Your home’s air quality is important to your health and well-being. Different factors affect indoor air quality, including poor ventilation, mold caused by moisture, and harmful chemicals used in your furnishings. In light of these, you should find ways to improve air quality to prevent health issues. Let Renewal by Andersen® of Westchester and Fairfield County, your Connecticut windows expert, explain the main pollutants that contribute to poor indoor air quality:
Insufficient Ventilation
When you use your air conditioning system, you should try to keep out outdoor air as much as possible with doors and windows shut tight. Additionally, your ventilation system is designed to recirculate indoor air instead of allowing outdoor air to enter. While preventing unairconditioned air from entering your home is effective at reducing energy costs, it can affect indoor air quality negatively. You should occasionally open your windows to allow proper ventilation.
Mold Growth
As your windows are the parts most exposed to the elements, moisture can quickly accumulate in them. This can lead to mold growth that compromises indoor air quality, so be sure to remedy any signs of mold growth in your home. You should also choose quality replacement windows in Connecticut to minimize moisture problems. Our high-performance windows feature our exclusive Fibrex® frames, which are excellent at resisting any form of mold or mildew.

They are the primary cause of poor indoor air quality and are the greatest contributors to a range of respiratory and other health symptoms. For your windows, trust Renewal by Andersen.
