Preventing Condensation

​Condensation occurs when the surface temperature is below the dew point in the atmosphere. Designers should be aware that wherever the patent glazing system is at a lower temperature than the surrounding atmosphere and there is sufficient humidity, condensation is likely to occur. External factors such as frost, cold rain and low air temperature will increase the risk of condensation and similarly internal conditions where humidity is increased in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and swimming pools for example, will also run a higher risk of problems from condensation.

Ventilation will help to reduce these problems together with the use of double glazed units with low U values and ThermGard, our thermally broken roof glazing system.
