents. Acting promptly is essential to prevent more significant problems.

Consequences for your home

Mould in window frames can lead to wood rot and weakened structures, requiring costly repairs. Mould spores spread musty odours throughout the house, reducing living comfort.

Additionally, mould affects the appearance of window frames, negatively impacting the value of your home.

Possible health issues

Mould spores can cause health problems such as allergies, irritated airways, and worsened asthma symptoms.

Prolonged exposure can increase these complaints, affecting the quality of life in your home. If symptoms arise, it is advisable to consult a GP.

FAQs

What are the costs?

At Lavos Totaal Service, you benefit from very competitive prices for your pest control. The exact cost depends on the application and requirements. Together with you, we will come up with a suitable cost estimate.

How can I prevent wood mould?
  • Ensure good ventilation by regularly opening a window, especially after rainy periods.
  • Clean windows and frames frequently to remove dirt and moisture, tackling mould early.
  • Check frames and sealants for leaks and repair them to prevent moisture build-up.
  • Maintain indoor temperatures to reduce condensation and mould growth.
Single or Double Glazing?

Condensation can occur with both single and double glazing.

Single glazing is more affordable and suitable for spaces with limited ventilation where heat retention is less important.

Double glazing offers better insulation, energy efficiency, and comfort, making it ideal for living rooms and bedrooms with proper ventilation.

Can Mould Form on uPVC Window Frames?

Absolutely. Mould can form on uPVC window frames, even though they absorb less moisture than wood. Corners and sealants, where moisture tends to linger, are especially prone to mould growth.

Is Condensation on Windows a Problem?

Condens op de ramen is op zich niet erg, maar wel een waarschuwing dat het vochtgehalte te hoog is. Dit probleem is vaak eenvoudig op te lossen met betere ventilatie. Als er echter vocht in of tussen de glasplaten van dubbel glas zit, kan dat wijzen op een lekkage.

Which Materials Are Prone to Mould Growth?

Schimmelvorming bij raamkozijnen kan voorkomen op verschillende materialen. Houten kozijnen zijn bijzonder kwetsbaar, omdat hout vocht opneemt.

Sealants, rubbers, and certain types of paint can also attract mould, especially when frequently exposed to moisture.

Does my insurance cover mould control?

This depends on your insurance and on the cause of the mould. Damages because of leaks or construction defects is often compensated.

Can the problem disappear on its own?

No, mould never disappears on its own! While reduced moisture may slow its growth, the spores remain and can multiply again when moisture levels increase.
