Hi everyone,
Looking for some help as to what to do about this problem.
Our house was built in the 1950s, semi detached, two floors. Every morning since the weather turned colder, I've had a big problem with condensation on my bedroom windows. It's a bay window and the double-glazed windows were already installed 7 years ago when we bought the house. I clean the windows every morning, which is no big deal, but I can't help but think that this is not normal!
We need new windows, definitely, but does anyone have experience of this and what to do about the problem with the condensation? I don't think that simply getting new windows will solve the issue. It's so bad that I know it will lead to damp if we don't get it sorted.
For context, I open the windows every morning to air the house for up to 15 minutes and often during the day as I'm working from home in there. We have an extractor in the bathroom and windows open whenever anyone is in there getting showered etc.
I've seen things like dehumidifiers can help with this, but I'd rather find a solution that doesn't involve having another piece of electrical equipment to store.
