Hi - we got our local builder to install a upvc window to replace an old wooden one and at the same time, we had the thick (50cm), solid stone walls dry-lined with 62mm board. At the time I mentioned to the builder that it seemed to me that the window reveals might get cold and form condensation but he reckoned we'd be OK.
So, now that we have water running down the reveals, I'm hoping to figure out an easy solution! One issue is that on one side, the window reveal is in line with an internal wall.
On another room, which I had a go at myself after this one, I did all the above but also used a very thin plasterboard/insulation laminate (about 20mm total) in the reveals and this seems to work. However, doing this on the first room will need quite major hacking of the walls and then hoping that we can get an inch of material off the wall to be able to sink the thin board enough to avoid a step at the reveal. Then plastering etc. The room has new carpets, paintwork etc...
Is there another way? Paints etc?
Thanks
