Condensation

[No1newts]

Hi chaps.

Just recently bought a new house and a couple of the rooms get really bad condensation. Any reasons why this might be?

Is it cheap windows that can cause this the temperature bridging thing?

Trickle vents may be the thing. The double glazing isn't the newest and doesn't have them. Can you just get them retrofitted into existing double glazing?

I hope so! That's what I'm planning to do (I have trickle vents on order). I believe it's a case of drilling a number of holes through the plastic of the frames of the opening windows (on either side of the frame) and then fitting the vent over the top. Will report back my findings as i'll probably do this next weekend if the vents are delivered.

Cheers mate, I'll keep an eye on this thread for an update

Right I missed the thread for a while, going to give these trickle vents a try and will report back.

Do you lose much heat having trickle vents?
