Perhaps, get that plastic glazing film and stick it on?
or open the trickle vents?Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0 -
Is it double glazed ???
If it is there should not be ANY condensation on the inside.0 -
Double glazing doesn't eliminate the possibility of condensation although it does usually lower the risk.Is it double glazed ???
If it is there should not be ANY condensation on the inside.
If the air in the conservatory is humid enough and the inside glass surface cold enough, then moisture will condense on the glass, and on the walls and other surfaces too if they are cold enough.
The solution is to reduce the humidity and/or increase the heat level.
Increasing ventilation should help but it can make matters worse if it is drawing in too much cold damp air from outside.
Reducing or eliminating sources of humidity, such as wet clothes drying, will help. A dehumidifier will help but will cost money. Heating also costs money.0
