Ice on wood/aluminum windows (interior)

Hello forum,

Three weeks ago we had the interior plaster done. Now the low temperatures have arrived and ice formed on the wooden frame mainly in the basement. On the ground floor and upper floor where it is heated (wood stove) the problem occurs less. The windows are wiped and ventilated twice daily. I have not scraped off the ice so far, I think it can’t get any worse (it is already frozen). How should I proceed now? Heat and prevent the frost or leave it as it is. Can or will the windows suffer damage from this?
Regards and thanks

Hello Maccus,

I definitely advise you to also heat the basement rooms so that the moisture in the house, which was introduced during plastering and house construction, is controlled and discharged. Otherwise, the moisture remains in the basement and contributes to damage.

Wood stove also in the basement; ventilate briefly for 1-3 minutes, if possible three times at these temperatures, and then the moisture should actually disappear.
