When they are originally built, a conservatory is air and water tight, keeping heat within your Dunfermline home for longer and protecting it against the changeable weather. This doesn’t always mean that your conservatory will be well ventilated. As the temperature drops outside, warm water vapour within your extension will build up and turn into liquid as it touches the surface.

If left, condensation could cause detrimental problems for you and your home. Untreated condensation can cause mould, which can not only damage fabrics but also have a negative effect on your and your family’s home, with the potential to cause breathing issues.

Here are a couple tips to prevent condensation in conservatories. Ventilate your home and conservatory regularly, don't dry laundry in your conservatory, having blinds or curtains open during the day as well as to consider trickle vents for your windows to increase ventilation.
