How does a window filter affect home air?

Indoor air is a mix of sources inside the home and air coming in from outside. A window filter acts on the outside part of this equation. We explain plainly what it changes and what it does not.

What determines your home’s air?

Indoor air is shaped by two sources:

  1. Formed indoors: Cooking, cleaning products, humidity, carbon dioxide, textile fibres, pet hair.
  2. From outside: Dust, pollen, soot, particles and gases from exhaust.

The most effective way to reduce pollutants formed indoors is airing. But airing means letting in what is outside. The window filter exists to ease this contradiction.

What does a window filter change?

  • Less dust gets in. Windowsills and furniture get dusty more slowly.
  • Less pollen gets in. Airing is more comfortable in pollen season.
  • Tiny insects stay outside.
  • You air the home more often. Because you are not worried about dust from outside, you open the window more freely; this helps reduce humidity and smells from indoor sources.

What does it not change?

  • Gases: It does not hold back gases such as nitrogen dioxide, or smells.
  • Indoor sources: It does not reduce dust and pollutants formed inside the home.
  • Closed window: It has no effect while the window is closed.

A practical view

Think of the window filter as the “doormat at the front door” of your home. It stops most of the dirt from outside at the door, but it does not replace cleaning inside. Used with regular airing, cleaning and, if needed, an air purifier, it makes the biggest contribution to your home’s air.
