How cold bridge can affect the risk of condensation?

Cold bridges, or thermal bridges, occur when there is a break in the insulation of a building, allowing heat to escape more easily in certain areas. This can lead to lower surface temperatures on walls or ceilings, increasing the likelihood of condensation forming when warm, moisture-laden air comes into contact with these cooler surfaces. Over time, this can result in mold growth, structural damage, and deterioration of building materials. Proper insulation and design considerations are essential to mitigate the risk of cold bridges and subsequent condensation issues.
