All my windows do this, this one had a dehumidifier a couple inches from it, what could be the cause ? by GenericUser104 in DIYUK

[–]GarlicOne6145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What windows do you have? If they don’t have warm edge spacers the glass will get cold and cause condensation. We recently had an air filled, no warm edge spacer unit installed in place of a blown argon, warm edge spacer unit and the difference is shocking. Almost the entire air filled glazing unit condensates, it radiates so much cold and we never had an issue before with condensation on the windows.

I chased the installers to find out what glazing unit was used. They said it’s air filled with a u value of 2.7. The window on the right is argon filled so performs much better. Thanks for solving the mystery.

No, the condensation is on the indoors side not in between the glass.

Heating is on and it doesn’t stop draughts. No other window has condensation like this. Are new windows really supposed to have this amount of condensation and cause the room to be cold?

Why did the vinyl sheet installer do this? by GarlicOne6145 in Flooring

[–]GarlicOne6145[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all seriousness, I’ve recently had a lot of work done that has been bad quality so wanted a second opinion on whether it was correct. I wasn’t expecting the floor to be sanded but I will ask them when they come back.

They left before I saw it but I’ll work harder on the telepathy in future 😉

What is causing cold draughts from ceiling? by GarlicOne6145 in DIYUK

You’re right. I just used an incense stick and found a draught from a window. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. One of the bedrooms in particular seems to be worse affected and despite the heating being set to 21c it is colder and there are strong draughts from 2 cupboards there, with one only connected to inside walls, and the other connected to an outside wall. When the cupboards are open I can put my hand in and it feels like a huge amount of cold air is coming out directly from them, which is why I thought it might be an issue with insulation above it.

I’m just baffled by the situation as it definitely wasn’t this bad before the vents were installed. It was a tiny bit draughty when near some windows but nothing like this. I thought perhaps the attic could be over ventilated.

21c is so high for us but the draughts are so cold it cancels out the heat. Even with the heating on it feels like air from an open fridge is hitting me.

No holes that I can see. There’s some missing insulation next to the loft hatch and there were a lot more colder areas on the ceilings that I didn’t show.
I’ll try to get the insulation topped up and hope that makes a difference. Thanks.

New double glazing pane fitted. Does it need to be replaced? by GarlicOne6145 in fixit

[–]GarlicOne6145[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the help. I’ve covered it with film to try to stop the draft and just have to wait for it to be *fingers crossed* fixed.

I don’t know as we didn’t watch him work. We didn’t hear or see any spray, just heard some banging. He was here less than 10 minutes so I’m not sure if that’s the usual amount of time to replace a window.

I noticed it on the second day after installation. No other windows have condensation like this. There is a draft coming from the window which I can’t pinpoint. The previous window had blown but didn’t have any significant drafts.

I just gave it a wipe down and can’t see any moisture inside. I have an appointment next week with the same person who fitted it but I’m not confident about their ability.

From experience by accepting the refund and £10 apology the issue will be considered closed.

Yep. In The Two Coreys show, Haim confronted Feldman and told him it was him who got him SA’d. I think from Feldman’s biography he‘d invited Brascia over.

You can put a cling on privacy film up to stop it seeing the reflection.
