Window condensation - expert

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

4 of my double glazed windows in my bungalow suffer from severe condensation in the winters. The windows in question are north/south facing.

 

Can anyone make suggestions to reduce. Ideally from an expert or someone who has a good understanding of physics, thermal, etc.

 

Thanks.

I shall assume that the condensation is on the inside, in which case I suggest that you get a decent temperature and humidity meter, and ideally CO2 (not CO) as well - £50 will get this.
What’s the window frame construction, photo?

 

Most likely (jumping the gun on your answers) is that the RH is high and window is old school U=2.7 so two pronged attack would fix: replace glass and drop RH.  If RH high but CO2 low (unlikely) then dehumidify; usually CO2 is also high, so you really should ventilate more - MVHR is the gold standard soln for this, other solutions are available🙂.
