Do you have dripping windows or, worse, dripping walls? Have you seen black mould growing around your window frames and on your walls? These are the tell-tale indicators that your house might be suffering from condensation. Unfortunately, because of the large temperature differential between the warm interior of your home and the chilly exterior, dwellings are more prone to condensation throughout the winter months.
Wintry weather tempts homeowners to preserve as much heat as possible in order to keep warm, which means the warm air moving around your home has nowhere to go. Condensation will occur on surfaces below the dew point of the surrounding air as a result of this.
