Condensation risk?

Featured Replies

Happy Sunday. 

I've just got round to installing cabinets on the far side of my ground floor, however the builder didn't leave me enough of a return to just slot them in so I've had to remove the service void to leave enough of a gap between the doors and the units. 

 

However it's just dawned on me that as this is an external wall and the units rear board is bang up against the wall (no gap), I may have made a mistake in that condensation will collect at this point. 

 

The wall is block with cavity batts and the plasterboard is attached with foam.

 

Any thoughts on this? I could potentially bring them off the wall but not by a lot.

 

Cheers guys.

If the cavity insulation is doing its job any space behind the cabinets should be relatively warm. Don't see any real risk there.
