B****y Hell !! You're older than me !!masona said:The problem in today property we are so well insulated and we're making it worse plus making us ill with bacteria/germs around all to save heating bills and make you wonder if we're doing the right thing!! I have mention this before you cannot beat a draughty windows and open fire for good ventilation which is good for our health,I remember the old lead-light window type letting in air, those were the days!

Have to disagree,I have a secondary glazing in my bedroom 6" away from my double glazing for noise reason as I do shiftwork.There is condensation on the glass being the coldest surface of the room but stop since we use dehumidifier.The problems today we are too well insulated for the moisture to escape anywhere,so the moisture find the coldest spot and that is the window glass!Doris said:It is unusual to get condensation on the inside of double glazing.
oilman said:Most of the drying benefit from the humidifier comes from the power input to the motor. So you could use a small heater.
The real advantage I would say is for drying clothes in our utility room.
oilman is wrong in suggesting condensation could cause rising damp,....
