Cheap internal doors bowed with heat.. fix?

[devs]

Hi guys, I had a leak yesterday in a conversion that I'm doing in my loft and have had heaters etc on over night to dry things out.

This morning I have noticed that the heat from the heater has bowed two of the doors.

They are cheap internals from howdens.

Are they likely to return to shape now that I have removed the heat source or is there something further that I can do to help?

Many thanks,

Steve.

The leak is more likely cause of warping, need replacing.

may be a humidity imbalance so worth giving it a couple off week with ventilation to let the humidity balance out a bit

Thanks guys, feel it might be a humidity imbalance. Would I dehumidifier likely help?

Also do you suggest that I keep the doors in the closed position? As that’s how they were left over night?

thanks again.

i would just open the door if you have a closed door you will have moist air one side at perhaps 85% and 60% the other
