Hi there.
I know this topic has been covered a number of times, but...
I am getting a LOT of condensation on my bedroom window at the moment overnight where it's cold out. Some of the plaster around the window is also getting damp, and some mould has started to form. I leave the window open slightly (on the ventilation latch, whatever it's called) during the day.
The bedroom is approx 3.6m x 3.5m x 2.55m with a window area of 1.7m2. There is loft insulation above (maybe could do with some more) and there is a single radiator (600x900). However, it never gets really warm in the bedroom so I suspect this is the problem. The heating is on for an hour in the morning and about 2.5 hours in the evening, which keeps the lounge/kitchen warm, but upstairs doesn't get as warm.
I am going to take a look at the loft insulation, but also thinking of upgrading to a double radiator. Do you think this would help with the condensation? What about looking at insulating the jambs to help prevent damp plaster?
I would appreciate any opinions.
Regards,
Shaun
