Waking up to dripping wet windows every winter? Condensation isn’t just annoying—it can cause mould, damage window frames, and even ruin your curtains.
The good news? An Ionmax dehumidifier can stop condensation at the source by controlling indoor humidity. Here’s how it works—and which models do the job best.
Why do windows get condensation?
Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface (like your window glass). In Aussie homes, it’s common because of:
- High indoor humidity from showers, cooking, or drying clothes indoors.
- Poor ventilation, especially in modern, airtight houses.
- Cold winter mornings.
If left unchecked, condensation can lead to mould growth, peeling paint, and even wood rot.
How a dehumidifier fixes window condensation
An Ionmax dehumidifier tackles condensation in three ways:
- Extracts excess moisture
- It pulls water from the air, keeping humidity at the ideal 40–60% range.
- Prevents air saturation
- Dry air = no water droplets forming on your windows.
- Improves airflow
- Ionmax models have fans that help recirculate dehumidified air back into your space and reduce stagnant moisture.
Pro tip: Place the dehumidifier near problem windows for faster results.

FAQs about dehumidifiers and condensation
Will a dehumidifier stop condensation completely?
Yes—if humidity stays below 60%. Ionmax dehumidifiers with high extraction rates (like the Ionmax Vienne) work fastest.
How long does it take to see results?
Within a few hours for powerful models. For severe cases, give it 1–2 days.
Do dehumidifiers work in cold rooms?
Yes, but compressor models lose efficiency below 5°C. For garages or unheated spaces, a desiccant dehumidifier works better.
