It would also be fair to say that if you do have a particularly thick, heavy pair of curtains that won\u2019t be disturbed by airflow or a breeze, these will also be more effective at stopping drafts than blinds, albeit lighter-weight curtains will be less effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-blinds-better-than-curtains-for-condensation-in-practical-terms\">Are blinds better than curtains for condensation in practical terms?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/condensation-on-window-behind-venetian-blinds.jpg\" alt=\"Condensation on a window behind Venetian blinds\" class=\"wp-image-8482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/condensation-on-window-behind-venetian-blinds.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/condensation-on-window-behind-venetian-blinds-600x306.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/condensation-on-window-behind-venetian-blinds-768x391.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/condensation-on-window-behind-venetian-blinds-940x479.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do have a room or window that suffers badly with condensation, you might want to consider using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/thermal-blinds\">thermally insulating blinds<\/a> in this room and particularly, using waterproof ones. Condensation and a generally humid environment (such as you might get in a room that is heated by gas fire, that\u2019s damp for whatever reason, poorly ventilated, or simply just the kitchen or bathroom due to steam and cooking vapours) will cause water to settle on your blind or curtains as well as your windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that non-waterproof materials will begin to suffer from contact with water after a while. Curtains (which aren\u2019t waterproof at all) and non-waterproof blinds will eventually get damp, begin to smell damp, may grow mould or mildew, and may begin to stain, discolour, or suffer from material\/fabric damage like warping due to the presence of damp or high levels of humidity too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishblinds.co.uk\/roller-blinds\/waterproof\/\">Waterproof blinds<\/a> won\u2019t absorb this water\/humidity and so won\u2019t fall foul of these problems, plus you can just wipe them off to dry or clean them as needed too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, choosing between curtains and blinds for condensation is more of a style choice than a practical one, as neither cause nor cure condensation; but for badly condensated rooms, waterproof blinds would be the better choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, neither blinds nor curtains will prevent condensation from forming, and neither blinds nor curtains cause condensation to gather either.
