Afternoon all -
Apologies if this topic has been done to death already - I can't find it, if it has.
My Conservatory is glazed in hollow-section Polycarbonate / PVC type stuff, as I'm sure many are. It's blooming freezing. I'm a competent joiner, and can't see any real issues with insulating and boarding it out (ie - from the inside - some studwork against the existing ceiling, a layer of insulating material, and over-boarded with pine cladding or suchlike). HOWEVER - I can see a potential issue with condensation. As I write this, it's dripping a bit on the inside because I just put the heating on. It's not leaking - it's pooling condensation on the ceiling members, which drips down. SO of course - wouldn't want to be sealing that all up with insulation and timber.
My question is - have any of you guys got any experience of doing this, please, and did condensation turn out to be an issue (and if so, what did you do to solve it? )
Thanks to all in advance !
Chris.
