you can easily enough google why condensation happens buy a an infrared temperature gun, they're about £20 off amazon. determine the temperature of the room, the wall the frame(s) and the glass. if you find that the temperature of the frame is less than the glass and wall then that is where the...

i don't think I'm a bot ;) apologies for my typo an interesting test is to get a cheap "Infrared Thermometer aka Non-Contact Digital Laser Temperature Gun". you can quite clearly soon find what the real cause of the problem is ie where the cold is coming from. In my case there was a 7 degree...

some points, don't get too waylaid by humidity, although it is relevant. That implies you are at fault and not the installer think: where is the cold coming from? 1. if the frame is thermally broken then the inside of the frame is cold because of the outside getting cold and transferring the...

1. as aluminium is highly conductive to heat, it will heat up quickly in a warm room. Of course, it won't do that if the frame is thermally broken then your heat is quickly transferred outside 2. if the window frame has no subframe and is installed onto the brick. brick gets cold and will...
