Hello

We have a double glased sky light window with metal frame around it in our extension ceiling.

During the winter, when we warm up the house and probably due to the temperature difference between the glass and the inside of the house the metal frame (but not the glass itself) is getting covered with water spots that constantly leaking to the floor.

Any idea how can I prevent this?
 
Warm moist room air coming into contact with cold metal frame equals condensation. Option is to lower humidity level by either lowering room temperature or opening window (ventilation) Or you could paint the metal frame with a layer of "insulating" paint
 
Thanks however by doing this I'll be cooling the house, can I not install / glue something on that frame to stop this from happening?
