Condensation is the curse of the modern home which is more susceptible than houses of yesteryear. A modern house has double glazing, draught proofing and is well insulated unlike the older house which had open fires and the windows probably did not fit all that well.
Condensation occurs when warm moist air settles upon a cold surface, this is usually a window and the bathroom is obviously the place where this is seen the most with showers and baths happening morning and evening. At Crossteam properties we can provide simple solutions to prevent the formation of condensation which if this continues regularly can cause damage to decorations and timber surfaces can also be affected by wood rot.
Ventilation is the easiest way to prevent a build up of warm moist air and we can advise on the best means of extracting the air from the bathroom. Positioning extractor fans in strategic places will usually solve the problem, but just putting one in a window may not be the best or most efficient place.
