Too much humidity makes my windows fogged, help ???

Question

Hello,

I work in a flower shop and there are obviously lots of fresh flowers and plants.
Due to recent low temperatures, my inside windows are constantly fogged.
Until now, I used heaters to "clean" the windows but it works temporary.

ANY GOOD IDEA TO ELIMINATE HUMIDITY????

Thank you

Answer 1

Typically good ventilation (opening windows, maybe a fan) takes care of fogged windows, however in your situation that may require too much ventilation. Also you need to get (dry) air from outside for this to work.
A longer term solution would be to use double paned windows (two layers of glass, or even three), but that would take some time to install, and would take some investment (however over time you safe money with lower heating and cooling bills).
Another thing you can do is go to an autoparts store and see if they have any products for this (anti-fog for windshield).
Scuba diving retailers also sell defogging solutions, but their glass is a lot smaller then yours, so this may be expensive (try a small part of your window first).

Answer 2

This is tough since it is your product that is creating the humidity in the first place. So, how do you eliminate the humidity without killing the product? My suggestion, since this appears to be a temporary situation caused by low temperatures, is to squeegee the windows from time to time until the temperatures rise. Alternatively, you might try using a small heater located at the bottom of the window. Heat rising right next to the window might do the trick.
