December 10, 20232 yr Not an issue yet . Roof light well is tile backer board with foil backed ceiling tile stuck to it . Ceiling had to be fire resistant tiles ( just a fibre glass backing ) Whilst not a major issue yet can only assume will get worse . I could get this tile out - but then what ? . Try and ‘line’ in the Lightwell backside ? . Cover back of replacement tile in foil ???
December 10, 20232 yr Suspended ceiling tiles get water stains really easily. Is there any way you could help prevent the condensation forming in the first place? Celotex?

Can just about get my hands in there …
December 10, 20232 yr Well insulation should stop the warm air hitting the cold surround that causes the condensation. 🤷♂️

December 10, 20232 yr Author Of course I have no celotex so late in my build . All those off cuts skipped - typically 🫤 Will let it get worse first 🤣

I can’t do up to the glass as that is in the roof / floor . So just in the ceiling void . Maybe 30 cm by 60cm - something like that . Probably though buy 1 whole 25mm sheet
