Double glazing itself does not stop mould from growing, but it can help to reduce the likelihood of mould growth by reducing the amount of condensation that forms on the inside of windows.
Mould needs moisture to grow, and condensation on windows can provide the perfect environment for mould to thrive. Double glazing works by trapping a layer of air between two panes of glass, which can help to reduce heat transfer and prevent moisture from condensing on the inside of the windows. This means that double glazing can help to reduce the amount of condensation that forms on windows and thereby reduce the likelihood of mould growth.
However, it’s important to note that double glazing alone may not be sufficient to prevent mould growth entirely. Other factors, such as ventilation and humidity levels, can also play a role in mould growth. To prevent mould growth, it’s important to maintain good ventilation in your home, keep humidity levels low, and address any water leaks or moisture problems promptly.
