Condensation in porch

Hi, We've just had a little porch built across an indent at the front of my house next to my garage, up to an existing bay window. It consists of a window, and a sliding door. Its misty/condensy in there and i wonder whether we will have to replace window with one that opens a bit at the top or if we could put a vent in the inside going in to the cavity wall where there is already an air brick on the outside?

How long has it been built? The condensation could be the structure drying out. Concrete especially can take a while.
Does the window have trickle vents?0 -
I'm guessing it doesn't. A small porch will dry out in a few weeks.
I'd suspect your inner door is the issue, the outside being cold is a given, but condensation can only form when moisture laden warm air hits the outer surface. IE, the warmth and moisture is coming from within,;)I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0
