Condensation on Windows South Wales
Permanent solutions for persistent window condensation. Our ventilation systems eliminate condensation by controlling excess moisture in your home's air.
Why Do You Get Condensation on Windows?
Condensation on windows occurs when warm, moist air inside your home comes into contact with cold window surfaces. The moisture in the air condenses into water droplets on the glass - a common problem in South Wales homes, especially during winter months.
Common causes include:
- High humidity levels: Excess moisture from cooking, bathing, drying clothes, and breathing builds up in poorly ventilated homes.
- Insufficient ventilation: Modern homes are more airtight, trapping moisture inside. Without proper ventilation, moisture has nowhere to escape.
- Temperature differences: Cold window surfaces (especially single glazing or poor double glazing) create condensation points when warm indoor air meets cold glass.
- Lifestyle factors: Drying clothes indoors, lack of extractor fans in bathrooms/kitchens, and keeping windows closed to save heat all contribute to condensation problems.
While wiping windows provides temporary relief, proper ventilation is the only permanent solution to eliminate condensation by controlling humidity levels throughout your home.

Window Condensation Problems We Solve
These common window condensation issues are all solvable with proper ventilation:
Morning Window Condensation
Heavy condensation on windows every morning, especially in bedrooms. Caused by body moisture and breathing overnight. Our ventilation systems work 24/7 to maintain optimal humidity, eliminating morning condensation.
Condensation Running Down Windows
Water droplets forming and running down windows, pooling on window sills. Can damage sills and surrounding walls. Ventilation prevents excess moisture building up, stopping condensation forming in the first place.
Condensation Between Double Glazing
Condensation appearing between double glazed panes indicates seal failure. However, high indoor humidity can worsen the problem. Ventilation reduces humidity, preventing condensation issues while windows are repaired or replaced.
Condensation on All Windows
Every window in the house covered in condensation, indicating whole-house humidity problem. Whole-house ventilation systems address this comprehensively, maintaining healthy humidity levels throughout your property.
Bathroom Window Condensation
Severe condensation on bathroom windows after showering, even with extractor fans. Often spreads to other rooms. Our ventilation ensures proper moisture removal, preventing bathroom humidity from affecting other areas.
Condensation Causing Mould
Mould growing around windows due to persistent condensation. Ventilation eliminates both condensation and mould by maintaining dry conditions around windows and frames.
Winter Condensation Problems
Severe condensation only in winter when heating is on and windows stay closed. Ventilation systems work year-round, maintaining optimal humidity regardless of weather or heating usage.
Window Frame Damage
Condensation water damaging window frames, sills, and surrounding walls. Rot and decay from persistent moisture. Ventilation prevents condensation, protecting your windows and frames from water damage.
Condensation Despite New Windows
Condensation still appearing after installing new double glazing, indicating the problem isn't the windows but excess indoor humidity. Ventilation addresses the root cause, regardless of window type.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about window condensation solutions:
Will ventilation eliminate all window condensation?
Yes - when properly sized and calibrated, ventilation systems maintain optimal humidity levels (40-60% relative humidity) that prevent condensation forming on windows. Our systems are proven to eliminate window condensation permanently.
Do I need to replace my windows?
No - ventilation solves condensation regardless of window type. While new windows can help, they don't solve excess humidity problems. Ventilation addresses the root cause, making window replacement unnecessary for condensation issues.
How long before condensation stops?
Most customers see immediate improvement within 24-48 hours of installation. Full condensation elimination typically achieved within 1-2 weeks as humidity levels stabilize throughout your home.
Will ventilation make my home cold?
No - MVHR systems recover 85-90% of heat from extracted air, actually reducing heating costs. Positive Input Ventilation systems use minimal heating from your loft. Both systems maintain warmth while improving air quality.
What if condensation is between double glazing?
Condensation between panes indicates seal failure requiring window repair/replacement. However, high indoor humidity worsens the problem. Ventilation reduces humidity while windows are fixed, and prevents future condensation issues.
Is ventilation cheaper than new windows?
Yes - ventilation systems cost £1,500-£4,500 installed. Replacing windows costs £3,000-£15,000+ and doesn't solve condensation if humidity remains high. Ventilation solves the problem at a fraction of the cost.
Do I need ventilation in every room?
Whole-house ventilation systems work from central points, treating your entire property. Individual room units aren't usually necessary - one system addresses condensation throughout your home.
Can I install ventilation myself?
We strongly recommend professional installation. Proper sizing, placement, and electrical work require expertise. Incorrect installation won't solve condensation and may create new problems. Our certified installers ensure optimal results.
