condensation in our bedroom

[codswallop]

we live in a new ish house with plastic double glazed windows.

why do we still have condensation on the inside of our windows in the am? none of our neighbours seem to.

have it in winter reagrdless of heating.

One theory is that its water from our en suite.

ANy ideas?

Is it all over the window, Coddy, or just at the bottom? We used to get the latter on our double glazing but it would go by mid-morning. Do you dry washing indoors or have showers last thing at night? That made things worse. Ventilation is really the key, I understand. Now we're in a house with a chimney we don't get condensation, so maybe you need to have a fan thingie in your ensuite to help air circulate? We have also used a dehumidifier in the past and the amount of water it removed was seriously scary!! HTH.

well I have tried windows open and shut(on really cold nights).Its mopstly at the bottom. I thought upvc would eliminiate all this

needless to say its worse with dh there than when he is away.

have dought dehumidifier thing today - a little one

He's obviously breathing too much!

Is every window in the house closed at night? Leaving one open often does the trick, bathroom being the best if it's secure.

ah now thres a good idea

Rampant sex causing steamy windows?

tha tmight also explain why the neighbours are condensation free - poor lambs

heh heh heh heh heh

any way everyone in s wiltshire is at it like rabbits

our windows can lock about 2 cm open so I may try that. I will ignore all the innuendo.

you should live in a 400 yr old house. LOTS of natural ventilation!

We get the same - do you have a bar at the top of your window that you can open to let some ventilation in? Also, according to a booklet the double glazing co. gave us, it can be caused by curtains/blinds too close to the window and not letting the heat get at the window. We've got roman blinds upstairs and I think that's what our problem is. It's a pain though - so much for double glazing in this case!!

there are these in the kids rooms but not i ours weirdly..

we too habeve roman blinds - maybe thats it?

am trying de humidifier tonight and dh back late from aLondon so that will minimise the heat!

You don't have enough ventillation. The double glazed windows don 't let the air in/out the way the old single glazed ones do (hence why they're warmer/quieter). And the en suite probably makes it worse. You should make sure that there is a good working fan in the ensuite and maybe if there isn't a ventillation panel in the window, you should think about getting an airbrick put in.

Ok en suite has a window thats fine. Have discovered that we HAVE a vent in our room - on the larger window,

anyway left one window slightly open and put the tiny dehunidifier on the other windowsill - much better.
