    our house is pretty draughty, and that seemingly helps to keep it cond-free.
    Yet you contradict my suggestion to ventilate the space that's getting condensate?  :neutral:

    Eek! Did I? If so, an error. If a cupboard is getting misty or mouldy, then absolutely keep its doors open as much as possible.
    A closed wardrobe will still have moist air seeping into it, which will condense out on any cold surface, and with little chance of it being evaporated away with a good airflow.

    Edit: Ah, I meant there is no need - it serves no purpose, and would be far more space-consuming and complex - to have a ventilated gap behind the insulation layer.
