Good indoor air quality is crucial to your family’s health and wellbeing. If your indoor air is contaminated, this could trigger allergies or cause respiratory illnesses among your family members. While your HVAC’s air filters and air purifiers can help improve your indoor air quality, windows are also a good way to naturally remove airborne pollutants and introduce fresh air into your living spaces.
Continue reading to learn how windows can contribute to your home’s indoor air quality.
Poor indoor air quality is often caused by a lack of airflow inside your home. Even when your HVAC system produces warm or cool air, it only circulates the same air over and over again throughout your spaces. This means indoor air pollutants keep getting reintroduced into your living space.
The solution to this is quite simple — open your windows from time to time so that fresh air can enter your home. Fresh air from outside will dilute the pollutants and allergens circulating in your space. It also flushes out some of the contaminants in your indoor air.
Larger windows mean better air circulation, but they’re not always the best option. For instance, you have to consider the size of the room to determine whether a large window will fit or look good in it. Consult experts to figure out the right size and type of window to use in a specific area in your home. You should also look for energy-efficient windows since they can effectively keep the heat out during summer and prevent the cold from seeping into your home during winter.
