My lean-to conservatory has top to bottom glass panels and like most people it produces a lot of condensation in the winter. So far I have installed a couple of extra trickle vents for extra ventilation. I have also had a suspended ceiling installed complete with special waterproof insulated tiles designed to help retain the heat etc. in conservatories.
My last thought is to try and instal some kind of barrier on the glass going so far up each unit using something like the board used for under floor heating. My idea is to use a 6mm waterproof insulated board like the ProWarm XPS Premium Board 1200mm x 600mm x 6mm. If I could fix this lightweight board on to each window frame using some kind of tape so I can take it away at a later date without damaging the frames etc.
Has anyone any thoughts on my idea including how to install the board without damaging the windows frames etc? Or any other ideas on how to resolve this problem during the winter period or other materials I might be able use instead of the board etc. then I would appreciated them.

Could also look at some form of secondary glazing, be it the cling film stuff or perspex/acrylic.

Fans. Oscillating desk type ones - 40-80W.

Keep the air moving to keep the temperature differential between air and glass small. The smaller the difference, the less chance of condensation forming.

Do not increase heating - which will only increase the capacity of the air to hold more water.
