Bubble wrap on windows for winter

Have got single glass on two sides of the house. Was thinking of trying it in a room with bad light and view.

These windows all get bad condensation at times, so will this make it worse ?

you mean 90% humidity and 57% humidity? and 1 degree C? Or what?

Sorry, should clarify the numbers. The 90% humidity was taken from local weather station-outside. The 57% humidity was taken from a power usage meter which has a built in hygrometer.(This is in a room with no external windows.)
The outside temperature at the time was 1C.

After a few more nights I would say that it is worth doing. Especially for windows that are never used in winter.

Tonight (with the wind) should mean no condensation at all.

I also have a huge problem with condensation and mould..heavy curtains didn't help at all. It is my second day with bubble wrapped windows and I can see the difference. It definitely helps and I will continue using it. I saw a How to here www.fantasticwindowcleaning.co.uk/blog/warm-winter-bubble-wrap-diy-window-insulation/ :) Give it a try
