New Windows

As a homeowner, you already know that mold can grow just about anywhere, especially in places that are exposed to moisture. That makes your windows an easy target. Getting rid of mold is a fairly simple and straightforward process, though it is important to do it correctly in order to make sure it’s gone for good. 

Is mold making your windowsills worse for wear? Let’s dive a bit deeper into the topic, so you know how best to take care of the issue. 

How Does Mold Grow on Your Windowsills?

Understanding what causes mold to grow is one of the best ways to prevent it. Most windowsills will be made out of either wood or aluminum, and mold can grow on both of them. In order to grow, mold needs an organic substance and moisture. 

Between the dust that often settles and the moisture that builds up due to changing temperatures, your windowsills can be a great breeding ground for mold. 

Usually, mold spores will grow in the crevices around the perimeter of the window where dampness gets trapped. However, it can grow throughout the windowsill itself, too, if it is made out of wood.

How Can You Stop It?

Mold may sound like scary problem to have but the truth is it is rather common. With that being said, there are a variety of different ways to prevent mold from marring your window features: 

  • Keep Windows Tightly Sealed
  • Use Mildew-Resistant Paint
  • Maintain a Constant Temperature
  • Use a Dehumidifier
  • Maintain Good Airflow
  • Regularly Clean Windows

While these methods are a great way to keep mold away, it could become a recurring issue. In that case, you may have to take a different approach.
