Do you mean using a condenser tumble dryer downstairs?dryer and no air circulation is a main cause of that
if its wet inside of those windows there seal has gone
I dont think the moisture is inside the units. I think its actually in the house.I think Gaz means is there moisture trapped between the panes?
heat and ventilation will cure it. condensation from irons kettles cooking even breathing cause it and it goes to the coldest rooms in the house . I run a dehumidifier in the kitchen and get about a gallon of water out every 2 days and keep the humidity to about 50% if its not running it rises to 75% outside is about 80 % at the moment
Lack of air circulation, as above, was my thoughts, but far from an expert.
However... Not wishing to hijack this early thread... Does anyone know how to remove doubleglazed panels from clip alu frames? Can't find anything on the 'net.
Have a broken panel to replace. Been told sturdy steel spatula, but to no avail,and don't want to fubar it.
Electric cooker but he does run the condenser dryer daily.a condenser tumble dryer and a number of other things causes that leaving gas hobs on
I think upstairs windows are locked as he has a 4 year old.I think the majority of condensation problems are likely to be lifestyle related.
I often see people complain on Facebook about living in damp, mouldy properties but I bet they rarely open a window.
the most I see is in rented property's they wont put there heating on or open any windows I get to put a fair few humidistat fans in bathrooms . if you only put a standard fan in or a timer fan they just turn them off if there is an isolator switch fitted then they complain to the council there living in a damp propertyI think the majority of condensation problems are likely to be lifestyle related.

I dont think its wet inside the units mate.The seals have gone......You need new sealed units....you can get someone to do it or do it yourself....measure them up and get them made....be careful to get the measurements correct....My windows are 25 years old uPVC and the units have gone one by one.....I did the firdst few myself but then I measured one wrong and had to get another made....nowadays I pay someone....its not much dearer...Ive got 2 that need doing now...I will get round to it sooner or later
as said . you don't get mould on the inside and walls if just the unit has broke downI dont think its wet inside the units mate.
I was thinking that if the seal has gone they are just single glazed really........and that gets cold...and condensation forms etc etcas said . you don't get mould on the inside and walls if just the unit has broke down
If the unit has gone you end up with condensation on the inside running down the glass keeping the cill damp.as said . you don't get mould on the inside and walls if just the unit has broke down
