Condensation

Condensation is a widespread problem and can be a health hazard; the problem is most common in autumn and winter when the air is colder and the amount of moisture in it higher. There are four factors to consider - the activities which generate moisture (such as cooking, washing etc); the ventilation in your home; the insulation in your home and the overall temperature.
