Arthurss Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Hi, we recently bought house and previous owner installed new windows in two rooms. After couple of months we started to notice that all corners are completely wet and there are no window boxes, seals etc. He said he was going to do frame so there are some metal beads. Any recommendations what could we do to fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago The last thing I would do is use that steel framing. i would strip the plaster from the reveal and add a strip of pir insulation with the plasterboard bonded onto it. glue it to the brick work to insulate those reveals, then re plaster. many ways to do it, but you need to isolate the cold outside from the warm inside metal will transfer the cold through which is what you want to avoid.

MikeGrahamT21 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Are you sure that’s just condensation? What material is the painted bit to the left of the window made of? And what’s on the outside? Looks a bit like water ingress as well as condensation to my untrained eye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
